Park, who left with the two K-pop stars, is known to be one of V's best friends. The two have been spotted hanging out in various locations over the past few years since they reportedly developed a friendship in 2015 after meeting on a music show.

K-pop fans in Paris have been fervently welcoming the singers and K-drama actor, sharing video clips of sightings of the stars on social media.

The three were also greeted by cheers when they arrived at the Palais de Tokyo, a modern art gallery in Paris, to attend Celine's fashion show. Donning a striking red jacket, V waved at the crowd of people congregated at the venue to see him. The K-pop sensation has been sharing his days in Paris with his fans via social media.
