It has been nearly a week since V attended the “Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Collection” show by CELINE, held on the 5th as part of Paris Fashion Week, in his capacity as the brand’s global ambαѕѕador. Yet, the buzz surrounding his appearance at the event remains strong, proving the immense influence of a global K-pop superstar.
Both domestic and international media outlets, fashion enthusiasts, and even celebrities who attended the event alongside V have continuously shared vivid images and personal stories about the electrifying atmosphere he created. They couldn’t stop praising his stunning looks, kind personality, the way fans cheered for him as if it were his own solo concert, and even the behind-the-scenes stories that “only insiders would know.”
One such story was shared by Junseok Lee (John), a digital creator who was also a guest at CELINE. He posted on Instagram revealing the real reason behind the now-viral “V walking through the forest at Parc de Saint-Cloud” moment — a story that has left fans both surprised and delighted.
To recap, during CELINE’s recent event attended by V, several sources — including media reports, CELINE’s own footage, and V himself — showed that he had left the main venue area for a while. While other guests gathered in the event hall, he took a quiet walk, enjoying nature and even looking for a four-leaf clover in peace. Surrounded by his bodyguards, he looked every bit like a prince.
Moreover, several clips also showed him giving short interviews with top fashion magazines in the forest and even playfully interacting with reporters afterward.
The reason why V was “wandering” in the forest instead of staying at the CELINE event was revealed by Lee as follows:
Junseok Lee’s account was later supported by several videos and photos shared online, showing how a large number of celebrities and reporters had gathered around V’s seat or waited to take pictures with him. At the time, fans were already amazed by the attention V attracted, but according to Lee’s story, the situation was even more overwhelming than the photos had suggested.
Previously, many thought that V’s playful stroll through the forest was simply his personal choice or a casual activity after the show. However, it turned out to be a necessary arrangement by CELINE to manage the overwhelming attention directed toward their most sought-after ambαѕѕador. Fans finally understood why some Western media outlets remarked that while Michael Rider’s collection was meant to be the main focus, V ended up “stealing the spotlight” from the show.
ARMYs couldn’t help but marvel at this revelation and at the unparalleled influence of their idol:
- So adorable! No wonder people can’t help but get attached to him!
- Now we know why he was in the forest! This is so insane, Taehyung is phenomenal.
- They literally had to ‘hide’ V so people would remember it was a fashion show, not a V fanmeeting. His star power is unbelievable
- Taehyung's impact is magnificent, he's a phenomenal, he's has charm nobody could resist, he's the moment & the eVent
- They hid him in the forest. Last time, they ask him to exit through the backdoor. Babyy needs to be bubble wrapped
- He drew all energy focus and lenses toward him not by trying but simply by being. A true superstar is a gravitational force.
- So maybe this is the reason why he has time to look for four leaf clover. Kim Taehyung, shine wherever you go ,wherever you do!!!!
- i've been wondering why he could hv that much time in the forest instead of staying in the show....that's where they hid him lmaoo my baby so famous
- When you're the most popular one.. never saw this happen to other ambαѕѕadors of any brand
- Now that’s what I call Real influence not company paid and staged. The World can’t get enough of the World Star Kim Taehyung ( V ) of bts
- True influences cannot be manipulated. Kim Taehyung is born to be loved and celebrated
- not them hiding Tae because instead of guest viewing the collections there will be watching Tae. Tae is famous famous
- So they were like, “Taehyung-nim, please hide in the forest for a moment,” and he was like, “Okay.” Then he cheerfully went looking for four-leaf clovers, played around, and came back eating a croissant like nom nom. He's actually the prince, everyone wanted to have an au∂ιєnce with him
- CELINE probably had to do that just to remind everyone that their collection was supposed to be the main character. V’s influence is on another level — it’s insane!
