Is BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie's Paris date rumor spreader striking again?, fans criticize 'sasaeng behavior'
BTS' V and Jennie's alleged Paris date photo leaker hints at exposing them again
The alleged date pictures leaker of the artists is a Paris-based photographer named Amar Taoualit. Back in 2022, he shared some low-quality images of two individuals holding hands and walking on the streets of the French capital, claiming them to be V and Jennie. It generated immense buzz online, resulting in massive backlash for the K-pop idols.
Their fandom ARMY and BLINK broke into a fan war, and their agencies tried to control the situation with neutral stances on their dating speculations. Recently, Amar Taoualit shared glimpses of the BTS member from his 2025 Paris visit. V was in the city a few days ago to attend the Celine show of Paris Fashion Week.
It seemed like normal paparazzi content, until a comment caught fans' eyes. A fan wrote "please catch him with Jennie again", to which he replied, "We try to work on it next time don't worry." It didn't sit right with fans, who accused him of trying to invade their privacy once again.
Fans criticize photographer for probing to expose V and Jennie again
The 2022 Paris photo leaker's latest remark on being open to expose the K-pop stars once again if gotten a chance, received backlash from fans. They claimed it to be "sasaeng [obsessive fan] behaviour" and believed he should be punished for the same. According to them, it was an open announcement of future attempts to invade public figures' privacy.
They wanted him to get sued for such a disrespectful remark. Some fans even shared a Google doc titled "V stalking report" and asked all fans to fill it. They also intend to mail BTS' agency HYBE LABELS, asking them to take swift action against the photographer and protect their artist from stalkers.

Head Over Heels episode 8 release date and time: Can Gyeon Woo's deal with the evil spirit rattle his bond with Seong Ah?
Head Over Heels episode 8 release date and time: Head Over Heels continues to keep fans hooked, and with episode 8 just around the corner, fans are eager to see what's next. This romantic fantasy K-drama has been steadily gaining attention thanks to its refreshing concept, supernatural mystery, and the chemistry between the leads, played by Choo Young Woo and Choi Yu Hyun. With each week bringing new twists, the anticipation for the next episode is higher than ever. The last few episodes have especially drawn praise for blending emotions with fantasy, and if the previews are any indication, episode 8 is going to deliver even more. About Head Over Heels Head Over Heels tells the story of Park Seong Ah, a seemingly timid high school student who's actually a shaman, one of the last of her kind, operating under the alias Fairy Cheon Ji. Her life changes dramatically when Bae Gyeon Woo, a mysterious transfer student, arrives at school carrying a deadly curse. As fate would have it, Gyeon Woo is destined to die young, but Seong Ah, who falls for his good looks and kind heart, refuses to let that happen. She becomes his human talisman, both spiritually and emotionally bound to him, in an attempt to change his future. What makes the show stand out is how it blends folklore with coming-of-age themes. Beneath all the ghostly possessions and shaman rituals is a story about first love and emotional healing. As the connection between Seong Ah and Gyeon Woo blooms, the show explores whether love alone is powerful enough to overcome fate or whether destiny will have the last dance. Head Over Heels episode 7 recap Episode 7 of the tvN drama dialled up the intensity with one of the most dramatic turns yet. It began with Gyeon Woo being possessed by a malicious spirit after entering a haunted space to save Seong Ah. Though he tries to fight the possession, it's only when Seong Ah physically ties herself to him, quite literally, that the spirit's control weakens. In the process of saving him, Seong Ah also ends up confessing that she must do everything in her power to save Gyen Woo, as he is her first love. As the night unfolds, the tension grows as the spirit tries to move beyond the reach of Seong Ah, but despite the emotional turmoil, there are still sparks of playfulness between them. But the true twist comes when Gyeon Woo, in a surprising move, makes a deal with Bong-su: he'll allow the spirit to temporarily inhabit his body during school hours in exchange for help in the upcoming archery contest. This pact doesn't come without a price, and it clearly rattles Seong Ah. Meanwhile, in another plot twist no one saw coming, by the end of the episode, Gyeon Woo finally breaks through the walls he's built and confesses how much Seong Ah means to him. What to expect from Head Over Heels episode 8? Head Over Heels episode 8 is expected to explore the emotional fallout from Gyeon Woo's decision to let the spirit stay in his body, and will Seong Ah be able to save Gyeon Woo on the 21st day, which in a way also lifts his misfortune? However, Seong Ah, carrying the weight of protecting him, may struggle with the idea that he's risking himself even more. Their bond, now cemented by both emotional confession and physical proximity, is likely to be tested. Will she trust his judgement, or will her fear for his safety drive a wedge between them? Another thread that seems ready to unravel is the mysterious backstory involving Spirit Mother and Yeom Hwa. There have been subtle clues throughout the series suggesting that Yeom Hwa's motives go beyond simple chaos, and episode 8 may finally answer those questions. Ji Ho, meanwhile, appears to be reaching a boiling point with his unspoken jealousy. His feelings toward Seong Ah, while never fully voiced, are becoming harder to ignore as he watches her grow closer to Gyeon Woo. Head Over Heels episode 8: When and where to watch Episode 8 of Head Over Heels is scheduled to release on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 8:50 PM KST on tvN in South Korea.

This Bizarre Phone Case Feels Like Human Skin And Can Get Sunburned
A UK-based company has unveiled a bizarre, flesh-looking mobile phone case that looks, feels and even reacts to sunlight like human skin. According to the New York Post, French researcher Marc Teyssier partnered with Virgin Media O2 to create the Skincase. The mobile cover is a synthetic accessory designed to change colour when exposed to ultraviolet light, mimicking the effects of sunburn. The project was inspired by research showing staggering gaps between how frequently people check their phones during peak UV hours and how rarely they reapply sunscreen with similar consistency. "My work often seeks to bridge the gap between our digital lives and our physical well-being. The Skincase is a prime example of how technology can be harnessed to promote health awareness and encourage positive behavioural change," Mr Teyssier said in a press release. Although the skin case looks creepy and lifelike, Mr Teyssier insisted that it is synthetic. According to the Post, it was engineered using silicone combined with UV-reactive compounds to realistically replicate the texture and behaviour of human skin. ☀️ Say hello to the Skincase – the phone case that burns (yes, really) when exposed to UV rays 🔥📱 Crafted with @marcteyssier & backed by @britishskinfndn, it mimics human skin to remind you to reapply sunscreen 👀 Stay safe. Stay connected. Stay sun smart. 📍 Roam freely up… — Virgin Media O2 News (@VMO2News) July 8, 2025 The French researcher also used 3D printing and hand-sculpting techniques, and individually carved wrinkles into the engineered epidermis. The Skincase has been created in three different skin tones, and each reacts to UV rays by changing colours, just like the real thing, per the outlet. "With mobiles being such an essential part of everyday life, especially on holiday according to our new research, we've created the Skincase to demonstrate in real time just how severe the effects of sunburn can be while also promoting sun safety among holidaymakers," Chris Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2, said. Skincase is still a prototype and isn't for sale quite yet. Notably, Mr Teyssier is not new to working with synthetic skin technologies. Previously, he created an artificial skin that adheres to cell phones. In 2019, he introduced the tech to the world, saying that he simply wanted to "pinch (his) phone, so he created a mobile accessory that could feel human touch and even reciprocate the sensation as a means of comfort.
