GOT7‘s BamBam reacted to the past dating rumors he had with BLACKPINK‘s Jennie.

In September 2024, Jennie and BamBam were spotted together in LA.

While the pictures went viral in Korea, sparking dating rumors…

The rumors were quickly shut down in a statement.

“The dating rumors with BamBam are not true. The two, who are friends, met in the States and just had a meal together.”

— officials from Jennie’s side

While it’s been some months since the pictures, it was brought up when GOT7 came together for 1theK’s content IDDP, where the members searched themselves on various social media platforms.

During the video, they looked at the website theqoo, which showed the pictures of BamBam and Jennie, with the title, “News report, JENNIE-BAMBAM’s official, “We’re not dating, we’re close friends.”

When the picture came up, BamBam unsurprisingly shared his thoughts, adding, “It’s not a romantic relationship. We could go out and eat together. They always think I’m dating someone when I’m with someone.”

Jay B also shared that he saw the photos and found it confusing as the two groups are “close friends.”

It was then revealed by BamBam that GOT7 and BLACKPINK have been “acquainted” since they were trainees.

BamBam then explained that the close friendship that they’ve had for a long time means they can go out and eat together.
