Dating rumors linking BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s V have once again resurfaced online after a recent video of Jennie enjoying a round of golf went viral across social media platforms.

The two global K-pop stars have been at the center of speculation for years, with fans and netizens frequently analyzing their social media activity, travel schedules, fashion choices, and hobbies for potential connections. Although neither artist has publicly confirmed a relationship, discussions surrounding the pair—often referred to by fans as “Taennie”—continue to reappear whenever new similarities are noticed.

The latest wave of speculation began after clips of Jennie golfing attracted significant attention online. Fans praised the BLACKPINK star’s athleticism, relaxed atmosphere, and effortless visuals, helping the videos spread rapidly across TikTok, X, and various online communities.

However, the conversation soon shifted beyond golf itself.

As the clips gained traction, netizens began revisiting BTS V’s own well-known interest in the sport. Over the years, V has shared multiple golf-related updates and photos with fans, making the hobby one of the activities most commonly associated with the BTS member outside of music.

The overlap quickly became a talking point among fans, with some social media users arguing that Jennie taking up golf—or appearing to enjoy it more publicly—was reminiscent of V’s interests. Others went further, compiling videos and screenshots comparing locations, travel patterns, and leisure activities linked to both stars.

TikTok users in particular contributed to the renewed discussion by creating compilation videos highlighting perceived similarities between the two idols’ lifestyles. Some posts pointed to golf, while others revisited older rumors involving vacations, photography styles, and locations that had previously fueled speculation.

As a result, the phrase “Taennie coded” began appearing in comments sections, with many fans jokingly suggesting that the new golf content felt reminiscent of the pair’s past dating rumors.

Still, many netizens were quick to push back against the speculation.

Critics of the renewed rumors noted that golf is an extremely popular hobby among celebrities in South Korea and around the world, making it difficult to view a shared interest as meaningful evidence of a relationship. Others argued that similarities in hobbies or travel destinations are often coincidental, especially for high-profile entertainers who move within similar social and professional circles.

Neither Jennie nor V has commented on the latest round of speculation, and there remains no new verified evidence regarding their relationship status.

For now, the viral golf videos appear to have accomplished something familiar in the K-pop world: turning an ordinary celebrity pastime into the center of an internet-wide discussion.

Whether fans view the similarities as coincidence or something more, one thing is clear—the fascination surrounding Jennie and V remains as strong as ever, with even a casual day on the golf course proving enough to send social media into another “Taennie” frenzy.
