Rumors that BTS's V and Blackpink's Jennie are in a romantic relationship are gaining traction once again, after a photo of a couple who looks suspiciously similar to the singers was posted online Tuesday.

In the photo, a man is getting his hair done while a woman stands behind him, taking the photo in the mirror with her phone.

Some fans have also pointed out that Jennie has been spotted wearing the same cardigan and bracelet and using the same phone as the woman in the photo, while the man is wearing clothes V wore when he left for Paris Fashion Week in June.

The source of the photo is unknown but some speculate that it came from Jennie's private social media account. Others are questioning the authenticity of the picture and saying that it could be photoshopped.

Neither of the celebrities' agencies have responded to the rumors.

V and Jennie are both heading to the United States. V left for New York City on Wednesday morning for a photo shoot while Jennie will be departing on Thursday to get ready to perform with Blackpink at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), slated to be held in Newark, New Jersey on Aug. 28.

Rumors about V and Jennie's romantic relationship first surfaced in May when a photograph of a couple that resembled the two celebrities inside a car on Jeju Island began spreading online.

YG Entertainment, which represents Blackpink, released a statement saying, “We have nothing to say,” while V’s label HYBE, did not make any comment.
