Dating rumours have never been unusual when it comes to BTS and in recent years, such speculation has only intensified, often fuelled by alleged 'proof' that circulates rapidly across social media. Among the members, Jungkook and V have frequently found themselves at the centre of dating buzz, with fans and netizens repeatedly dissecting photos and interactions for hidden meanings. However, a recent image has sparked an entirely new wave of 'dating rumours' involving the two idols—but this time, hilariously, with each other.
The playful speculation began after Jhope shared a fresh set of photos on January 29. While fans were quick to notice snapshots featuring multiple BTS members, one particular picture grabbed widespread attention. The image showed Jungkook and V wearing matching jackets from Jhope’s recent clothing collaboration and holding hands, a moment that instantly sent social media into a frenzy and prompted a flood of amused and light-hearted reactions from fans.
As is often the case with idol dating rumours, something as simple as matching outfits can be enough to set speculation in motion. This time, netizens jokingly ran with the idea that Jhope had unintentionally 'exposed' a secret relationship between Jungkook and V by posting the photo. The playful narrative quickly caught on, with ARMYs flooding social media with memes, jokes and laughing reactions, clearly taking the moment in good humour and enjoying the light-hearted chaos sparked by the image.

BTS' World Tour
BTS are officially back, and the excitement is already off the charts—even before the album’s release. Their upcoming comeback album, ARIRANG, has made history by crossing four million pre-orders in just seven days, signalling one of the biggest global music comebacks in recent years. According to album distributor YG Plus, ARIRANG recorded 4.06 million pre-orders as of January 22, just a week after pre-bookings opened on January 16.
The 2026–2027 BTS world tour will kick off on April 9 with a three-night opening run in Goyang, South Korea, before moving on to Tokyo and then North America. The group will perform in Tampa on April 25 and 26, with the North American leg running through September 6 and featuring multi-night stadium shows in major cities such as Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles. The tour will continue across Latin America, Australia and Asia in late 2026 and early 2027.
