BTS's V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has sent ARMY (BTS's fan base) into a frenzy with a recently shared shirtless photo from his time at Paris Fashion Week. The singer, currently in Paris for Celine's Spring 2026 fashion show, posted a carousel of images on Instagram that have taken the internet by storm.
Among the series of photos, one stood out: a confident, shirtless V posing in front of a mirror inside a Paris gym, glistening post-workout. Sporting only relaxed-fit trousers, the global pop icon displayed his toned physique, serving major fitness inspiration.
V's appearance at Paris Fashion Week has been marked by several stylish moments. Arriving at Incheon International Airport on October 4th, en route to Paris, V, a global ambassador for CELINE, showcased his cool airport style. He wore a checkered white shirt with a loose black tie, faded blue denim jeans, and black boots, accessorizing with layered neckchains and a brown handbag featuring a Hirono keychain doll.
His appearances at the Celine show have further solidified his status as a fashion icon. He was seen attending the Celine SS26 fashion show. One notable look included a long brown coat layered over a crisp white shirt, paired with a distinctive tie featuring a subtle leopard print. His dark hair was styled naturally, with minimal makeup.
Another ensemble saw V in an all-black outfit that exuded sophistication. He sported a sleek black turtleneck paired with matching trousers and boots, layered under a long black coat featuring a striking gold floral brooch. His slicked-back hair completed the polished look as he attended a private dinner with the K-pop group TWS and the Celine team.
Beyond his fashion choices, V also captured attention for his interactions with other celebrities. A video went viral of V assisting actress Uma Thurman with her hair, which made fans gush over the singer's kind gesture.
ARMY's reactions to V's Parisian escapades have been overwhelming. Social media platforms are filled with comments praising his style, charisma, and overall presence. Many fans have expressed their admiration for his ability to effortlessly blend high fashion with his unique charm.
V was officially named CELINE's global ambassador on March 15, 2023. His recent appearances at Paris Fashion Week not only highlight his ongoing partnership with the brand but also spark conversations about the influence of K-pop idols in the fashion world.
