The romance between Jennie (BLACKPINK) and V (BTS) is considered one of the most shocking relationships in Kpop.
Recently, Jennie ( BLACKPINK ) became the center of attention when she shared the stage with the band Tame Impala, performing their hit song ” Dracula” live for the first time in front of tens of thousands of fans. She wore a rare vintage design from the renowned fashion house Betsey Johnson, launched in 1999, inspired by a seductive lace nightgown. At this time, many fans suddenly noticed a strange mark on the singer’s foot. Many thought it was a tattoo. Upon closer inspection, viewers realized it was a faint image of the angel Cupid.
Immediately, many fans linked the rumored romance between Jennie and V (BTS) to the speculation, as V had recently posted a picture of a Cupid statue on his personal Instagram. This sparked controversy about the couple secretly reuniting after their breakup at the end of 2023. Since then, Jennie and V have been constantly scrutinized, and netizens have speculated that they may have reunited.
However, many fans have also spoken out to refute this “love mark.” In reality, Jennie only applied the image to her leg and didn’t actually get a real tattoo. In the practice video before the performance, Jennie’s leg was completely bare. Furthermore, V posted a picture of an angel statue taken on the streets of France, which is not a personal item of his. Therefore, interpreting the “Cupid angel” as a sign of love between V and Jennie seems far-fetched.
These are purely speculative opinions from netizens, but they have once again reignited the already tumultuous love life of the BLACKPINK rapper. Despite this, netizens continue to discuss the relationship status of this once-hot idol couple.
Jennie’s career and personal life have always been two contrasting extremes, attracting significant global public attention. Before V (BTS), Jennie dated Kai (EXO) and G-Dragon. Later, Jennie and V’s relationship was considered one of the most sensational romances in K-pop. This relationship had a tumultuous beginning, starting with photos taken on Jeju Island in 2022, followed by a series of leaked private photos from the singer’s phone.
In May 2023, a video of the couple holding hands while strolling along the Seine River in Paris almost confirmed their relationship, although neither management company ever directly commented. However, by the end of 2023, Korean media outlets reported that the couple had broken up before V enlisted in the military. Although they have now gone their separate ways, even the smallest coincidences in their style or actions continue to spark speculation among fans.
After V’s discharge from the military, rumors of him reuniting with Jennie intensified. Specifically, one day before V’s official discharge (June 10, 2025), Jennie – who had stopped posting on Instagram for a long time – suddenly appeared, sharing a series of new photos promoting the “Seoul City” music video. Notably, “Seoul City” is a song about passionate and romantic love, with details reminiscent of Jennie’s rumored boyfriend, V. This speculation stems from the phrase “Mr. General” appearing in the lyrics, leading fans to associate it with V – who served in the military as an officer.
Regarding V, after his discharge from the military, the idol posted a picture showing that he received a celebratory cake with the message “I’m happy to be with you.” According to netizens, this cake was definitely not from V’s family, but must have come from someone with a very special relationship with the BTS member. Later, some netizens discovered that the cake was from the same bakery where Jennie had also ordered a birthday cake for her best friend.
On the Nate forum, netizens also noticed that V and Jennie both use the same brand of keychain for their bags. In July 2025, the BTS member was seen wearing headphones from the brand that had collaborated with Jennie at the airport. Furthermore, V draped a scarf over his bag. This scarf is said to be quite similar to the one Jennie wore when returning to Korea from Coachella this year. Most recently, V also carried a bear-shaped bag similar to Jennie’s.
The coincidences and cryptic messages in each of the couple’s posts have sparked speculation that V and Jennie have reunited and are subtly revealing their relationship to the public. Currently, every move of these two popular K-pop idols is causing a stir on social media.
On September 16, 2025, Jennie and V, whether by coincidence or design, both attended rapper Tyler’s concert in Seoul, South Korea. Both top idols posted photos of themselves with Tyler backstage, showing off the shirts they received as gifts from their colleagues on social media. They made no secret of their shared appearance at the same music event.
