Last year, there was a lot of buzz and speculation surrounding a possible romantic relationship between BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, and Blackpink's Jennie Kim. The dating rumours gained significant attention when three private pictures of the alleged couple were leaked online. A Twitter account claimed that the pictures confirmed their relationship, leading to a frenzy among shippers of the couple.

However, the Twitter account, which claimed to have an alleged picture showing the 'Winter Bear' singer kissing Jennie Kim on the forehead, was later suspended. It remains unclear whether the account was reported by HYBE or YG Entertainment, the respective agencies of BTS and Blackpink, or if it was due to the concerted efforts of fans of the two idols. While there is a possibility that the account may be reinstated in the future, for now, the rumours and speculations surrounding V and Jennie's relationship have come to a halt.

The leaked pictures, allegedly from Jennie Kim's phone, had sparked strong reactions from BTS ARMY. They expressed their anger and frustration, urging HYBE to protect Kim Taehyung's privacy. Speculation arose that Jennie Kim's phone may have been hacked, leading to the leak of her alleged private pictures with V. This situation raised concerns among fans, who were closely monitoring the developments.

Surprisingly, neither HYBE nor YG Entertainment had released any official statements addressing the situation. This was actually in contrast to how they handled previous rumours involving Kim Taehyung, such as the Joanna Chun rumours, or the marriage gossip surrounding RM and the daughter of a Korean chaebol.

However, there has been no clarification or response regarding the alleged relationship between Kim Taehyung and Jennie Kim. YG Entertainment has a seemingly indifferent attitude toward the personal lives of its idols, while HYBE tends to disregard gossip, particularly when it involves their idols. Both agencies have chosen to remain silent on the matter.

The speculation gained momentum when Taehyung was spotted attending and later leaving the launch party of BLACKPINK's 'BORN PINK' album. This added more fuel to the ongoing conversation surrounding their alleged relationship.
