A French photographer who filmed BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie on their alleged Paris date, shared the backstory of the clip. Read on!
Back in 2023, BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s dating rumors were fueled by their alleged secret date in Paris. In particular, a clip from their alleged romantic stroll in the city went viral online, where the rumored K-pop couple was allegedly seen hand-in-hand by the River Seine. Now, a French photographer who claimed to have filmed the clip revealed the story behind it.
Recently, French photographer Amar Taoualit appeared in a podcast on Sabo Production’s YouTube channel, where he shared the backstory of V and Jennie’s alleged Paris date video.
He explained that he usually photographs American celebrities but when his friend, a huge K-pop fan, shared a tip about V and Jennie’s Paris vacation, he had to look into it. To capture the clip that later went viral, the pap waited outside a club in Champs-Élysées for two hours before he saw two people leaving hand-in-hand.
He immediately sent the pic to his informer friend who commented it was noteworthy. To get better a footage, he grabbed a bike and decided to follow them. Amar revealed that he lost sight of them briefly, but shortly after, spotted the rumored K-pop couple near the docks.
The duo passed by him and even took a photo near the Eiffel Tower. But soon, they noticed the photographer and he had to stop filming. He revealed that even security approached him later but decided to let him go as he didn’t pose a threat.
The French pap further shared that he continued to follow V and Jennie along the docks of the River Seine. As he noticed increased security, he had to film the footage discretely, said Amar. He then elaborated that he managed to film a 1-minute 30-second long clip and confirmed the K-pop idols’ identities with a passerby who recognized them.
