Because Kim Taehyung (V) can’t even go clubbing in peace.
Fresh off slaying Paris Fashion Week for CELINE, Taehyung decided to live a little and hit up L’ARC nightclub in Paris with his bestie, actor Park Bo Gum, because yes, kings deserve to breathe and have fun too. And, of course, the second they walked in, the entire internet decided it was their business.
Clips quickly started circulating of V and Park Bo Gum at the club, vibing and enjoying the night, proving once again that Taehyung’s duality is unmatched—gracing high-fashion front rows one minute and chilling at a club in an oversized black jacket the next.
And let’s be real, if you expected Taehyung to awkwardly sit in a corner, you clearly don’t know him. According to fans at the venue, V was seen enjoying the music, greeting people politely, and looking effortlessly cool (because what else would he look like?).
Park Bo Gum, ever the loyal bestie, was right by his side, the two sharing quiet conversations between beats, reminding everyone how wholesome their friendship is even in the middle of a loud Parisian club.
But, as expected, the internet had opinions. Some people tried to create drama out of thin air, questioning why idols “need” to go clubbing. Meanwhile, ARMYs and Park Bo Gum’s fans collectively rolled their eyes, defending their right to exist as young adults who can enjoy a night out after working nonstop.
Because let’s be honest, V has been serving visuals, fashion, fan service, and artistry for years while balancing the demands of being a global superstar. If he wants to dance to some beats in a club in Paris, that is his business, and he deserves it without judgment.
Also, for those forgetting: BTS has repeatedly said they want to live like humans, not robots on display. V going clubbing doesn’t diminish his artistry or his love for ARMY; it just proves he’s a 28-year-old man who knows how to balance work and life while looking like a runway model under neon lights.
The best part? Taehyung didn’t need to post about it or make it an aesthetic moment for social media. He went, had his fun, minded his business, and left, with no drama attached—unless you count the drama people tried to create from behind their screens.
So here’s your reminder: V can go to Paris Fashion Week, turn it into his runway, hit a club after, and still be the same Taehyung who gives us healing music, soulful vocals, and soft smiles during lives. It’s called having a life, and he’s earned it.
We love to see V living freely, laughing with friends, and reminding everyone that BTS doesn’t just lead the industry with their music; they lead it by showing what living authentically looks like.
Cheers to Taehyung and Park Bo Gum for enjoying Paris, and may every beat they dance to be a reminder that happiness is not a crime.
