Meet Amar Taoualit, the French photographer behind the viral clip of BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie. Recently, Amar shared his story on Sabo Production’s YouTube podcast, shedding light on how he captured the now-iconic footage. The adventure began when a K-pop enthusiast tipped him about V and Jennie’s secret Paris getaway. Curious and eager to investigate, Amar decided to stake out a club on the Champs-Élysées, hoping to spot the rumoured couple. After waiting for two hours, his patience paid off when he saw two figures leaving the club hand in hand. Determined to get the scoop, Amar hopped on a bike and followed them through Paris. Although he briefly lost sight of them, he soon found the duo near the River Seine. As V and Jennie enjoyed a romantic stroll along the docks, Amar discreetly filmed them, even catching a moment near the Eiffel Tower. BTS V aka Kim Taehyung Shirtless Photos and Videos: K-Pop Idol’s Thirst Traps Will Make Every ARMY Member Say ‘We Purple You’.

However, the operation wasn’t without its challenges. Once the pair realised they were being filmed, Amar had to stop. He also faced a brief encounter with security, who eventually deemed him harmless. Despite the obstacles, Amar managed to capture a 1-minute 30-second clip that confirmed the K-pop stars' identities, thanks to a passerby who recognised them.

As previously mentioned, rumours can ignite or fizzle out depending on the day. In the case of V and Jennie’s Paris escapade, neither BTS’ BIGHIT MUSIC nor BLACKPINK’s YG Entertainment has confirmed the authenticity of the clip or the alleged relationship. The French photographer’s disclosure has added fuel to the speculation, but the debate over the privacy of K-pop idols continues. The clip’s impact remains a topic of discussion as the search for the truth goes on.
