Dynamite singer Kim Taehyung, known famously for his stage name V, and Solo singer Jennie Kim's dating rumours have gone viral after a fan posted a picture of them purportedly travelling together in a car.
Although the pictures appeared to have been of the two artists, many fans are skeptical of their authenticity. Fans were left divided as many believed that the picture was photoshopped while some defended the singers and believed they are entitled to privacy. Amidst the social media frenzy, BLACKPINK's agency YG Entertainment issued a brief statement addressing the dating rumours.
