Now, his latest outing instantly lit up social media, racking up over 2 million mentions on X. Fans are reacting to the milestone, with one user stating,

"SEE when you’re a GLOBAL ICON and THE MAIN EVENT that will happen," an X user commented.

Fans are widely commenting on the "impact" he holds.

Some are calling him the "idol of idols," while others describe him as the "standard," with many commenting on his "supremacy."

BTS’ Taehyung talks about his experience attending CELINE Été 2026

In a Vogue interview, BTS' V discussed CELINE’s Été 2026 show, stating,

“I went to see the Celine show today, and first of all, there were so many really pretty looks. Among them, there was this purple dress with some sparkles, ah! I really, really want to wear it. But when would I… huh? There’s no rule saying I can’t, right? I’ll try it someday.”

Throughout the event, he engaged with attendees, signing autographs, waving, and posing. The Layover hitmaker even helped Uma Thurman when her hair slipped. Taehyung also met Sidney Toledano, former Dior and LVMH chief and current advisor to LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, exchanging polite greetings in French:

“Merci. I’m doing good, great!”

He shared a playful moment with MEOWW’s Narin, doing the cat paw pose. Taehyung interacted with TWS members too, concluding the meeting with a V pose. The 29-year-old also acknowledged reporters courteously and took pictures with CELINE global CEO Séverine Merle. When Merle asked about his previous day, the artist said,

“It was nice but I want ‘Tuh Tuh’ music.”

Clips online also captured him enjoying a pistachio croissant. Kim Taehyung officially joined CELINE on March 15, 2023, earning the nickname “CELINE Boy” from Hedi Slimane.

Earlier, BTS’ V departed from Incheon Airport to Paris on October 4th. He wore a white checked cotton shirt paired with light-wash wide-leg jeans. The outfit was completed with CELINE’s calfskin Western boots and a brown CELINE duffel, which featured a ‘Fight for Joy’ plush keychain.
