BLACKPINK member Kim Jisoo (김지수) is currently embroiled in dating rumors with popular actor Seo Kang-joon (서강준). Speculation has been circulating widely online, sparking heated discussions among netizens, with some exclaiming, "Could this couple actually be real?"
Jisoo previously starred in the popular K-drama “Subscription Boyfriend,” where Seo Kang-joon was one of the male leads. Their on-screen chemistry garnered attention from many drama fans. Recently, however, netizens began scrutinizing their social media activity, suggesting their interactions seemed "more than just friendly." They compiled several alleged "dating clues," quickly propelling the rumors to the top of discussion forums.
One netizen posted on X (formerly Twitter) that they hadn't paid much attention to Jisoo's relationship status until Lisa's boyfriend was revealed. This prompted them to wonder, "Who is Jisoo's boyfriend who has never been discovered?" and directly named Seo Kang-joon.
The netizen compiled several "coincidences," starting with the perceived similarity of their Instagram profile pictures. Jisoo had previously stated her profile photo was from her "Clik" era, but some netizens discovered the photo was actually related to Cartier, leading them to believe the choice of images was subtly meaningful.
Furthermore, both artists were seen in New York on the same day, and their respective posts about their trips were published very close in time, leading netizens to draw connections.
The most discussed point, however, was Seo Kang-joon's appearance at a BLACKPINK concert. The netizen who broke the story claimed that Seo Kang-joon rarely attended colleagues' movie premieres or concerts and was generally considered to dislike going out. Yet, he appeared at a BLACKPINK concert on a particularly hot day, leading the netizen to speculate, "Could it be to support Jisoo?"
The post quickly went viral, accumulating over a million views, and many fans began to "ship" the two as a couple. One netizen commented, "If I remember correctly, he's not someone who goes to concerts, but he went for Jisoo..." Another excitedly stated, "Wait... could this couple be real not just in the K-drama, but in reality too?"
Other netizens also expressed that while they usually don't believe dating rumors, after seeing these clues, they "actually started to understand." Some even joked, "Wow, from Ahn Bo-hyun to Seo Kang-joon? Jisoo's ideal type taste is really good!"
However, all the current content is merely speculation by netizens based on social media photos, schedules, and public appearances. Neither Jisoo nor Seo Kang-joon has publicly confirmed a relationship, and whether they are indeed dating remains to be further verified.
