Love is in the air, or at least that’s what K-pop fans are buzzing about! Rumor has it that two superstars, Jennie from BLACKPINK and V from BTS, may just be tuning their hearts to the same love song. While there hasn’t been any official announcement, one clip was enough to send fandoms on cloud nine, leaving them giddy with excitement and imagination running wild. Here’s what happened:

Parisian bliss and romance

Paris continues to live up to its nickname as the City of Love. French journalist Amar Taoualit posted a TikTok video that looks like a moment straight out of a fairytale! In the photos, the couple is seen casually strolling along the picturesque Seine while holding hands. OMG!

Taoualit confirms it was Jennie and V he saw walking along the famous tourist spot. As of this writing, the TikTok video has nearly three million views and an avalanche of comments. 

Love déjà vu?

This isn’t the first time Jennie and V were caught in the middle of dating rumors. Last year, the internet collectively lost its mind following an alleged picture of them traveling on Jeju Island. Fans also caught V briefly following and then unfollowing Jennie on Instagram in December 2021.

YG Entertainment, the company that handles BLACKPINK, released a brief statement on the alleged relationship, saying they have “nothing to say” about the issue and will address the public once they have a “different response to share.”

Netizens can’t handle the kilig!

Anyone who sees a couple that’s happy and madly in love can feel a rush of kilig — much more if that’s two drop-dead gorgeous superstars like Jennie and V. BLINKs and ARMYs’ hearts melt in awe, expressing their overwhelming support to both of them.

The two fandoms may not see eye-to-eye all the time, but one tweet perfectly captures the state of some warring fans in both camps right now.

Can we also get a Jennie x V collab? Or is that too much to ask?

Don’t you love it when fans show support like this? Truly amazing people!

One user also pointed out that Big Hit Music, BTS’ agency, doesn’t need to say anything because they don’t owe confirmations of their artists’ personal lives to the fans.

“Tae[hyung] can date whoever he wants, and he never has to confirm it. Doesn’t mean it’s not true, just not our business,” they added.

Key takeaway: Hold onto your lightsticks, everyone deserves respect

The K-pop industry has a long-standing history of obsessive fans who harass any idol that gets romantically involved with their favorite artists. (Exhibit A: Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon apologizing for “hurting” the fans for being in a relationship with EXO’s Baekhyun.)

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but let’s get this straight — fans don’t own K-pop idols. Whether the rumors about Jennie and V are true or not, it doesn’t give anybody the right to spew hate and derogatory comments. If you can’t muster up support for these two superstars finding happiness, the least you can do is be an adult and be respectful. Let love be love, and save the drama for the K-dramas!
