Then suspicions that BTS‘ Taehyung and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie were together in the same city, New York, possibly enjoying a “date away from the public eye” due to photos shared on Instagram fueled romance rumors.
One of the alleged photos of the couple, released for the first time on networks on August 29th, once again caught the attention of Internet users. It’s the mirror selfie inside an elevator where they’re both wearing Pooh T-shirts.
When the photo was first published, it was considered the least believable photo among the leaked ones as the couple’s faces were not visible. Also, netizens claimed that stars as famous as the BTS member and Jennie would not wear couple shirts in public.
