Fact Check: Are BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie dating? Fans debunk Lovestagram clues, couple items, and more
Fresh dating rumors between BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) have resurfaced online following his military discharge. However, devoted fans from both fandoms were quick to shut them down. Though a handful of new 'clues' gained traction on social media platforms, netizens swiftly debunked the claims. They point out inconsistencies, coincidences, and past clarifications.
Love Me Tete
The renewed speculation began when V shared a celebratory Instagram post after completing his military service. With the post, he wrote the caption 'Love me TeTe' while including the song Love Me JeJe by singer Tems. Almost immediately, some internet users began to interpret the caption as a cryptic reference to Jennie. JeJe symbolises Jennie and TeTe refers to Taehyung.
Although the theory sounded compelling to some, long-time fans of BTS quickly came to V's defense. They explained that TeTe is a name ARMY has used affectionately for years, and there was nothing unusual about V referencing himself in a caption. As for the use of Love Me JeJe, fans argued that it was more likely a coincidence or simply a musical choice rather than an intentional hint. With no concrete connection to Jennie, the idea was dismissed as over-analysis.
Cake connection debunked
Another point of rumors was a photo of a cake that V included in that Instagram post. He received it to mark his discharge. The cake's inscription read, 'I'm happy to be with you.' It prompted some fans to suggest that it might have been a romantic gesture, potentially from Jennie.
However, ARMY members quickly squashed the theory. They recalled that V's close colleagues in the Special Duty Team had given him a similarly decorated cake during his active service period. Given the design and the timing, fans logically concluded that the discharge cake was most likely from his SDT peers rather than from a romantic partner.
Matching accessories? not so fast
Adding to the speculation, a few users pointed out that Jennie and V had each been seen with similar keyrings. They suggest the possibility of 'couple items.' However, this claim was also debunked by fans who discovered that the keyrings were mass-produced and extremely popular in Korea. Moreover, V had earlier disclosed that he received his keyring directly from the designer, Kim Hee June. So, it's possibly from him but in a different color this time.
A recurring rumor with no confirmation
This isn't the first time V and Jennie have been at the center of dating rumors. Back in 2023, the two were linked when blurry images allegedly showing them together in Paris surfaced online. Despite weeks of media speculation, both HYBE and YG Entertainment chose not to make formal statements. And the gossip eventually died down.
As again speculation cools, many fans are voicing frustration over the constant recycling of unfounded dating rumors. Both ARMY and BLINKs have called out sasaeng-level behavior. They are urging others to focus on their achievements rather than spreading false narratives.

Watch: Tourist Destroys Crystal-Studded 'Van Gogh' Chair By Sitting On it
A tourist has been caught on camera, sitting on a 'Van Gogh' chair at an Italian art gallery before the antique buckled under him. The chair, named after the famous Dutch painter, was created by Italian artist Nicola Bolla and had been housed in the Maffei Palace, Verona. The chair is believed to be studded with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. The tourist, accompanied by a woman, initially pretended to sit on the chair for the photo. The security footage then showed him deciding to sit on the delicate chair. As soon as he sat down, the delicate chair crumbled as the man lost his balance, trying to hold on to the wall with both hands so he wouldn't fall. The woman came to his rescue and helped him stand up. However, instead of informing the museum authorities, the pair quickly scurried out of the room. The museum took to social media to highlight the irresponsible act of the tourists and shared the footage. "Every museum's nightmare has become reality, even in Palazzo Maffei," the museum said in a post on Instagram, adding: "An irresponsible gesture caused serious damage to Nicola Bolla's "Van Gogh" chair, a very delicate work, covered entirely with hundreds of Swarovski crystals." "We are sharing this episode not only for the sake of reporting, but to start a real campaign to raise awareness about the value of art and the respect it deserves." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Palazzo Maffei Casa Museo (@palazzomaffeiverona) Social media reacts As the video went viral, social media users slammed the man for destroying the piece of art, with others highlighting that not many appreciate real art these days. "They even got away. There are no words," said one user, while another added: "So much ignorance, this is unacceptable! Foolish people." A third commented: "Unfortunately too many people enter museums just for a shot to post on social media and not because they have a real interest in art, which explains the ignorance and total lack of respect for places and works." The museum later revealed that after initially being pessimist about the chair's future, they managed to restore it. "For days we didn't know if it would be possible to restore it. But we did it. A heartfelt thank you goes to the police, our security department and the restorers whose valuable work enabled the recovery of the piece," the museum stated. It's unclear what the recovery cost was and if the offending couple would be held responsible for the damages.
