On December 17, BTS member Taehyung attended CELINE’s year-end brand event. He arrived at the CELINE store and paused briefly at the entrance. As the K-pop idol attempted to open the store windows, he realized they would not open. Instead, the singer turned his attention outside. V waved to ARMYs who had gathered nearby to see him.

The moment quickly circulated online. Many viewers also commented on the 29-year-old's look at the event. Photos from the venue spread quickly online. He was styled in a purple knit layered over a blue shirt. A black cardigan completed the look. V also wore CELINE’s Les Perles Medal Necklace, which is now sold instantly. The piece featured resin pearls paired with brass elements.

"A PRINCE," an X user commented.

V was not the only CELINE ambassador present at the event. The December 17 gathering also included fellow brand representatives Suzy, Park Bo-gum, and TWS.

Admirers keep praising the Bangtan Boy's behavior. Supporters noted that he acknowledged fans waiting in cold weather just to catch a brief glimpse. They said the interaction reflected his appreciation for fan support. Others highlighted that Taehyung consistently recognizes the effort fans make to see him, even during short public appearances.

BTS’ Taehyung’s CELINE appearances this year

Kim Taehyung’s CELINE appearances this year stayed focused around Paris Fashion Week and brand duties. His debut moment came in July at the Printemps 2026 presentation on July 6. That appearance marked his first public schedule since finishing military duty in June.

The artist arrived in a custom grey jacket with red and black geometric embroidery. It was paired with matching grey trousers and layered gold necklaces. He later headlined CELINE’s Ete 2026 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in October. The Winter Bear singer attended in a sophisticated brown-toned look featuring a long brown knee-length coat (by Michael Rider).

The ensemble was matched with trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a standout leopard-print tie, creating an elegant autumn-inspired outfit. Later that evening, he attended the official CELINE after-party. This time, he switched outfits, opting for a separate fit from the runway appearance.
