BTS's V (Kim Taehyung) parties with long-time friend Park Bo Gum after arriving in Paris

Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, is already making waves in Paris ahead of his highly anticipated appearance at the CELINE Printemps 2026 fashion show.

On July 4, Taehyung arrived safely in Paris and was spotted entering his hotel, looking effortlessly stylish. He departed South Korea in the early morning to attend the CELINE show on July 6, his first official event since completing his military service last month.

Hours later, Taehyung left his hotel to visit a restaurant. Dressed in the ultimate bad-boy attire, he wore a black leather jacket, a white top, and blue denim. A crowd of fans was seen gathering around his hotel, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. 

Later that night, Taehyung joined a welcome party thrown in his honor at Club Larc. Clips shared by the venue showed Taehyung enjoying himself, dancing atop an elevated platform and charming everyone with his playful energy.

A big sign with the message "Welcome to Paris V" was seen in the crowd. 

During the party, longtime friend and fellow CELINE ambassador Park Bo Gum made an appearance. The two stars were later spotted leaving the nightclub together, with Taehyung walking arm-in-arm with Park, showing off their close bond.

With the CELINE show just two days away, excitement is building as fans eagerly await to see what Taehyung will bring to the fashion scene next.
