From 2015 to 2025: BTS V and Park Bo-gum's unbreakable friendship over the years
They've stood side by side through career highs, public scrutiny, military service, and personal growth. In an industry where relationships often flicker and fade, their bond has endured, becoming a symbol of unwavering loyalty and mutual respect.
From fashion runways to Paris nights
On July 3, Taehyung landed in Paris ahead of the CELINE show at Paris Fashion Week, sending fans into a frenzy as crowds flooded the airport to welcome him. But what followed was even more electric.
That same evening, V was the guest of honour at a private celebration at Club Larc, and the energy was palpable. Music pulsed through the venue as videos showed him dancing atop an elevated platform, fully in his element.

Dressed head-to-toe in CELINE - a black leather jacket, crisp white tee, blue denim, and sleek sunglasses - Taehyung didn't just arrive; he owned the night. He lit sparklers, danced with staff holding a sparkling sign that read "Welcome to Paris, V," and laughed freely among the crowd, radiating joy and charisma.
BTS V and Park Bo-gum reunion
But the most unforgettable moment of the night? Park Bo-gum's unannounced arrival. The room buzzed as the two reunited, later spotted leaving together, with V walking close, his arm affectionately draped around Bo-gum's shoulder. It wasn't just a feel-good moment - it was a visual reminder of a ten-year bond that's only grown stronger with time.

This wasn't their first shared spotlight. Last year, the duo turned heads when they arrived side by side at a CELINE event, their presence echoing an unspoken promise: in a world of shifting fame and fleeting connections, some friendships only deepen.
More on the powerhouse duo
Taehyung's Paris appearance is just one of many recent highlights in his dazzling solo journey. A top-tier brand ambassador, he continues to dominate both fashion and music, recently topping brand rankings over fellow idols from SEVENTEEN and BLACKPINK. With BTS officially reuniting and a new album on the horizon in 2026, V's momentum shows no sign of slowing.
Meanwhile, Park Bo-gum has been making waves on the acting front. After the emotional success of When Life Gives You Tangerines, he wowed fans again in the action-packed K-drama Good Boy, drawing praise for his versatility and magnetic screen presence.
As both stars rise higher in their respective fields, one thing is clear—their friendship remains a constant, steady heartbeat behind all the glamour and success.
