K-pop fans are once again speculating about BTS’s Kim Taehyung (V) and BLACKPINK’s Jennie, following a seemingly innocent Instagram story by the Winter Bear singer. BTS V recently posted artwork from the book ‘When We Were Very Young’ featuring Winnie the Pooh and it immediately reignited dating rumours. The illustration showed Pooh in a pose that looked familiar to many fans. They linked it to a 2022 photo where V and Jennie allegedly wore matching Winnie the Pooh T-shirts. An anonymous account named Gurumi Haribo leaked the photo online. Neither V nor Jennie confirmed its authenticity, but it stirred both fanbases at the time.
Adding more fuel to the fire, netizens noticed that Jennie had recently used the same emoji in one of her captions for a London event that also appeared in BTS V’s post. While the emoji is commonly used, fans believe it’s too specific to be a coincidence especially given the history of visual clues between the two stars.

After V’s military discharge in June 2025, fans began speculating once again. It was alleged that Jennie visited Los Angeles recently, and both idols posted photos around the same time leading many to connect the dots all over again.
Despite the constant buzz, neither Jennie nor V has ever publicly addressed the dating rumours.
