The Connection Between BLACKPINK Members’ Rumor Boyfriends
The rumored boyfriends of BLACKPINK members recently have one thing in common.
Mingyu (SEVENTEEN)
On July 20th, social media buzzed when Lisa (BLACKPINK) unexpectedly posted a video of a dance duet with the idol Mingyu from SEVENTEEN. On Lisa’s TikTok, which has over 14 million followers, Mingyu is the only male artist besides Rosé to appear. They danced to the new song “ROCKSTAR,” making fans excited with their adorable and close interactions.
The appearance of two big names like Lisa and Mingyu together instantly created a sensation. Within half a day of posting, the video reached 16.1 million views. This surprise appearance with BLACKPINK’s youngest member recalled the famous “flirting” moment between Lisa and Mingyu at the Bvlgari event earlier this year.
At that time, fans of both groups were astonished by the close friendship displayed by the 1997-born idols. Lisa appeared very comfortable with Mingyu, like an old friend.
Aside from being Lisa’s close friend, Mingyu has also sparked dating rumors with Jennie. Recently, speculation arose due to several similarities, including Jennie and Mingyu wearing matching clothes and using the same phone case.
Notably, Jennie and Mingyu’s families had the same schedule in Japan. BLACKPINK’s youngest sister visited the same restaurant as Jennie in May 2024. Jennie had also attended a SEVENTEEN concert to support the group.
Previously, Mingyu and The8 participated in the WOP dance challenge promoted by Jennie, creating a new phenomenon. Their video quickly broke records with nearly 85 million views. Although some details pointed out by netizens seemed forced, the dating rumors with Jennie have kept fans buzzing.
In addition to Jennie and Lisa, Mingyu is also acquainted with Jisoo. At the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week in February, Mingyu’s hot “debut” earned him the title of national husband. Mingyu and Jisoo were among the few Korean artists at the Dior show. Although they didn’t appear together, Jisoo’s cheerful greetings to Mingyu still caused a social media stir. It can be said that Mingyu and BLACKPINK share a special connection.
Cha Eun Woo
BLACKPINK also has a special connection with the 97-line K-pop gods. This friend group, including Jungkook (BTS), Mingyu (SEVENTEEN), Cha Eun Woo (ASTRO), Yugyeom (GOT7), and Bangchan (Stray Kids), is famous for having the most popular idol faces.
Before Mingyu’s dating rumors with Jennie, Cha Eun Woo created a buzz with repeated dating rumors involving Rosé. Netizens pointed out a series of dating evidence between Rosé and the most beautiful K-pop idol, suggesting their relationship began in 2021.
Cha Eun Woo attended Coachella and was a guest at BLACKPINK’s after-party in April 2023. Many “hints” of matching outfits and similar photo locations between Rosé and Cha Eun Woo have been noted. In 2021, the two were seen at an art exhibition and posted images from the event.
In 2022, Cha Eun Woo and Rosé were both in Paris for Fashion Week and took similar photos, including dining at the same restaurant. In April, they checked in at the TeamLabs Planets Museum in Japan just days apart.
Despite the dating rumors, neither side has commented, allowing the rumors to spread. This is not the first time Rosé has been paired with Cha Eun Woo. It’s undeniable that they have great visual and reputational harmony. Many fans see Rosé and Cha Eun Woo as a beautiful couple and are eager to see them together.
BLACKPINK’s Special Relationship with Global Idol Jungkook
The most special relationship BLACKPINK has is with Jungkook (BTS). As representatives of the top K-pop groups, BLACKPINK and BTS are seen as fierce rivals. However, despite the fan tension, BLACKPINK and BTS have been spotted having friendly interactions. Even V and Jennie dating shocked the music world.
When dating rumors between Rosé and Cha Eun Woo arose after Coachella 2023, Jungkook was also mentioned. He was seen attending the music festival and enjoying BLACKPINK’s performance. Netizens noted that the girl with Jungkook resembled Rosé.
Jungkook and Rosé have often worn matching outfits and had overlapping schedules. At one point, Rosé was rumored to be dating two of the hottest K-pop idols, who are also close friends.
In addition to Rosé, Jungkook’s relationship with Jennie has also attracted attention. Although they aren’t rumored to be dating, their connection with V has excited fans. In May 2023, Jungkook appeared publicly at Jennie’s event with Calvin Klein.
Moreover, in November 2023, Jennie and Jisoo were rumored to have attended Jungkook’s album listening party for “GOLDEN.” Despite not interacting directly, the mutual support between Jungkook and Jennie has stirred social media.
