Earlier this year, dating rumors between the two top Kpop idols J-Hope (BTS) and Nayeon (TWICE) spread widely, when netizens pointed out many signs that the two had activities related to each other.
Specifically, through posts on Instagram, they are said to have been to many similar locations. Netizens consider this evidence of the two artists' dating.
After that, the rumors gradually subsided because J-Hope, Nayeon and the artists' management companies did not speak up to clarify.
But recently, the interaction between J-Hope and Nayeon at Blackpink's concert once again caused a stir among the audience.
Dozens of artists including actors, singers and influential people have come to support Blackpink's concert on July 5-6. In particular, the audience was surprised to discover J-Hope (BTS) and 2 TWICE members - Nayeon, Jihyo - in the stands.
Before the concert started, Nayeon and Jihyo went to their seats. According to the video shared by the audience, when the two members of TWICE stepped up the stairs, J-Hope saw Nayeon. He seemed to look at Nayeon, call her name and smile.
This video attracted more than 400,000 views immediately after being posted on X and was shared by many fans. J-Hope and Nayeon's dating rumors were also hotly discussed by the audience.
However, many viewers speculate that J-Hope and Nayeon may just be a close colleague relationship.
There are analytical comments that J-Hope's visit to the Blackpink concert was a big surprise, because the BTS member and Blackpink rarely have real-life interactions. This shows that idols have relationships that fans are not aware of. So J-Hope's closeness to the TWICE member is entirely possible.
Previously, instead of correcting dating rumors, J-Hope took on a "Sweet Dreams" dance challenge with Nayeon and Momo (TWICE).
Near the line, J-Hope also appeared on the online entertainment program "Sana's Fridge Interview" hosted by Sana (TWICE). Their comfort proves that artists are inherently good relationships, not as tense and competitive as what fans imagine.
