In late October, netizens were sent into a frenzy after the owner of a famous barbecue restaurant in Los Angeles, California, revealed that Jennie and V had visited the establishment together in November last year. The owner even shared a photo of Jennie’s autograph and liked comments asking whether the two stars had dined together. After revisiting their schedules from November 2025, netizens noticed that both celebrities had been in Los Angeles around the same time. Specifically, Jennie attended an advertising photoshoot on November 14, 2025, while V had a schedule with a cosmetics brand on November 15. This immediately reignited speculation that the couple may never have broken up, despite reports of their separation in late 2023.
According to KoreaBoo, topics surrounding Jennie and V’s rumored relationship have accumulated more than 7 million views on social media platform X. In the latest development, netizens have also uncovered a post that they believe suggests the couple had subtly gone public with their romance and were already deeply affectionate as far back as 2023.
V previously shared photos from a dinner party in Paris in May 2023, following an event for CELINE. Netizens placed one of his photos alongside an image Jennie posted on Instagram in July 2025, which was also taken in Paris, and spotted an unexpected similarity. Both pictures featured what appeared to be exactly the same caviar dish. This detail has been viewed as another possible clue supporting speculation about their close romantic relationship, sparking heated discussions among fans. Many believe that V, and especially Jennie, may never have wanted to hide their relationship from the public.
Jennie and V’s rumored romance is considered one of the most talked-about relationships in K-pop. It began amid controversy in 2022, when photos allegedly showing the pair together on Jeju Island surfaced, followed by a series of private images leaked from the singer’s phone.
In May 2023, a video showing the couple holding hands while walking along the Seine in Paris practically confirmed their relationship, although neither of their agencies ever issued a direct statement. However, toward the end of 2023, Korean media outlets simultaneously reported that the two had broken up before V left for his mandatory military service. After V was discharged last year, further clues emerged that appeared to suggest they had reunited. Despite the public speculation, neither Jennie nor V has ever commented on the rumors.
