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.

BTS' V shares never-before-seen moments with military mates, goofy selfies and more post discharge: PICS
BTS' Kim Taehyung officially completed his mandatory military service on June 10, 2025, alongside BTS leader RM. But even before the fanfare of a group reunion could kick in, V surprised all with a deeply personal gift. The idol shared an Instagram post filled with never-before-seen photos from his 18 months in the army. And of course, he did it in his signature charming style: cheeky, sincere, and effortlessly cool! Love Me Tete Shortly after his discharge, V took to Instagram with a multi-photo post captioned with 'Love Me Tete.' He cleverly played on the title of Tems' hit Love Me JeJe, which he used as background music for the post. The phrase blends the song's title with his affectionate nickname Tete. Within moments, the post began trending as ARMYs rejoiced over the surprise drop. A glimpse inside military life The carousel featured an array of unseen photos, all of which offered a genuine peek into V 's time away from the spotlight. Many of the images captured heartfelt moments with his fellow soldiers, from casually hanging out and sharing laughs to preparing for swimming sessions together. One set even showed the group posing playfully in a 4-cut photo booth. Beyond these group moments, the post included a charming mix of solo shots. V shared a series of goofy selfies that revealed his playful side, along with mirror selfies taken in what looked like a practice room. There were also quieter, more introspective images. One shows him reading a book, suggesting peaceful moments of solitude during service. A highlight for fans was a workout photo featuring actor Song Kang, another military enlistee and close friend. The post also included a winter snap of V smiling beside a snowman, along with various other candid shots. All of which humanized the megastar and made fans feel closer to him again. Fans react with overwhelming love The post instantly became a trending topic across social media platforms. Fans were moved by V's thoughtfulness in sharing such private memories, especially after being away from the public eye for over a year. ARMYs flooded the comments with messages of love and thanks. They express how emotional and proud they felt to see V finish this chapter and return with such warmth. The countdown to the full BTS reunion With Jin and J-Hope having already completed their military duties in 2024, and RM and V now discharged, the excitement continues to build. Jimin and Jungkook also discharged the following day, on June 11. Now, only SUGA remains. He is expected to finish his alternative service by June 21, officially closing BTS' military hiatus that began in December 2022. The band is inching closer to a full reunion, and fans couldn't be more excited.
