Paris Fashion Week delivered plenty of headline-worthy moments, but none stirred quite as much excitement as the reappearance of BTS member Kim Taehyung, known globally as V, alongside acclaimed actor Park Bo-gum. Recently discharged from military service, Taehyung made a striking return to the spotlight at Celine’s Spring 2026 runway show, instantly becoming the center of attention — and not just for his fashion choices.
In the days leading up to the show, Taehyung seemed to turn the city of Paris into his personal art installation. His social media feed — filled with shadowy mirror snaps and dreamlike city walks — revealed a man embracing his freedom and channeling it into a visually rich narrative. Fans have been captivated by every update, as Taehyung shared serene dinners, quiet strolls near the Eiffel Tower, and poetic moments that gave his Instagram the feel of a visual diary dedicated to the City of Light.

Among the most talked-about highlights was his joint appearance with longtime friend Park Bo-gum. The two were spotted leaving the Grand Palais following Celine’s exclusive pre-show dinner, dressed in fashionably understated ensembles that complemented one another effortlessly.
Taehyung opted for a sleek black long-sleeved shirt paired with grey trousers, exuding subtle sophistication, while Bo Gum brought flair with a black vest layered over a polka-dot shirt and classic denim. Their easy chemistry, caught as they descended the venue’s stairs in casual conversation, radiated a cinematic charm that fans described as straight out of a K-drama infused with French elegance.
It wasn’t just their coordinated style that captured hearts — it was their natural rapport, the kind of effortless connection that can’t be scripted. Cameras followed their every move, and social media buzzed with admiration.
