Are Jennie and V Sending Signals? Fans Spot Romantic Hints After V’s Military Discharge

Speculation surrounding the relationship between Jennie (BlackPink) and BTS V has resurfaced following a series of seemingly coordinated public gestures, triggering widespread discussion across online platforms.

On June 9, just one day before V was officially discharged from his mandatory military service, Jennie posted a series of promotional photos for her latest track, “Seoul City.” The song, which centers on a passionate and romantic theme, includes the intriguing phrase “Mr. General,” which many fans believe subtly references V’s role and title during his military service.

The fact that Jennie had been relatively inactive on social media, only to return with a song filled with romantic imagery just ahead of V’s release, led many to believe the post may have been more than coincidental.

After completing his military service, V shared an image of a congratulatory cake featuring the handwritten message, “I’m happy to be with you.” Fans quickly speculated about the sender’s identity, ruling out family or staff due to the intimate nature of the message.

Adding to the theory, netizens pointed out that the cake appeared to be from the same boutique bakery where Jennie had previously ordered cakes for close friends, leading to further conjecture that the gesture may have come from her.

Further fueling the rumors, online sleuths discovered that both V and Jennie were seen carrying keychains from the same designer brand. These matching accessories, often symbolic in relationships, were interpreted by some as a quiet yet meaningful nod to a continued connection between the two stars.

Rumors of a relationship between Jennie and V first surfaced in early 2022, when alleged photos of the two in Jeju Island appeared online. Despite widespread attention, HYBE and YG Entertainment did not issue confirmations or denials.

In May 2023, the pair were spotted together in Paris, reportedly holding hands a moment that sparked headlines worldwide. However, reports later claimed the couple had parted ways shortly before V’s enlistment in late 2023.

Neither HYBE nor YG Entertainment has responded to the recent speculation, maintaining a stance of silence amid the renewed buzz. Yet, the combination of social media timing, lyrical content, and subtle visual cues continues to capture the imagination of fans.
