On May 22, 2023, BTS' Kim Tae-hyung posted an Instagram story with a text overlay that read "Tae Crew." The idol was seemingly surrounded by his staff members and was in a bejewled Celine jacket that he was spotted wearing a day before, in Paris. In the picture, the idol seemed to be enjoying with other crew members. However, he later deleted the aforementioned Instagram story due to unknown reasons.

After fans saw V's Instagram story, many speculated that the idol was occupied with the filming of his music video for his first-ever upcoming solo album. They could not contain their excitement and took to Twitter to express it and started trending KTH1 on the aforementioned social media platform.


Fans can't wait for BTS' Kim Tae-hyung's upcoming album

In the deleted Instagram story, Kim Tae-hyung was decked-up in Celine's encrusted leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. He completed his look with conique black crocodile-stamped boots.

On the same day as the aforementioned story, Tae-hyung also posted an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival to Celine, confirming his attendance. V has been announced as the global ambassador for the French luxury brand and is currently occupied with the promotional activities for the same.

While some fans think that V is in Paris solely for filming the music video for his first debut solo album, others are of the opinion that he is in Paris for the Celine pictorial event and for attending Cannes Film Festival 2023.

Needless to say, the deletion of Kim Tae-hyung's Instagram story led to much fan speculation. Here's how the internet reacted:

The idol departed for Paris from Incheon International Airport on May 15, 2023, for his overseas schedule.

It has been also reported by French journalist and photographer Taoualit Amar that he saw BTS' Kim Tae-hyung and BLACKPINK's Jennie strolling down the streets of Paris. He uploaded images of the two of them, sparking a frenzy on social media.
