BTS' V and BlackPink member Jennie are rumoured to be in a romantic relationship, but are we surprised? Definitely not.

Fans have shipped the K-pop stars since Jennie's debut in 2016. There are even YouTube videos analysing Jennie and V's "suspicious" behaviour when their respective groups appear at the same music shows or events.

Few people believed the shippers' claims about the pair because V, real name Kim Tae-hyung, has been shipped with many female K-pop idols, including Twice's Tzuyu. Jennie has also been romantically linked with male idols like EXO's Kai and Big Bang's G-Dragon.

However, despite the disbelief from some K-pop fans, there were V&Jennie moments that even made non-shippers believe that there might be something going on between them.

Briefly News will take you through Jennie and V's rumoured relationship timeline.

December 2021: BTS V follows Jennie on Instagram

According to AllKpop, the first public interaction between V and Jennie happened in 2021, when V finally opened an Instagram account and followed Jennie. However, V quickly unfollowed the Blackpink member because the act caused an online frenzy.

To calm the situation, V reportedly took to WeVerse, a Korean app for K-pop fans to interact with their biases (fave groups/members), to explain the situation. V reportedly said:

"Is there a way to get rid of the 'recommended' friends list here on this Insta thing?.... It's a scary app."

May 2022: V and Jennie allegedly caught on Jeju Island

A man and a woman believed to be V and Jennie driving on Jeju Island trended. Shippers were convinced it was them, especially when the Korean airline T'way Air's employees claimed they saw Jennie and V boarding a flight to Jeju, reported Cosmopolitan.

But non-shippers didn't budge, claiming the picture was photoshopped, but their speculations convinced a fraction of fans.

Just when shippers thought they finally got the "relationship" crumbs, Jennie's agency, YG Entertainment, reportedly denied it was Jennie in the pictures. In true YG style, they claimed to know nothing of Jennie and V's alleged Jeju outing and the rumours died down.
