‘Leave Jennie, V alone’: ARMY, Blinks dismiss dating rumours, say photos of two K-Pop idols fake

In the viral photo, BTS’ band member is seen driving a sedan, while a woman resembling Blackpink’s Jennie is seen sitting on the passenger seat. According to the original uploader, @dailyfashion_news, the two stars were spotted in a car in Jeju Island. “This is a photo that was sent in today. It might be they’re lookalikes, but it is allegedly a photo of two top idols,” read the text accompanying the picture as translated by Koreaboo. “The female idol, in particular, has been rumored to have broken up with an OG idol member,” the Instagram handle wrote without naming any of the stars but referring to the news of Jennie parting ways with her alleged boyfriend, Big Bang’s G-Dragon.

While BTS’ agency hasn’t commented on the issue, Jennie’s representative, YG Entertainment, neither confirmed nor denied the allegations. According to local media outlet Chosun, YG Entertainment said: “We have nothing to say.”

While many claimed that the two adults were free to date whoever they want, others claimed the image was photoshopped and was being circulated with malicious intent. Some fans, while arguing that the picture is fake, said the original scene is from a reality show called BTS in the Soop, where V was driving the car with fellow bandmate J-Hope.

Many also wondered if the dating rumour involving two of the world’s most popular stars was only started to distract people’s attention from another idol’s bullying scandal. As the pictures continue to trend online, fans have united to trend ‘Leave Jennie alone’ and ‘Leave Kim Taehyung alone’, while expressing their love and trust towards their idols.

blackpink jennie and bts v rumors are created by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots

Even if both J & V are dating it’s none of our business, they’re adults, they know what they’re doing, it’s their life and as fans we should just support them. They’re both single so leave them the fuck alone people!!! 💢

LEAVE JENNIE ALONE
LEAVE TAEHYUNG ALONE

Even if its taehyung and jennie or not, yall have to learn to accept that they are grown adults, they can date each other or even other people and they deserve to be happy and nobody has to say anything about their lives and thats final.

Making a fake dating rumours is just a very shameful act done by antis.

They thought that by using two of the most prominent artists in Korea and internationally as the cover, the public would divert their attention from “GARAM BULLY”. But as I make you understand Hybe, you yourself dug your own grave.

LEAVE TAEHYUNG ALONE
LEAVE JENNIE ALONE

Leave Taehyung alone
Leave Jennie alone
People spreading fake edits and making a false rumor and this is all happening when garam issue is still going on. Yeah get a life and stop making false rumors

— Tae’s wife🧸골프영재 김태형⁷ (@_TAEsDeepVoice) May 23, 2022

I honestly am OK with our idols dating. But, if it’s a fake rumor caused by attention seeking f**ks then I’m not OK with that. Ya’ll think ya’ll are the author of their life and just write fake shts. I hope karma bites you hard

LEAVE JENNIE ALONE
LEAVE TAEHYUNG ALONE

— DIMPLES⁷∞🌹🥀 (@MikaelaMisaki7) May 23, 2022

Y’all think HYBE would use Jennie like that, but KIM TAEHYUNG is in that car like ? You think they’d throw their own artist under the bus like BTS wouldn’t raise HELL for it ? Be serious. BTS built HYBE and could RUIN it in an instant. This ain’t YG.

leave taehyung and jennie alone. fake or not, respect. and if that’s fake, then those responsible for spreading that fake new should pay/be responsible for the chaos they cause.
