Witness accounts of a possible date in Paris between BTS member V and BLACKPINK member Jennie are making waves across the internet.

On the 18th, various online communities were buzzing with a video showing a man and woman holding hands while enjoying a late-night stroll along the river Seine in Paris. Though wearing hats, the pair had their faces exposed as they had opted not to wear masks.

The fan who initially shared the video asserted that the two individuals were indeed V and Jennie, and that the person following them was their manager. Some netizens have joined in speculating that the man and woman are indeed V and Jennie.

Their presence in Paris aligns with their respective official schedules. Both had plans in Paris - V had left for France on the 15th for a photoshoot and to attend an event for a fashion brand, while Jennie is scheduled to attend the premiere and red carpet event for the American HBO drama 'The Idol' at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival in southern France on the 22nd.

Naturally, this incident has ignited the third wave of dating rumors involving the pair.

The first rumor emerged in May of the previous year when a witness account and photos purportedly showing V and Jennie going for a drive in Jeju Island were posted on an online community.

In August of the same year, they were once again embroiled in dating rumors when private photos presumed to be of V and Jennie, and another photo suspected to have been taken together in a waiting room, were released.

At the time, both of their agencies did not issue any specific responses. However, YG Entertainment, where Jennie is signed, did respond to the invasion of Jennie's privacy by filing a lawsuit against the initial distributor of Jennie's private photos.

In the current scenario, it is expected that their respective agencies, YG Entertainment and V's agency, Big Hit Music, will remain silent. This mirrors their response to previous dating rumors, and it is predicted that they will not release any official statements regarding the rumored date in Paris. Consequently, the official status of the pair's relationship remains 'embroiled in dating rumors'.
