After officially completing his military service in June 2025, V quickly returned to a series of personal activities, showing his energetic spirit and strong determination to solidify his name in both the entertainment and fashion industries.
The Celine Printemps 2026 fashion show, held on July 6, 2025, is considered his first public appearance marking his return after military discharge. Although he did not walk the runway, V became the center of global media attention, captivating fans worldwide with his undiminished influence as a top K-pop star.
While fans have seen him appearing more frequently in public events during this period, he has also mentioned several times that he is preparing for some musical or important upcoming projects. In particular, fans recently noticed that the idol subtly teased some details from a new project by sharing mysterious yet captivating images on social media.
V thrilled the ARMY community by posting close-up shots of the outfits he will be wearing for an upcoming project. Though he didn’t reveal the full looks, he cleverly shared glimpses of collar lines, sleeves, and fabric textures, adding to the anticipation and excitement.
On the other hand, eagle-eyed fans quickly recognized that these details came from Celine’s Spring/Summer 2026 (SS26) collection—a line recently showcased that garnered much attention in the fashion world. From silhouettes and patterns to materials, the pieces V revealed matched the latest Celine designs, further fueling speculation that he is collaborating with the luxury brand for an upcoming project.
In the past, V has often done this with the mindset that fans would enjoy a little sneak peek of what’s coming. He even once admitted that he would “go against” his company’s wishes when they told him not to spoil anything before it aired.
However, his choice to tease details through partial images not only reflects his refined artistic sensibility but also reveals a clever and effective media strategy—drawing early buzz and discussion from the public.
On online platforms, some fans speculate that he might be doing a shoot for the brand as its ambαѕѕador. They believe that once the full photos are released, CELINE’s “living muse” will once again make waves in the fashion world.
Meanwhile, other fans suspect that V may be preparing for his next single or solo album, with the possibility that he will be wearing CELINE in the music video or promotional photobook.
There are also other theories—such as a fashion magazine cover shoot or interview—but overall, just a few teaser photos from V have already sparked lively discussion threads online:
