If you're a K-Pop fan, then you've probably heard of BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim. The K-pop star is South Korea's it girl and recently starred as Dyanne in The Idol alongside Lily Rose-Depp and The Weeknd. But, did you know about her dating history?
While, like many other K-Pop artists, Jennie doesn't date publicly, she has been linked to some pretty interesting people over the years. So, from Harry Styles to V from BTS, here is Jennie Kim's rumored relationship history.
Kai of Exo - 2018
Kai, a South Korean singer, model, actor, and a member of EXO and SuperM was photographed with Jennie back in December 2018. Fans had already started to speculate about their relationship months prior after they both posted separate photos in front of the Eiffel Tower at around the same time.
They dated for a few months, however, the pair split up the following January with Kai's management company, SM Entertainment, confirming that the two were no longer together.
“It is true that Kai and Jennie have recently parted ways,” the company said in a statement.
Harry Styles - 2019
Jennie and none other than Harry Styles sparked dating rumors in early 2019 after he followed her on Instagram and then attended a BLACKPINK concert. But, nothing much more came of these rumors.
Maybe Harry's just a Blink, like the rest of us?
G-Dragon of BigBang - 2021
K-Pop group BigBang's leader, G-Dragon, and Jennie first met in her training days when she starred in one of his music videos. With them both being under the same management company, YG Entertainment, they've also worked together on music.
Then, the pair sparked dating rumors in February 2021 with South Korean gossip site Dispatch reporting that they had been dating for around a year. But, Jennie and G-Dragon are said to have parted ways in May 2022, with him unfollowing her on Instagram yet still following the rest of her BLACKPINK bandmates. Awkward!
V of BTS
In 2022, BTS’ V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, and Jennie were spotted on Jeju Island, South Korea, prompting many fans to speculate something was happening between the pair. After the photos were released, V's management YG Entertainment released a statement: “We can not confirm anything about our artists’ personal lives. We ask for your understanding.”
They also sparked dating rumors the previous year when V followed Jennie on Instagram, sending BTS and BLACKPINK fans into a frenzy combust especially because he only followed his band members at the time. But, he quickly unfollowed her and neither of them has denied or confirmed dating the rumors. What an it couple they would be!
