BTS’s V Connects with Park Bo Gum in Paris Amid Canceled CELINE Fashion Show

BTS member V, aka Kim Taehyung, traveled from Seoul to Paris last month to participate in CELINE’s spring 2024 menswear show. As the newest brand ambassador for the renowned designer brand, the 95-liner earned praise when he arrived at Incheon Airport sporting a head-to-toe CELINE outfit.

However, amidst growing protests in various cities across France, CELINE’s creative director, Hedi Slimane, officially announced the show’s cancellation. (It was initially set for July 2.) The protests erupted following the tragic shooting of Nahel, a 17-year-old of Algerian-Moroccan heritage, during a police stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. 

V‘s presence in Paris amid the protests made French ARMYs anxious. However, he reassured fans by sharing his experiences on his Instagram Stories. Despite the cancellation, V was able to spend some time with his fellow CELINE global ambassador, actor Park Bo Gum. The two appeared together in a video greeting for VMAN, an offshoot of V Magazine, delighting fans with their camaraderie.

BTS’s V may not have been able to showcase his presence at the CELINE fashion show. Still, his trip to Paris provided memorable moments and glimpses into his stylish adventures, solidifying his status as a global fashion influencer.
