A French photographer who filmed BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie on their alleged Paris date, shared the backstory of the clip. Read on!
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.
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.
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.
Ending the backstory, Amar Taoualit revealed that many Korean media outlets reached out to him for the video, but he decided to share it on his social media handles instead.
Needless to say, the video instantly went viral, further fueling V and Jennie’s dating rumor. However, neither BTS’ nor BLACKPINK’s agency confirmed the clip from the rumored couple’s alleged Paris date.
