BTS and BLACKPINK’s cozy moments at award shows
Although they were active around the same time, BTS and BLACKPINK debuted quite far apart. In 2013, BTS debuted under the small, debt-ridden entertainment company BigHit, while it wasn’t until 2016 that BLACKPINK officially debuted under the “Big 3” agency. K-pop, YG Entertainment, immediately became monstrous recruits.
Despite humble beginnings, BTS achieved remarkable success with “Spring Day” around the same time BLACKPINK debuted. From there, the boy band became a global sensation.
Between 2016 and 2018, BTS and BLACKPINK primarily focused on campaigns in Korea, before targeting overseas, particularly the US market.
Thus, the two world-famous groups shared many moments together during the award ceremonies. Their senior-junior relationship is comfortable, without the hesitation often seen between competitors in the music industry.
In recent years, despite the decrease in public interactions between BTS and BLACKPINK, many cannot help but reminisce about old memories. BTS’s reaction to BLACKPINK’s performance and their polite gestures towards their juniors is particularly noteworthy.
The relationship between V and Jennie, close and surprising relationship between BTS and BLACKPINK
After enjoying international success, BTS and BLACKPINK no longer have many public meetings. However, since V and Jennie’s alleged dating photos surfaced in early 2022, the two global groups have continued to drop hints proving their close relationship.
During BLACKPINK’s private album launch party “Born Pink” in September 2022, Korean media confirmed V’s attendance. At the time, the relationship between V and Jennie remained a mystery, subject to much speculation. .
Although YG and BigHit have not given an official stance on V and Jennie’s relationship, many people strongly believe that the relationship between the two is real after alleged photos of them holding hands in public in Paris in May 2023.
However, rumors later circulated that V and Jennie had broken up before BTS’s V completed his military duty in December 2023. Meanwhile, to this day, various details suggest that the two are still linked.
In addition to V and Jennie, other members of BTS and BLACKPINK also caused a stir with their meetings. For example, the “connections” of Lisa – V – Park Bo-gum and Jennie – Jungkook.
Notably, Lisa and V are both associated with fashion brand Céline, and their first appearance together surprised fans when Lisa called V “oppa”, an intimate term. Photos of Lisa, V and Park Bo-gum together at a Celine event also caused a stir among fans.
Meanwhile, Jungkook and Jennie are both ambassadors for Calvin Klein. As a result, Jungkook personally attended Jennie’s joint collection launch event with the fashion brand.
Netizens believe that Jennie and V’s alleged relationship is sure to lead to BLACKPINK’s closeness with other BTS members and even friends of the boy group. Apart from Jungkook, Jennie is also known to be close to actor Park Seo-joon – a member of V’s famous group of friends, the Wooga Squad.
Additionally, BTS and BLACKPINK share a close circle of friends within the K-pop industry. For example, RM is very close to G-Dragon and The Black Label artists, while Jimin has collaborated with Taeyang.
Recently, Lisa and Jisoo were spotted being friends with SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, while Mingyu is a famous idol from a 97-line friend group that includes Jungkook. The natural interaction between Mingyu and the two BLACKPINK members further suggests a close relationship between BTS and BLACKPINK.
Recently, netizens discovered a video of Jungkook’s “Golden” album launch party in November 2023. Many fans noticed that in addition to BTS members, Jennie and Jisoo were also present. The discreet presence of the BLACKPINK duo at Jungkook’s party made Internet users even more excited. From there, the relationship between BTS and BLACKPINK once again became a talking point.
The real-life relationship between BTS and BLACKPINK is full of unexpected close connections.
Despite their fandoms competing for achievements, BTS and BLACKPINK are actually close friends. From an objective point of view, both groups were active around the same time and represented K-pop internationally, so it’s no wonder they knew each other, were close and shared a circle of friends.
