Korean Netizens React To BLACKPINK’s Jennie And BTS V’s Alleged Date Video

The video clips have since gone viral.

On May 17, several videos allegedly depicting BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS‘s V on a date went viral.

The videos were allegedly captured by a Paris-based photographer named Amar Taoualit. In the videos, a couple can be seen enjoying a nighttime stroll while holding hands, followed by what appears to be their managers.

Other photos from the same night showed that the couple indeed looked very similar to V and Jennie. The new videos and photos seem to confirm long-believed speculation on whether the K-Pop icons were dating. The video clips have since gone viral in Korean online communities, where netizens overwhelmingly congratulated the couple.

• “I really like the fact that Jennie seems to only meet people that she matches well with.”
• “Wow… They are walking holding hands?”
• “They look so good together. They’re so cute.”
• “Wow, they should just come out with their relationship. Go-go!”
• “Fans might be disappointed, but I hope V and Jennie have a loving relationship.”
• “Both idols have been in the industry for a long time, so who cares if they are dating? They both reached the top.”
• “Wow, it seems they are still going strong… Both of them are at the top (of their industries) and are colleagues who are going for a night stroll by the Eifel Tower after finishing their schedules… It’s seriously like a couple in a movie, ㅠㅠ. I’m so jealous of Jennie’s life.”
• “Jennie’s walk is so cute.”
• “But I kind of feel bad for them that they were spotted by paparazzi overseas… There really isn’t a place on this earth where they can date freely.”
• “They are going strong.”
• “Have a loving relationship~<3.”

HYBE and YG Entertainment have yet to make a statement about the new video.
