The internet is abuzz with speculation about BLACKPINK's Jennie and her potential romantic involvements. Recently, two separate rumors have surfaced, linking her to both an American actor, Nico Hiraga, and rekindling old rumors with BTS's V.

The rumors involving Nico Hiraga began circulating after photos of Jennie in Vancouver, Canada, went viral. Some social media posts claimed that the two were on a trip together and had even been seen together as far back as 2024. Some posts went further, accusing Hiraga of being involved with multiple women. This sparked a heated debate online, with some fans pushing the rumors and others defending Jennie. Many netizens argued that Jennie and Hiraga could simply be friends and criticized the invasive nature of over-analyzing every interaction idols have.

Adding fuel to the fire, old dating rumors between Jennie and BTS's V have resurfaced. Fans have been spotting what they believe to be "hidden hints" that the two are still together, despite reports of a breakup. One piece of "evidence" is a photo posted by one of Jennie's acquaintances, a director and producer, featuring V at a Los Angeles Dodgers game accompanied by Jennie's song "Start a War". This led to speculation that the song choice was intentional. Another supposed clue is a photo of V shared by fellow BTS member j-hope, in which V appears to be wearing a Celine necklace customized with a "JV" charm. This charm is not part of the original design, leading fans to believe it was specially made.

This isn't the first time Jennie and V have been linked romantically. In 2023, private photos allegedly depicting the two were leaked online, causing significant controversy. While some media outlets reported that they had parted ways, neither artist nor their agencies have commented on the speculation.

Adding to the complexity, Jennie has been linked to other idols in the past, including EXO's Kai and Big Bang's G-Dragon. In fact, in an interview earlier this year, Jennie stated that she hadn't been on a date in a long time, seemingly shutting down rumors linking her to various individuals.

As with most celebrity dating rumors, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt. Neither Jennie nor her agency, YG Entertainment, have responded to the recent speculation involving Nico Hiraga or BTS's V. Until there is an official statement, these remain unsubstantiated rumors. What is clear is that Jennie, like many K-pop idols, faces intense scrutiny and a constant invasion of privacy. Fans have rallied to her defense, emphasizing that she deserves to enjoy her personal life without constant speculation and unfounded assumptions.
