Recently, V appeared alongside RM and J-Hope at Tyler the Creator’s concert, held on September 14 in Seoul. The circulated photos showed the members enjoying themselves alongside James, a member of CROTIS’s band. Jennie and dancer Lee Jung also appeared, raising further doubts about V’s romantic life.
Later, Jennie shared photos from the concert on her Instagram account. However, some netizens quickly linked her presence to V’s appearance at the same concert, speculating they might have gone together despite reports of their breakup in 2023. Others, however, brought in a new character: dancer Lee Jung, who had previously collaborated with V in a dance challenge.
The controversy escalated after a video of V alongside dancer Lee Jung at the concert went viral. A netizen described the interaction: “The way he was looking at her, and when she saw him staring, he looked away and licking his lips, oh my god .”
Netizens were quick to respond to the rumors about V and Lee Jung, with many sharing that they were just friends and had previously collaborated, and sharing their opinions on the video. Many specifically pointed out that V was actually looking elsewhere, with some saying his focus was on James from CROTIS.
It was also noted that Lee Jung’s Instagram account was flooded with comments about these “rumors.”
Netizens React To V and Lee Jung’s Dating Rumors
Some were frustrated with the way the conversation was turning sexual, writing: “taehyung really didn’t call lee jung “dance instructornim” just for yall to sexualize her and reduce her to being a fck buddy… istg leave her alone ????”
Others dragged Jennie and even Taekook shippers into the discussion, saying: :”Leave Jennie alone, Taehyung is already happy with Leejung, and for you Taekookers you should congratulate Taehyung on his new relationship.”
Meanwhile, some admired Lee Jung but downplayed the supposed romantic tension: “I think Lee Jung is very pretty and also talented, and she and Taehyung have incredible chemistry. BUT, for me, Tae is looking at the people taking photos behind her. I don’t think he was looking at her (at that moment).”
And others dismissed the rumors completely, pointing to another video: “their entry video is already out, n you can clearly see tae minding his own business and looking in james’ direction while leejung is giggling w her boyfriend so pack it up none of this will change the fact that jenma is a seoul cycle”
