Since V departed for Paris on July 4, every move he has made has attracted widespread attention from global media and fans alike. His attendance at Celine’s Spring 2026 Collection fashion show in France marked his first official schedule since completing his mandatory military service on June 10.

In the photos circulating widely on social media, V has been praised for his effortlessly elegant style, dressed in signature CELINE pieces — including a gray sweater with red and black embroidery or a classic white shirt. He also showed off his sculpted, athletic physique, a testament to his time serving in the elite SDT military unit.

In addition, V’s interactions with other celebrities have become a major topic among fans. Photos of V seated next to Park Bo-gum and Suzy, sharing humorous expressions and comfortable chemistry like real siblings, were met with an overwhelmingly positive response.

One of the biggest highlights, however, was when Sydney Toledano, the Chairman of LVMH (Celine’s parent company), personally greeted V, igniting excitement among fans and the media. Similarly, a moment captured between V and Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, engaged in friendly conversation, became a viral sensation.

Even after the Celine event ended, V remained in France — and continued to make waves with his bold new look. Recently, fans spotted the BTS member walking the streets of Paris, and shared photos online.

In these images, V can be seen with a slit in his eyebrow and green highlights in his hair, giving him an edgier, more daring and free-spirited appearance. Fans were quick to praise the transformation, calling it a refreshing and striking change.

Not only were fans intrigued by his bold look, but many also began to speculate about what the transformation might signify. Theories ranging from a fashion editorial shoot to a new music project quickly surfaced.

Meanwhile, ARMYs recalled that during a previous livestream, V had teased a major project he was preparing and said it would be revealed soon. Many believe that his current appearance is tied to that announcement, sparking even more excitement and anticipation in the fandom:
