On the evening of January 19, on his personal Instagram account, male idol V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS shared some songs on his story (post mode displayed 24 hours), such as "I Want" by Mk.gee, "Crybaby" by SZA, "The Dress" by Dijon, "Funny Papers" by Mac Miller...
One song that surprised fans was "Stay a little longer" by Rose (Blackpink) - a single from the solo album "rosie" released in November 2024.
It's not unusual for artists to introduce songs they love or are interested in. However, BTS and Blackpink are two of the most famous Kpop groups, and the members rarely have public interactions, so V's actions immediately attracted attention.
Furthermore, BTS's fan community (ARMY) and Blackpink's fan community (Blink) are two Kpop fan communities that have often been in a confrontational position, with intense competition.
Therefore, netizens commented that V's actions show that there is no discord or avoidance between artists.
In fact, members of the two groups have quietly shown support for each other.
When asked about his favorite K-pop song recently, Jin said it was “APT.” by Rose and Bruno Mars. Jungkook also sang a part of “APT.” during a livestream last December.
J-Hope was seen dancing to “APT.” when he appeared as a guest pitcher at a baseball game in October 2024.
Additionally, there are also rumors that Jennie and Jisoo attended Jungkook's solo album "Golden" launch party. Or Jungkook, RM, V attended the launch event of the collaboration collection between Calvin Klein and Jennie.
In particular, the connection between the two groups is most mentioned through the dating rumors of V and Jennie.
The two idols began to be suspected of dating in the summer of 2022, when photos of them traveling on Jeju Island spread online.
Then, an anonymous account leaked some private photos proving Jennie and V's love affair, causing a stir on social media.
Notably, in May 2023, the media exploded when a French photographer posted a short clip recording the scene of what was believed to be the couple V - Jennie holding hands walking in Paris.
The two idols have never admitted to dating. Their management companies, HYBE and YG Entertainment, have remained silent and have not responded. So the public believes that this love story is real.
By December 2023, Korean media reported that V and Jennie had ended their relationship.
