Normally, the world of K-Pop and K-Dramas can seem worlds apart. Yet, one event earlier in the year completely changed that when actor Park Bo Gum, BTS‘s V, and BLACKPINK’s Lisa all came together to attend the CELINE show for Paris Fashion Week back in June.
Throughout their time there, the three Korean stars shut down any potential fan wars with their iconic interactions at the event itself. Whether it was dancing along to songs or taking care of each other, Park Bo Gum, Lisa, and V all stole the hearts of netizens.
Along with the interactions, it was reported that all three stars traveled in style on a private jet that was organized by CELINE. On Instagram, V and Lisa proved that they were truly living a life of luxury by showcasing their transport.
Yet, it seems like not everything was as simple as expected, especially on their return flight to Korea and it has gained attention from netizens. The story of V, LISA and Bogum attending CELINE's fashion week ended at the end of June. However, the special stories behind the scenes are still being told to the present.
While attending a Korean TV show, Park Bogum told about the incident they encountered on a private flight and that explained the misunderstanding that the press wrote that V did not greet fans. In general, when it comes to personality, no one can give a negative review of V!
Back in late June when V caused a stir on Twitter and online newspapers with an appearance in Paris France to attend the fashion week of the high-end brand CELINE. During the trip, in addition to V, there were also appearances of LISA and Park Bogum.
CELINE also used a private jet to accompany artists to France. All 3 had great experiences as well as left a strong impression while in France. However, when the 3 returned to Korea, there were some negative rumors from the tabloids towards V.
Specifically, the crowd including reporters and fans were waiting for the artists at the airport. Although it was announced that they would enter Gimpo International Airport, Seoul at around 8:55 a.m., the stars didn't land until 12:20 a.m. due to flight delays.
By this time, the crowd became chaotic and chased after the idols to take pictures and of course, security also became looser and more difficult to control. Then, some tabloids reported that V was disappointing when he had a nonchalant attitude, rushing to get in the car and leave the airport lobby despite fans and reporters desperately calling his name.
This has had a negative effect on his reputation. V even later posted and explained his attitude at the airport!
But the truth behind that surprised many people and did not think that V had to go through such things. Recently, the production team of the new Variety show starring Park Bogum revealed the story of his "stormy" flight, Lisa and V when returning to Korea.
Park Bogum explained that the plane had difficulty landing due to high winds and turbulence that delayed the landing. That's why all 3 artists entered late and the crowd became chaotic after all 3 artists arrived.
Because security at the airport could not be ensured, Big Hit's staff quickly secured V to get in the car and leave for the next schedule. The crowd even chased and caused many adverse situations at the airport despite the rain. So there was absolutely nothing wrong with V leaving and fortunately the plane ended up having no serious problems.
Many ARMYs left comments below after learning about this incident:
- I’m so glad they landed safely! And our Tae was so tired and definitely was worried … everyone was so quick to judge that he didn’t stay for photos etc at the airport.
- he’s the kindest always
- the bash he gets without knowing the facts first. he was able to wave when he’s already inside the car and apologized immediately on WeVerse even if he don’t need to
- Thank god they landed safely
- omg im glad they landed safely
- that's scary, thankfully they land safely
- Thank God
- oh my thanks god they landed safely
- It must have been bad for them to arrive hours late ? So thankful they landed safel
- Flights lands almost 2.30 hours late. And the situation is worst
- Omg, that's scary! Glad it worked out and this just makes me even more upset about people judging him for not staying to take pics. He's exhausted, probably stressed, and just wanted to go home.
- Omg after so long knowing this... I'm so grateful that Bogumie and Tae have arrived safely in Korea.
