BLACKPINK member Jennie (김제니) and BTS member V (김태형) have been the subject of dating rumors multiple times. While neither side has explicitly confirmed a relationship, discussions on the topic frequently resurface. Recently, Jennie and Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker were interviewed by *Rolling Stone* about their collaboration. A casual mention of a mutual friend has led netizens to once again speculate about Jennie's relationship with V, with some even believing it contains "relationship clues."
Jennie and Parker recently collaborated, and during their *Rolling Stone* interview, they discussed how they met. Parker revealed they had previously met at a bar in Korea, with mutual friend Peter Utz also present. This detail quickly captured the attention of fans.
Some netizens argue that the interview clearly states Peter Utz was the mutual friend, thus refuting claims linking this initial meeting to V. One comment read, "The mutual friend Kevin and Jennie mentioned is Peter Utz." Others defended Jennie, stating that her collaboration with Parker was natural and there was no need to over-interpret it as a dating topic.
However, another group of netizens holds a different view, suggesting that Utz and V already have connections, having appeared at the same events in the past. Therefore, even if the interview mentions Utz, it doesn't necessarily mean V is entirely unrelated to the situation.
One netizen pointed out that V had previously attended CELINE-related events, where Utz, Parker, and others were also believed to have been present, leading to speculation that they might have known each other for some time. Other netizens have closely examined Jennie's choice of words and expressions during the interview, particularly her reaction when mentioning "two people," believing it might carry an additional meaning.
The related discussions continue to trend on social media platforms. Some find Jennie's facial expressions intriguing, while others question whether it's too far-fetched to conclude she's hinting at V based solely on a single phrase or a fleeting expression.
Furthermore, another interpretation suggests that Utz might have simply been a mutual friend at the bar gathering. Later, when Parker wanted to contact Jennie to discuss a collaboration, another friend might have offered her number, meaning the interview content alone cannot definitively identify who that person was. As these details were not fully elaborated in the interview, various speculations continue to circulate online.
As of now, the dating rumors between Jennie and V remain unconfirmed by either party, and this interview does not directly prove they are in a relationship. Nevertheless, Jennie's comments about a music collaboration have unexpectedly reignited fan debates, bringing this long-standing rumor back into the spotlight.
