K-pop stars cause a moment of collective hysteria around the Celine fashion show in Paris

Avenue du President Wilson, avenue de New York and even rue de la Manutention... all the roads surrounding the Palais de Tokyo in the 16th arrondissement of Paris were full of people this Sunday, June 26.

At 9:30 p.m., the Celine house gave its spring-summer 2023 men's show. Catching a glimpse of Hedi Slimane's latest silhouettes was not the only motivation for this crowd.

The reason for the crush can be summed up in a few letters: Park Bo Gum, V and Lisa.

Their names may not tell you anything, but these three Korean music stars, K-pop, are at the head of almost 2, 48 and 78 million followers respectively on Instagram.

Along with Suzanne Lindon, Vincent Lacoste, BTS member V Jeremy Scott and Blackpink member Park Bo Gum and Lisa were among the celeb guests at the Celine show.

"Security !"

At the Celine show, it was rumored that some fans had slept on the forecourt of the Palais de Tokyo the night before, to have a chance to approach their idols.

The barricades struggled to contain the public, who received instructions launched by megaphone.

“The theme of the evening is: Se-cu-ri-ty!”

made a member of the organization repeat to the young groupies who encroached dangerously on the avenue.

It will be necessary to wait the last three minutes before the first silhouette advances on the podium, once the show room is full, to see the Korean stars arrive, by the exterior steps of the building.

Contagious, the frenzy of the crowd spreads inside the parade where the guests get up to immortalize the scene.

Including Bernard Arnault, CEO of the LVMH group.

V, Lisa and Park Bo Gum enter.

The show ends for thousands of fans, when for a handful of guests, it has only just begun.
