According to Koreaboo, Korean audiences are buzzing with evidence that V (BTS) and Jang Won Young (IVE) are dating. The story began when both idols attended Paris Fashion Week and answered interviews with matching details.
Accordingly, in a video interview with V at CELINE's event, he shared that the laughing stock beef corn cake in Paris is delicious and he wants to try it. After that, the BTS member was actually caught enjoying this cake in his free time after the show.
Not long after, Jang Won Young also attended MIU MIU's performance and was asked about the dish she wanted to eat in Paris. The female idol immediately replied: "laughing C taelings". This coincidence was immediately considered by many fans to be "prove of love" between the two top Kpop stars.
However, many audiences quickly refuted and thought that it was completely normal for the two artists to mention the same famous dish in Paris. "This cake is very popular. Why are you trying to pair them together?", "V is almost her senior from the previous generation", "They only eat the same type of cake, there is nothing to do more",... are comments that the audience is too speculative.
Some people were even upset when Jang Won Young was dragged into unnecessary controversy, saying that arbitrary pair-ups had become a bad habit in the fan community.
Previously, V and Jang Won Young were scratched by the audience for checking in at the same location. On August 4, V posted a photo of himself eating at a San San restaurant in Seoul, Korea, and the next day, the Kpop beauty also revealed that she went to eat at the restaurant that was identical to V.
On July 3, Jang Won Young posted a photo showing off food on his personal page. Notably, the stone motifs on her dining table coincide with the stone table motifs of V's house.
Before Wonyoung, V BTS was suspected of dating Jennie Blackpink. It all started when V followed Jennie on Instagram and quickly removed her. After that, a series of photos that were said to be of V and Jennie on a private date went viral on social media. However, up to now, V and Jennie have never made any move regarding the dating rumors between the two.
