BLACKPINK’s Jennie Speaks Out on Dating Rumors
Jennie’s (BLACKPINK) love life has always been a hot topic among fans.
Recently, Jennie released her solo album RUBY and has been actively promoting it through various programs. During an interview on the YouTube channel K-Pop!ON Spotify, she opened up about her dating life.
When the host asked, “Do you have a crush on anyone?” Jennie candidly responded, “I haven’t dated in a long time.” This statement effectively shut down the recent rumors linking her to Dominic Fike, Mingyu (SEVENTEEN), and BamBam (GOT7).
In the K-pop industry, “dating” is often a sensitive topic. Many idols fear losing fans if their relationships are exposed, but Jennie is an exception. Throughout her nine-year career, she has been involved in dating scandals three times, yet her career remained unaffected—unlike many other idols.
In January 2019, Dispatch published photos of Jennie dating Kai (EXO). However, under public pressure, the couple broke up in less than a month. By February 2021, Dispatch once again reported that Jennie was dating G-Dragon. YG Entertainment did not confirm the relationship, but insider sources claimed they had been together for over a year, and Jennie’s mother even supported them. The two YG stars kept their relationship extremely private, never making public appearances together. Netizens believed they were a perfect match in status, talent, and style.
However, in May 2022, a series of dating photos of Jennie and V (BTS) surfaced. Around the same time, G-Dragon unfollowed Jennie and posted cryptic images that fans speculated were aimed at V. It was rumored that Jennie and V broke up after more than a year of dating. Their relationship caused turbulence within both fandoms. It wasn’t until August 2023 that Jennie and V’s managers confirmed their romance through the renowned Elle France magazine. Unfortunately, the golden couple quietly ended their relationship in late 2023, leaving fans in disappointment.
