Why are BTS' Jin and BLACKPINK's Jisoo being ‘shipped' by fans? Delulu mode gets activated with alleged proof
Both Jin and Jisoo have long been regarded as visual icons in the K-pop world. So when fans noticed them sporting remarkably similar plaid shirts around the same time, imaginations ran wild. Social media quickly exploded with light-hearted theories.
Jin and Jisoo's matching checked shirts
Jin is currently in the middle of his solo RUNSEOKJIN_EP. TOUR. During one of his recent shows, Jin appeared on stage in a casual but eye-catching outfit. He wore a checkered shirt paired with a straw hat.
Around the same time, Jisoo shared a carousel of off-stage snapshots from BLACKPINK's ongoing DEADLINE world tour. Among the photos, fans couldn't help but notice her laid-back checked shirt. Though not identical to Jin's, it looked strikingly similar in pattern and vibe. That's all it took! A side-by-side comparison made its way onto TikTok, and from there, the shipping storm began.
Matching plaid outfits spark fan-made Jin-Jisoo dating theories
The TikTok video quickly gained views, showing clips of Jin and Jisoo in their respective plaid outfits with captions jokingly implying a hidden connection. Fans flooded the comments with jokes and exaggerated 'investigative' takes, pretending to connect imaginary dots between the two idols.
One fan jokingly urged fellow "delulus" to rise, playfully declaring that they had found a perfect match. Others tagged their friends, laughing over how K-pop fans can turn even the smallest details into a full-blown fantasy narrative. Some even joked that 'K-pop detectives' needed to get involved.
No real Jin-Jisoo romance, just fans being 'delulu'
Despite the sudden surge in chatter, there's no truth to any actual dating rumors between Jin and Jisoo. Fans know it's all just for fun. It's a light-hearted way to engage with their favorite idols through harmless fan content and imagination.
In fact, many commenters acknowledged the absurdity of it all, calling out their own 'delulu' behavior. In fandoms, 'delulu' is a tongue-in-cheek term used to describe moments when fans dream up romantic or dramatic scenarios involving their favorite stars. They do so fully aware that it's all fictional.

Sana says there's valid reason why J-Hope is successful, reacts to BTS and TWICE talking informally to each other
Sana's Fridge Interview became a holy grail for 3rd generation K-pop fans as TWICE member Sana interacted with many fellow singers, and one that got the most attention was the episode with BTS member J-Hope. As a part of his solo promotions, the older star got to share the contents of his fridge with the world and the two were able to create a lot of interesting moments including one where the MONA LISA singer got the chair stuck on his 'wings' and according to Sana's recent comments, was followed by her falling down. But the production team decided to edit out her embarrassing moment, saving her face in front of the viewers. Sana credits J-Hope's success to his good nature For the last episode of the second season of Sana's Fridge Interview, the TWICE member recalled some highlights. Praising her interaction with the BTS member, Sana shared that it was the first time she was able to speak to J-Hope personally. 'He's just such a nice person that I thought, 'Ah, success really does come to people for a reason.' He was so gentle and calm,' she said, adding a thumbs-up at the end. Reading a comment from her viewer, 'I'm watching BTS and TWICE casually chatting in 2025', she understood what a rare sight that was. Agreeing with it she recalled their early days as K-pop stars, 'Back in the day, we barely even had time to greet each other. There was no chance to actually talk.' Reacting to the 'informal talk' portion of the comment, she added that there was no way they could do that as senior-junior teams back then. But things had changed now, 'We're meeting up and talking about old times, cooking and sharing meals.' She wondered if not for her show, they would have ever done this.

Ahaan Panday, who played Krish Kapoor, credited the miraculous success to his grandmother. He dropped a series of BTS pictures from Saiyaara and wrote, "Kabhi yeh nahi socha tha mujhe itna pyaar milega, dadi mujhe hamesha raj bulati thi, kaash woh aaj krish ko dekh paati, Bhagwan ko hamesha yeh kehta tha ki agar duniya mujhe pasand na bhi kare, Mujhe pata tha.. sitaaron mein sitara, ek tanha tara-dadi meri.. wahan se dekh kar mujhe.. muskuraengi - ye sirf aapke liye hai dadi." Ahaan further penned, "I don't know what lies ahead for me, but I know that in this moment I feel the love in my bones, I feel it for every single one of you, and I'll feel it forever and ever and ever." The young actor concluded by making a promise to work twice as hard. "I promise to work twice as hard, be twice as good, and to do this for you all, but also do it for the child in me, the child who had two left feet. The child who got jitters before going on stage, the child who was always told he couldn't do it, we all have that child in us. I hope you all keep making that child happy because that child in you deserves it all, thank you for this miracle, I wish I could hug every single one of you; Tere bina to kuch naa rahenge)." Aneet Padda says 'Daze is wearing off' Aneet Padda, who played Vaani Batra in Saiyaara, also shared her pictures from the movie and wrote, "The daze is wearing off and all I want to say is that I love you. I don't know you. But I know that I love you. All this love you've been so generous to give me, it's sitting heavy in my chest, and I don't know what to do except give it back." The actress mentioned that she is scared of what's coming next for her. "I'm scared of what's next, scared I won't be enough, but whatever I have, even the smallest piece of me, I'll put it out there. If it makes you laugh, or cry, or remember something you thought you'd forgotten, if it makes you feel a little less alone - then maybe that's what I'm here for. And I'll keep trying. Imperfect, but with everything I've got. Because I love you," said Aneet Padda.
