BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie: Dating Relationship Rumors Continue

BTS pride vocalist and visual Kim Taehyung, commonly famous by stage name V, recently caught in more dating relationship rumors with BLACKPINK rapper Jennie Kim. The stories have been circulating for almost a year, and there has been no official confirmation or denial regarding their close relationship.

The dating relationship rumors all started a year ago when reporters claimed to have seen BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie spending time together in Jeju. Then, a viral Twitter user with the name Gurumiharibo allegedly hacked Jennie’s cloud storage and leaked its contents. Among the photos the user shared were of BTS V and Jennie allegedly having an adorable couple trip in Jeju.

Due to these photos, netizens began paying more attention to the details when V and Jennie posted some pictures. Therefore, the public started realizing that parts of their photo’s details were too similar, including the ones taken in New York.

And finally, a Paris-based photographer Amar Taoualit reportedly caught BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie on a romantic date in Paris on May 17. They spent time together holding hands while walking along the streets of Paris.

Unfortunately, the security/managers did not allow the photographer to photograph them up close. Therefore, the photographer decided to take pictures of them from afar.

Are BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie Really in a Dating Relationship?

Finally, due to this vague answer regarding their Paris footage, the public began questioning whether BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie were in a dating relationship.

After all, on many previous occasions, both HYBE and YG Entertainment are famous for responding to rumors fast and precisely.

For example, in the case of RM and Jungkook’s dating rumors, HYBE (BIGHIT) responded strongly and stated they would even take legal action against the OP.

At the same time, BLACKPINK Rosé and actor Kang Dong Won recently faced dating rumors last month. And even though it took some time for the agency to check the issue, they finally released an official statement and denied the rumors.

Meanwhile, neither of the agencies provided clear answers about V and Jennie. Both agencies neither confirm nor deny the couple’s dating allegations. Instead, both agencies repeatedly stated that it was difficult to respond because it’s the idols’ private domains.

And finally, unlike their usual statements, YG Entertainment simply declared to take legal actions against “the leak of Jennie’s photos” and invasion of privacy. They did not mention anything about going against those who had spread the rumors.

Was It Possibly a Publicity Stunt from the Agencies?

Still, while many fans hope and assume that BTS V and BLACKPINK Jennie are in a dating relationship due to the agencies’ silence, others think otherwise.

While some people believe that the agencies remain silent on purpose to maintain the hype of this dating rumor, others question whether the man with Jennie was really Kim Taehyung. After all, while Jennie’s face was clearly visible in most of the photos, BTS V’s face was mostly blurred or covered with a mask.

Therefore, some fans believed that it was only a publicity stunt using a look-alike who cosplayed V.
