Taehyung also met Sidney Toledano, the former chief of Christian Dior and LVMH Fashion Group, now an advisor to LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault.

The two exchanged polite greetings, with Taehyung replying in French, “Merci. I’m doing good, great!” Throughout the event, V took photos with CELINE staff and acknowledged reporters with calm courtesy as well.

"A REAL GENTLEMAN," an X user commented.

Clips and images circulated quickly online, with many hailing him as a "gentleman."

Meanwhile, others couldn’t stop gushing over his looks, calling him a "prince," with the phrase "Prince Taehyung" trending online.
