French Paparazzi Confirms V and Jennie Were Together in Paris, Netizens React

Rumors surrounding BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie enjoying a "date in Paris" have been confirmed by a French paparazzi.

On May 17th, a video began circulating online, showing the alleged couple holding hands and enjoying a date in Paris.

Both idols were wearing hats and strolling leisurely along the Seine River in Paris.

Jennie is in Paris for the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, while V is participating in a photoshoot and a Céline event in France.

Although the agencies of both singers have neither confirmed nor denied the video, French paparazzi Ali Tetaissa and photographer Amar Taoualit have confirmed that the two individuals in the video are indeed V and Jennie.

According to Ali, the two stars were walking together before separating once they spotted the paparazzi. Photos of the two artists wearing the same outfits on the same day have also caught attention.

On Korean online communities, netizens have written:

"BTS and Blackpink... Top-level stars. They really look good together..."

"It makes me realize that not being able to see your significant other because you're too busy is actually just an excuse. If you really love someone, you'd make time to see them no matter whatㅋㅋ"

"They should have made their relationship public at this point... I wonder why they denied the rumors...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"Whoa... They're not even bothering to hide their relationship nowㅋㅋㅋ They really look good together..."

"The way they have staff following them from behind is so hilariousㅋㅋㅋ"

"They're really cute togetherㅠㅠ I wonder what it's like to be superstars walking hand in hand in Paris... I'm really happy to see this."

"Is the person following them their manager?"

"It's weird to see them looking like an ordinary couple walking togetherㅋㅋㅋㅋ It makes me realize they're human too..."

"V and Jennie's managers are going to be best friends at this pointㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"They're making their relationship public, wow...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wonder if Jennie can wait for her boyfriend during his mandatory military service later..."

"I bet they'll have such pretty babies..."

"A date in Paris... must be really romantic"

On the other hand, initial rumors of a relationship between V and Jennie began to spread last year after several alleged photos of the two were shared online.
