Dating rumours involving BTS members always create a buzz and this time, it’s Jhope in the spotlight. Recent social media speculation suggests that the rapper-dancer might be in a relationship with TWICE’s Nayeon. A viral TikTok post, which has already gained 400,000 views, compiled alleged ‘proof’ connecting the two idols.
Fans have pointed out multiple instances where Jhope and Nayeon appeared to be in the same locations. It all started in 2022 when they reportedly visited the same restaurant for an event around the same time. Since then, keen-eyed netizens have linked several of their posts, noting similar backgrounds in photos from 2023 and 2024.
The latest so-called ‘proof’ comes from January 2025, where both stars shared pictures online in couple-like poses—although taken at different places. Whether these coincidences indicate a romantic connection or just happenstance remains a matter of debate.
I wanna say something. I saw some armies were asking if Jhope is dating nayeon in live yesterday. Don't do these things . It will make him uncomfortable. Remember he has a life behind the camera . And if he wants to share he will . So until he says something don't spread rumors.

While fans continue to discuss these rumours, Jhope is busy preparing for his upcoming solo activities. The BTS star is set to perform at Lollapalooza Berlin 2025, sharing the stage with major artists like IVE, Justin Timberlake and Gracie Abrams. The festival will be held on July 12-13 at Berlin’s Olympic Park and Stadium. In addition, Jhope’s solo tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, will begin in Seoul on February 28, 2025, with stops planned across Asia and North America.
Meanwhile, Nayeon has also been making waves in her career. She released her second solo album in June last year, followed by TWICE’s 14th mini album. The group is now set to appear as special guests at Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres concerts in Seoul. They will perform at Goyang Stadium for six shows from April 16 to 25, 2025.
This is not the first time BTS members have been linked to dating rumours. In October 2023, RM directly addressed such speculation, clarifying that he was not in a relationship. Similarly, BTS V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie have long been rumoured to be together, especially after a video allegedly showing them holding hands in Paris went viral in May 2023. Despite ongoing fan theories, neither artist’s agency has confirmed the rumours.
