'V will talk about Jennie' a Korean journalist on the hot seat after mentioning the two idols' rumored relationship.

On August 30th, it was reported that V from BTS will be appearing on the popular TV show 'You Quiz on the Block' on tvN.

The production team of 'You Quiz on the Block' announced that V had already completed filming for the upcoming episode, scheduled to air on September 6th.

While all the BTS members participated as a group on 'You Quiz on the Block' in March 2021, this marks the first time a member will appear on the show as a solo guest. As the first BTS member to do so, V will share personal anecdotes.

With the announcement of the idol's special appearance on 'You Quiz on the Block,' a journalist from the prominent Korean media outlet DongA sparked controversy among Korean netizens and fans.

The journalist wrote, "There is particular anticipation about whether he will mention the rumors of his relationship with Jennie from BLACKPINK, which made headlines in the media for some time."

"There are also expectations for him to talk about his individual activities outside of BTS, as well as his future plans during his mandatory military service." Additionally, the journalist titled the article 'V from BTS Appears on "You Quiz"... Will He Mention Jennie from BLACKPINK?'

The journalist drew criticism from many netizens for bringing up the dating rumors between V and Jennie ahead of his solo activities. Many felt that the journalist had diverted attention away from V's solo endeavors by discussing the rumors before anything else.

Netizens commented, "Yet another useless journalist," "Do you think they will even address this issue?" "What are they talking about?" "Wow, this journalist's persistence is real," "This journalist is mediocre, but I'm also curious, lol," "What kind of article title is that?" "Do you really think so?" "The article title is so lame," "If you were in his shoes, would you talk about it?" "Wow, this journalist is truly the worst," and "But 'You Quiz' often mentions celebrity couples, that's true."

This is not the first time a major media outlet has faced criticism for mentioning the couple. ELLE France also received significant backlash after indirectly confirming the relationship."
