BTS’s J-Hope & TWICE’s Nayeon Spark Dating Rumors Again After Attending BLACKPINK Concert
The love lives of K-pop idols are always a hot topic, and this week, J-Hope of BTS and Nayeon of TWICE are making headlines following their appearance together at BLACKPINK‘s star-studded “DEADLINE” concert.
The concert, which took place over two nights, was dubbed “a red carpet event in disguise,” attracting an elite celebrity crowd including Lee Min Ho, Jung Hae In, TWICE, Red Velvet, Hyeri, BABYMONSTER, and BTS’s J-Hope. However, while the event dazzled fans with its star power, it was the sight of J-Hope and Nayeon seated in the same VIP section that truly sent the internet into overdrive.
According to eyewitnesses, the 2 idols appeared to be enjoying themselves, grooving to BLACKPINK‘s music with visible excitement. Nayeon attended the concert with fellow TWICE member Jihyo, while J-Hope arrived solo, resulting in speculation that the concert may have served as a “meeting spot” for the rumored couple.
Photos and videos from the concert show J-Hope and Nayeon dancing along with the music, seemingly unbothered by fans or speculation. This relaxed attitude has only deepened the intrigue, especially considering this is not the first time the two have been linked romantically.
Earlier this year, a viral social media post outlining “dating hints” between the two stars amassed over 400,000 views. Fans pointed out that J-Hope and Nayeon had checked in at the same locations multiple times between 2022 and 2023, and even shared a similar photo style at certain events.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Nayeon and fellow TWICE member Momo publicly joined J-Hope for the “Sweet Dreams” dance challenge, during which Nayeon affectionately referred to him as “oppa”, which is a term used by Korean women for close older male figures.
Reactions online to such rumors are mixed, as many fans urge caution, stating that simply attending the same concert doesn’t constitute dating proof. “They’re just enjoying the concert like everyone else,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “Let them live their private lives in peace.”
