Before the 'Celine's Fashion Week' event, BTS member Kim Taehyung, better known by his stage name V, made a dramatic comeback to the world stage when he arrived in Paris. The K-pop icon was seen partying in style with actor and close friend Park Bo Gum on June 10, 2025, shortly after being discharged from the military. Videos of their glitzy night out went viral on social media.

From military uniform to Parisian coutureV’s Paris appearance marks his first official schedule post-military, and he didn’t waste a moment stepping back into the limelight. After arriving in the city, he was welcomed with a private celebration hosted at ‘Club Larc,’ where guests popped champagne and held up a glittering sign that read “Welcome to Paris, V.”



Dressed head-to-toe in Celine couture, V wore a black leather jacket, a white inner tee, blue denim, and sunglasses, which made an effortlessly cool ensemble that quickly went viral. Fans couldn’t get enough of his look, with many calling it one of his most iconic fashion moments till date.







A night to remember with Park Bo GumVideos from the party showed V dancing atop an elevated platform, lighting sparklers, and singing along to the music. The energy was electric, and the crowd made up of stylists, brand reps, and close friends, cheered him on. Later in the night, V was seen leaving the club with Park Bo Gum, his longtime friend and fellow Celine ambassador.



Fan frenzy and a gentle reminderBefore the Paris festivities, V had departed from ‘Incheon International Airport’ on July 4, where he was met with an overwhelming crowd. The situation became so intense that security struggled to maintain order, prompting V to later post on Weverse. “ARMY, you know that, right? It’s dangerous. Let’s be safe next time.”
