Although the pair never officially confirmed their relationship, speculations had been circulating for a year, fueled by a photo of them together on Jeju Island circulating online. Despite the absence of official confirmation, they were seen months ago holding hands while walking on the streets of Paris.
The breakup news was revealed by Korean media outlet JBTC, stating that the couple decided to part ways before V’s enlistment. Both YG Entertainment (Jennie’s agency) and Big Hit Music (V’s agency) have yet to comment on the reports.
This development comes amidst a whirlwind of news for both groups as BLACKPINK recently renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment, quelling rumors of a potential disbandment, while BTS members are currently on a break from doing group activities as they complete their mandatory military service.
