V has long been linked to BLACKPINK’s Jennie, with rumors first emerging in 2021 before quieting down during his military service. Although reports previously suggested the two had gone their separate ways in 2023, fans now believe the relationship may have rekindled.

When asked about making a heart gesture, she responded that a “V” would be nice, referring to a peace sign. The comment quickly went viral, with fans interpreting it as a subtle nod to BTS’s V.
Speculation intensified days later when Jennie shared a birthday TikTok. Sharp-eyed fans noticed she was wearing a Cartier Love Bracelet identical to one V had worn in a recent photoshoot. The matching accessory was quickly labeled a “couple item” by netizens, further fueling the rumors.
Meanwhile, Jungkook has also found himself at the center of renewed dating talk, particularly with aespa’s Winter. The two were previously rumored to be involved last year, and those whispers returned following BTS’s announcement of their upcoming album Arirang, set for release on March 20. During a Weverse live broadcast on January 16, BTS revealed that Jungkook personally designed the album’s logo, which features three red circles. Fans soon began comparing the design to Jungkook’s well-known puppy tattoo, noting similarities to Winter’s own puppy tattoo a coincidence that reignited speculation about a possible connection.
