Dating speculation surrounding BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) and BLACKPINK’s Jennie (often nicknamed “Taennie” by fans) has once again surged following a series of coincidences noted during their recent schedules in Los Angeles and Seoul in November 2025.
This latest wave of rumors adds to an already long history of media attention surrounding the two global K-pop superstars, whose agencies have consistently maintained a stance of non-confirmation or non-denial regarding their private lives.
The Spark: Simultaneous Schedules and Shared Travel
The primary catalyst for the renewed speculation was the observation that both V and Jennie appeared to be in Los Angeles (LA) at the same time, despite V’s arrival allegedly preceding his officially scheduled appearances.

This simultaneous presence in the U.S. sparked immediate interest among their respective fandoms and general netizens.
The rumors gained significant traction when fans noted what appeared to be their simultaneous return to South Korea from LA.
A post dated November 17, 2025, specifically claimed the two “arrived to SK from LA yesterday,” with social media posts, including a viral TikTok, highlighting this coincidence.
For fans invested in the relationship theory, this coordination of international travel—both leaving a major U.S. city and arriving back in Seoul at the same time—was considered compelling evidence of a shared private schedule.
Fan-Identified “Coincidences” and Supporting Clues
Beyond shared travel, fans have consistently interpreted various other public details as subtle hints confirming the relationship:
- Staff Connections: The Koreaboo article points out that fans found links between V’s stylist and Jennie’s manager, Alison, suggesting that their professional teams may also be connected or coordinating.
- Matching Items and Accessories: Throughout the long history of the Taennie rumors, fans have often highlighted “matching” outfits, accessories, or small personal items as clues. The article references this ongoing trend of spotting “coincidences” in their outfits and accessories during their recent schedules.
- Social Media Nods: Historically, dating rumors between the two have been fueled by perceived clues on social media, such as V’s use of a specific song or image, which fans often connect back to Jennie’s past posts or outfits. While the current article focuses on their travel, the excitement shared by netizens on platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) demonstrates how deeply rooted the fan theory remains.
Agency Silence and The Ongoing Rumor Mill
Despite the constant swirl of rumors, the agencies representing the artists—HYBE/Big Hit Music for V, and Jennie’s respective management (which has shifted with her solo career post-YG Entertainment contract renewal)—have maintained a policy of not commenting on the artists’ private affairs.
This consistent lack of official confirmation or denial has allowed the rumors to persist and reignite whenever the idols are publicly linked, either through alleged leaked photos (as occurred in 2022) or synchronized international activities like the recent LA and Seoul trips.
While this most recent speculation in November 2025 is the latest chapter, the dating narrative has remained a significant topic of discussion within the global K-pop community since its initial emergence in 2022.
The fan reactions demonstrate a strong, ongoing belief among supporters that the coincidences are too numerous to ignore.
