On May 17, 2023, French journalist Taoualit Amar posted a video on his TikTok account featuring a couple he claimed to be Jennie and Kim Taehyung strolling around in Paris on a romantic date.
Though the couple's faces were covered from head to toe, many fans doubted their identity. However, the journalist insisted they were the K-pop idols and was sure about that. Following the journalist's claim, YG Entertainment and BigHit Entertainment have released statements stating they do not have information about the artists' lives.
Now that the breakup news of Jennie and Kim Taehyung is going viral on social media, fans can't keep calm. They claim that earlier reports were false and fabricated, suggesting it is YG Entertainment's media play after Jennie's exclusive contract with them to gain attention from fans.
They also believe that both artists have their own lives and we do not have the right to infringe upon them. Fans criticized several media outlets for using their names for clout while instantly discarding the notion that the two never dated. Some other fans who believed they dated expressed support for Kim Taehyung and Jennie's decision and pledged to continue doing so in the future.
