Netizens Accuse HYBE Labels of Using Dating Rumors of V BTS and BLACKPINK's Jennie to 'Save' Kim Garam

BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS's V became a hot topic of conversation on social media.

BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS's V were rumored to be dating after their photos were widely shared on social media.

However, the dating rumors between BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS's V were linked to rumors of Kim Garam LE SSERAFIM's school violence.

Currently, netizens are accusing HYBE Labels of using dating rumors of V BTS and BLACKPINK's Jennie to 'save' the case of Kim Garam LE SSERAFIM.

As is known, top idols, BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS's V are rumored to be dating.

This happened after BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS's V went to Jeju Island together and their photos have now spread widely on social media.

Netizens argued fiercely and questioned the authenticity of the photo.

Some of them believed that it was just a photoshop version of the scene where V and J-hope appeared together in 'In the SOOP'.

On the other hand, many believe that this photo is genuine because the clothes, hairstyle, and sunglasses that V BTS is wearing in the photo are different with different j-hopes.

BLACKPINK's Jennie also has the same sunglasses from Gentle Monsters.

Previously, V accidentally followed Jennie on Instagram.

Singer Grimes and model/actress Jung Ho Yeon, friends of BLACKPINK's Jennie, also follow V on Instagram.
Their SNS layout is also very similar to their black-and-white profile picture and simple letters V – J.

Until finally the photo is currently a viral debate among Korean netizens.

However, the agency that oversees V BTS, HYBE Labels, has not said anything about the rumors.
This is a very abnormal move on behalf of HYBE.

Some ARMYs (BTS fans) argued that the photo was not BTS's V and BLACKPINK's Jennie, but rather photoshopped from a previous photo of J-hope and V in their car.

According to fans, it's safe to assume that there's no chance that BTS's V and BLACKPINK's Jennie are in the same car.

Even so, fans still raise questions about it.

"Why are Big Hit Music, and subsequently, HYBE Labels, so slow in responding to dating rumors of their biggest artists, especially when they are usually so quick to refute unsubstantiated claims?," the question reads as quoted by KBIZoom.

Many netizens believe this is a media move from HYBE to distract from Kim Garam LE SSERAFIM who is also a HYBE artist and is currently involved in a school violence controversy.

Following this thought, BLACKPINK and BTS fans alike were displeased, because if this is true, HYBE has gone too far.

This not only affected V right before BTS's comeback but also dragged down the clueless BLACKPINK Jennie.

Of course, these are just unconfirmed suspicions, and for now, there is no official statement from HYBE.
