Speculation about a possible romance between BTS’ J-Hope and TWICE’s Nayeon has resurfaced online, thanks to a brief but widely discussed moment at BLACKPINK’s recent concert in Goyang. The rumors, which originally gained traction earlier this year due to matching Instagram posts, visits to similar places, and so-called “lovestagram” clues, had begun to fade over time. But now, a single fan-captured video has brought the topic roaring back into the spotlight.
The video shows both idols arriving at BLACKPINK’s second concert night in Goyang, among a crowd of celebrity attendees. Nayeon was seen walking with TWICE’s Jihyo to their seats when J-Hope, seated nearby, appeared to notice her. His face lit up with what fans are calling an unmistakably cheerful grin, and many believe he even called out to her. The interaction, although brief, was full of enough warmth and spontaneity to set social media abuzz. One clip alone garnered over 400,000 views, making it clear that public interest in the duo hasn’t waned.
Fans of both BTS and TWICE are now divided in their interpretations. Some see the moment as a possible confirmation of a romantic relationship, citing the familiarity and joy in J-Hope’s expression. They hope the two idols are quietly dating and might go public someday. Others, however, urge caution, reminding the fandoms that J-Hope is known for being friendly and expressive. They believe the moment could simply reflect the ease and rapport that comes from sharing years in the same entertainment circle.
There’s also a group of fans who aren’t necessarily focused on dating rumors at all. For them, seeing members of BTS and TWICE interact in any way is already a thrill. They enjoy what they call the “BangTwice” crumbs and hope to see more casual, supportive moments between members of K-pop’s biggest groups.
So far, neither J-Hope nor Nayeon has addressed the rumors, just as they stayed silent during earlier speculation. Neither have their agencies released any official statements. As with many celebrity interactions, the truth remains personal and private—something only the two idols involved fully know.
Still, the buzz surrounding the brief exchange shows just how closely fans follow their favorite stars. Whether it’s a sign of romance or just a natural moment between two well-known colleagues, the public fascination continues—reminding everyone just how closely the world watches K-pop idols, even in the quietest of moments.
