BTS' V and Park Bo Gum ignite Paris Fashion Week buzz

Dubai: K-pop idol V of BTS and actor Park Bo Gum are generating buzz online after a viral video captured the duo at an exclusive party in Paris. The two were at a party hosted by Celine ahead of the Paris Fashion week. Fans noted how the luxury brand had lavishly welcomed the two stars.

V's anticipated return and Parisian welcome

V arrived in Paris for his first official engagement since completing military service on June 10, 2025. This highly anticipated return immediately generated significant chatter online. His arrival marked a high-profile comeback, characterised by the viral clip, fan engagement, and notable fashion moments.

As a global brand ambassador for Celine, V is set to headline their Fashion Week event. Upon his arrival, the K-pop idol shared an update: his hotel room already held bouquets, cards, and branded merchandise. Apparently he also plans to hit the red carpet soon. Amidst these preparations, a new video surfaced online. It shows Taehyung enthusiastically dancing and holding sparklers at his welcome party. Dressed in head-to-toe Celine couture, he freely danced with staff and other guests. V completed his military service last month, along with bandmates RM, Jungkook, and Jimin. He has quickly resumed solo, group, and brand work.

Inside the viral party and star sightings

The viral video offered a glimpse into the vibrant party atmosphere. It showed V, also known as "Winter Bear," in a black leather jacket, a white inner tee, and blue denim, accessorised with Celine pieces and sunglasses. Attendees celebrated the global brand ambassador's arrival by opening champagne bottles. Loud music filled the air as Taehyung, at the center of the celebration, lit a sparkler, performed dance moves, and sang along.

Earlier, hundreds of fans swarmed V outside his hotel, eager for a glimpse. Another video captured him leaving the venue with K-drama star Park Bo Gum, also a Celine ambassador, confirming their joint attendance.

Chaotic departure from Korea prompts safety message

Taehyung's journey to Paris began on July 4, with his departure from Incheon International Airport. An overwhelming crowd met him there. The situation quickly became uncontrollable, forcing his managers and bodyguards to struggle to protect him.

One fan got dangerously close, causing the crowd to react wildly, and some individuals even fell. A fan later posted a video of the incident on Weverse, a fan interaction platform. V himself responded, "ARMY, you know that, right? It’s dangerous. Let’s be safe next time."
