BTS’ vocalist and songwriter V (Kim Taehyung) has once again found himself at the center of dating rumors—this time, with IVE’s Jang Wonyoung. The speculation erupted after a post from a Chinese social media user claimed to have compiled a list of “proof” linking the two idols romantically.
According to Koreaboo, the rumor began when a Douban user named @momo shared a detailed “evidence list” connecting V and Jang Wonyoung through supposedly matching social media posts and overlapping schedules. The post quickly spread across multiple platforms, triggering intense debate among fans.
The alleged “proof” includes several instances of the two appearing to share similar surroundings in photos posted online. One example pointed out a photo of Wonyoung dining at Seoul’s SAN Restaurant, where the same glassware and menu items were reportedly seen in a picture posted by V just a day apart. In another instance, fans noticed that the marble pattern on a table in one of Wonyoung’s posts looked identical to the one seen in photos of V’s home, further fueling curiosity.
The “proof list” also mentioned a noodle dish visible in Wonyoung’s post, said to be V’s favorite meal from a restaurant near his residence. Adding to the intrigue, Wonyoung allegedly used two songs previously recommended by V during one of her livestreams—something many interpreted as a subtle hint of closeness.
Speculation deepened after fans noticed that both idols had overlapping schedules in Los Angeles during KCON, leading some to suspect they might have met privately. Photos of both dining at the trendy LA restaurant Mother Wolf, albeit in separate posts, further strengthened the rumors for some observers.
However, as of now, neither HYBE (BTS’ agency) nor Starship Entertainment (IVE’s agency) has released any statements regarding the claims. With no official confirmation, the supposed evidence remains circumstantial.
While some fans argue that the similarities are too striking to be coincidences, others dismiss the theories as exaggerated fan speculation. Until either side comments, the rumors surrounding V and Jang Wonyoung’s alleged relationship remain unverified—but it’s safe to say the internet is watching closely.
