The K-Pop world was abuzz with excitement and curiosity when a video allegedly featuring BTS’s Taehyung and BLACKPINK’s Jennie surfaced online on May 17th. The video, which showed the two superstars walking along the Seine river in Paris, sparked rumors of a possible romance between them.
The video was originally posted by a French journalist named Amar Taoualit on his TikTok account. He also shared a photo of Taehyung with his manager, confirming that it was indeed him in the video. The video quickly went viral on various social media platforms, especially among the fans of BTS and BLACKPINK.
Many fans were thrilled by the possibility of Taehyung and Jennie dating, as they are both considered to be among the most popular and talented members of their respective groups. Some fans even noticed that the two idols had matching outfits and accessories in some of their previous posts, suggesting that they might have been hinting at their relationship for a while.
However, this is not the first time that Taehyung and Jennie have been linked romantically. In fact, the rumors date back to May 2022, when a series of photos that allegedly showed them driving together to Jeju Island were leaked online.
Since then, fans have been looking for clues that could hint at Taehyung and Jennie’s relationship. Some of them noticed that they have been wearing matching jewelry in some of their public appearances and social media posts. Others pointed out that they have similar taste in fashion. But perhaps the most intriguing clue came from BLACKPINK’s second studio album, which was released in September 2022.
The album, titled Born Pink, featured a title track “Shut Down” that sampled Paganini’s “La Campanella”, a classical piece that is known for its difficulty and virtuosity. The song was a huge hit, topping charts around the world and breaking records for streaming and sales. However, some fans noticed that Taehyung had already shared the same piece on his personal Instagram in June 2022. This led some fans to speculate that Taehyung had heard Shut Down before it was released to the public, and that he might have gotten a sneak peek from Jennie herself.
Of course, this is just a theory based on circumstantial evidence, and it could be a mere coincidence. But for some fans, it is enough to fuel their hopes that Taehyung and Jennie are indeed dating. They believe that the two idols are a perfect match for each other, as they are both talented, charismatic, and beautiful. They also think that they deserve happiness and privacy, and that they should not be judged or harassed by anyone.
However, not everyone is convinced or supportive of the rumors. Some fans are skeptical about the validity of the video and the photos, and think that they are either fake or staged by someone who wants to create controversy. They also argue that Taehyung and Jennie are too busy with their careers to have time for dating. They also worry that the rumors could harm their reputation or cause trouble for their groups.
As of now, there is no official confirmation from either BigHit or YG regarding the rumors. It is unclear whether Taehyung and Jennie are really dating or not, or whether they will ever confirm or deny it publicly. Until then, fans can only speculate and hope for the best for their favorite idols.
