BTS is one of the biggest Kpop boy bands in the world, with a massive global fanbase known as ARMY. While the group is best known for its chart-topping music, sold-out world tours and powerful performances, fans have always shown strong interest in the members’ personal lives especially their dating history. Although BTS members have largely kept their relationships private, several dating rumours have surfaced over the years. Some were sparked by public sightings, collaborations or fan theories, while others gained attention through paparazzi photos. Here’s a look at the rumoured relationships BTS members have been linked to in the past.

V And BLACKPINK’s Jennie
BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie were among the most talked-about celebrity pairing rumours. In 2023, speculation began after the two were reportedly spotted riding together in a car on Jeju Island. Later, paparazzi reports also claimed they were seen together in Paris. Despite the buzz, neither V nor Jennie, nor their respective agencies, ever confirmed the relationship. The rumours eventually faded, but the pairing remains one of the most discussed in K-pop circles.

RM And aespa’s Karina
RM was rumoured to be dating aespa member Karina in November 2023. While some fans dismissed the speculation as baseless, others were excited by the possibility. However, the rumours did not last long. More recently, Karina made headlines again in March after reports linked her to actor Lee Jae Wook. Once again, no official confirmation was made regarding RM and Karina.

SUGA And Suran
SUGA and singer Suran worked together on the song titled "Wine" in 2017. Following their successful collaboration, fans began speculating that the two might be romantically involved. However, SUGA reportedly addressed the rumours in an interview, explaining that both artists were extremely busy and found it difficult to even make time for their families, let alone date.
