Just days after V (Taehyung) was discharged from military service, a wave of dating rumors has resurfaced about him and BLACKPINK’s Jennie. And, well… you know how this goes.
Recycled Rumors with a Fresh Coat of Digital Paint
Let’s be clear: the Jennie–V dating rumor first surfaced back in 2023. Now, with V back, someone reignited the fire on TikTok. The claim? V’s cryptic caption—“tete”—on a civilian pic looked eerily similar to Jennie’s old captions. Then there’s that cake he shared on his discharge day… supposedly from the same bakery Jennie uses. Cue the fan detectives claiming it’s all “too much of a coincidence” .
So now we have cake crumbs and cryptic text being held up as definitive proof of a hidden romance. Because obviously, that’s how mature fandom works.
Fan Reactions: Supportive, Skeptical, or Just Tired?
As expected, the fandom response was… mixed. Some are shipping hard: “THE CAKE??? The SONG NAME??? Definitely from Jennie.” Others are rolling their eyes: “This is blatantly reaching.”
It’s a classic case of two camps:
- Hard-core ship boosters who think a passing bakery choice = relationship confirmation.
- Fans who remember that cakes happen, captions are ambiguous, and runway coincidences aren’t clues.
Why It Feels Like Déjà Vu All Over Again
History alert: last time V and Jennie were seen together was a casual walk in Paris. That shook the fandom in 2023. YG and HYBE said nothing officially. Now, two years later, some fans are back to diagnosing romance based on cakes and keychains.
Look, I get it. Tentative signs feel thrilling. But are we diagnosing intimacy where there might just be shared aesthetic taste? That’s a reach—even by K-pop standards.
Can We Stop Monetizing Privacy?
Here’s the real issue: every ambiguous caption and shared cake supplier gets dug into like court-level evidence. And every vague coincidence becomes proof of a private life being staged for tabloid clicks.
If idols like V and Jennie ever DO date, they’ll do it on their terms—not through clue-chasing fans and clickbait narratives.
Until then? Let’s lay off jumping to conclusions just because someone shared a bakery link or typed “tete.” This isn’t detective work. It’s fandom hysteria with no boundaries.
Final Thoughts: Trust the Process—But Don’t Invent It
V’s released from the military. That’s news enough. Jennie’s living her best life. That’s valid. But unless an idol officially confirms? Let’s stop treating cakes as confessions and captions as commitments.
Support them. Whatever. But let’s not make coffee orders and keychain colors into a scandal.
TL;DR:
- Recent TikToks claim V’s discharge-day caption and cake hint at a secret romance with Jennie
- Fans are split—some say it’s obvious proof, others call it wishful thinking
- Promos and cupcakes are not proof of relationships
- No statements from YG or HYBE—so calm down and trust adults can date… or not, on their own terms, without us playing matchmaker.
Let’s all chill, okay? If they ever choose to confirm, great—until then, don’t bake entire narratives out of cakes.
