Dispatch is known as a "news hunter" thanks to its ability to track and listen to news quickly. They have repeatedly reported exclusive dating news with solid, undeniable evidence, forcing artist management companies to speak up to confirm.
According to Allkpop, Dispatch often targets top stars in the entertainment industry. Every year, January 1st becomes the day Dispatch chooses to announce a famous couple who are dating, also known as the "New Year couple" by the audience.
As New Year's Day approaches, audiences are excited and buzzing about the identities of the couple that are about to be "revealed". The public looks back at the famous couples announced by Dispatch, including Jennie and Kai.
On January 1, 2019, Dispatch released dating photos between Kai (EXO) and Jennie (Blackpink).
According to Dispatch, Kai picked Jennie up at her house on November 25, 2018. The news site took a photo of the couple getting into the car before heading to Sky Park for a late night date. In the photo, Kai is seen holding Jennie’s hand as they walk down the street.
Dispatch predicts that this idol couple has known each other since October when they both went to Paris to attend Fashion Week. Jennie attended the Chanel show and Kai attended the Gucci show.
Afterwards, the two management companies SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment confirmed that the couple had been dating since October 2018.
Kai and Jennie's dating news caused a stir and was controversial because they were under two different management companies and had almost no relationship. At that time, Blackpink was banned from dating by YG.
After that, the stock prices of SM and YG simultaneously plummeted, also believed to be due to the impact of the love news of the two famous artists.
Kai was born in 1994, 2 years older than Jennie. Kai and Jennie are both famous members of 2 top Kpop groups, EXO and Blackpink. Therefore, the dating news once made both of them suffer, under great pressure from public opinion.
