Despite videos showing “Lovers in Paris” BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie holding hands, their agencies still chose not to directly address the dating rumors between the two.

V and Jennie did it in public and without hiding their identities, an event that added to the growing rumors that they are in a relationship. It was also in May last year when the dating rumor started when a photo was uploaded online showing them in a car in Jeju Island. Just like in the past, the agencies of V and Jennie decided not to confirm nor deny their relationship. "It is difficult to verify,” was the simple response of HYBE and YG Entertainment to an inquiry by Korean media outlet Sports Seoul about the Paris video. This is in contrast to the stance of YG Entertainment when BLACKPINK’s Rosé, 26, was rumored to be dating actor Gang Dong-won, 42. Rosé and Gang Dong-won were in a photo that was uploaded by Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci. After initially saying that "it is impossible to confirm because it is the artist's private life," YG Entertainment changed its position and denied that the two were dating. “We reveal that the dating rumors of Rosé reported today are not true. We would appreciate it if you could help prevent the spread of false information,” the agency said. Jennie is in France to attend the screening of the series “The Idol” at the Cannes Film Festival on May 22. V left for Paris on May 15. Amar told netizens that the two persons in the video are V and Jennie. “I see Jennie and Taehyung in Paris. I see like a couple with the security like it was very secret in this industry so I captured that was Jennie and Taehyung. I see them, yeah. I confirm,”he said. Here are the photos of V and Jennie together last year:
