According to exclusive news from JTBC, V (BTS) and Jennie (Blackpink) broke up after more than 1 year together. Responding to this information, V and Jennie’s representatives said they could not confirm the artist’s personal life.
On the forums Theqoo, Pann, and Allkpop, the public reacted mixed. Many people are confused because the people involved have never admitted to the relationship, some are happy because the star couple broke up, and there are opinions that the couple is falling apart.
V and Jennie’s love story once shocked showbiz, because they are “the most famous people in the two most successful Kpop groups”.
Although the couple has never confirmed, the relationship is still embellished and embellished by anonymous accounts on social networks.
Ilyo Newspaper quoted pop culture critic Kim Sori about why the two artists’ management companies kept silent. Kim Sori commented that YG Entertainment’s statement means that V and Jennie are really dating. That will be a big shock to fans.
Jennie is the member with the most love scandals in Blackpink. Before being suspected of dating V, Jennie was entangled in love rumors with famous male singers like Kai (EXO) and G-Dragon. During the uproar in her private life, the female idol born in 1996 did not confirm.
Coming from a company where dating is taboo, Jennie finds it difficult to admit that she is in a relationship with her colleague. In an interview on Party People in 2017, Blackpink confirmed that they are not allowed to date, smoke, drink alcohol, go to nightclubs, get tattoos or have plastic surgery.
Jennie was even reminded by YG’s CEO about her personal life. “Since the first day I joined YG Entertainment, president Yang Hyun Suk told me to always be careful with boys,” Jennie recounted.

From the video of a couple traveling in May 2022, to a series of private photos leaked on Twitter or a love video in France, YG did not speak up to verify clearly.
Up to now, when the couple is said to have broken up, the public still cannot be sure whether they are really dating, whether private photos were leaked or their private lives were fabricated.
However, it cannot be denied that V – Jennie’s love affair brings a strong media effect, attracting discussion for every schedule they participate in.
In mid-2023, V and Lisa continuously reached the top of searches when appearing at Celine fashion house events. In September 2023, V chatted with Jisoo at Frieze Seoul 2023 Paradise Art Festa and sparked many speculations.
Similarly, Jennie and Jungkook’s joint schedule for a brand also received special attention from the media. When the female idol starred in the 18+ movie “The Idol”, related stories, including V’s, were dissected by Hollywood media.
Rolling Stone frankly concluded that the filmmaker only took advantage of the influence and reputation of Blackpink members to attract attention for “The Idol”. While Jennie was criticized for filming an offensive film, the audience mentioned V and were curious about his reaction.
V and Jennie’s newspaper love story is considered unprecedented in history. Every story is based on “speculation”. But whether that love exists or not, the effects – both negative and positive – are still real.
