Fans have speculated that a pic of two people travelling to Jeju Island could be K-pop idols V and Jennie – YG Entertainment didn’t deny it, but Hybe has yet to comment

BigBang’s G-Dragon, Jennie’s rumoured boyfriend of one year, has unfollowed her Instagram – but still follows her bandmates Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé

Blackpink’s Jennie makes headlines for pretty much everything – from what she wears and where she goes, to who she meets. This time, the popular lead vocalist has got the internet buzzing once again because of rumours that she is dating BTS’ V, after they were possibly spotted on a recent holiday on Jeju Island.

But this isn’t the first time the K-pop icons have sparked rumours. And if the romance speculations are true, it prompts the question – what happened to Jendragon (Jennie and G-Dragon)?

We take a deep dive into what we know so far about Jennie and V’s possible love affair, which we hope might be the next K-pop power couple.

A photo of two people travelling in Jeju Island uploaded on May 22 went viral as netizens identified the faces as none other than Blackpink’s Jennie, 26, and BTS’ V, also 26.

The caption of the image was translated by Koreaboo: “This is a photo that was sent in today. It might be that they’re lookalikes, but it is allegedly a photo of two top idols. The female idol, in particular, has been rumoured to have broken up with an OG idol member. So fans seem to be more receptive to this photo as true.”

Fans were especially convinced as the pictured woman was wearing Gentle Monster’s Tambu sunglasses, which Jennie once shared on her Instagram.

But some ARMYs and Blinks – BTS and Blackpink fans, respectively – have dismissed such assumptions, pointing out that Jennie’s hair is now dyed orange, unlike the woman in the photo, and that the sunglasses are from a popular brand that many others could also own.

While the online debates rage on, YG Entertainment responded promptly to media outlet Chosun saying, “We have nothing to say. We will inform you if we have a different response to share.”
