It was pure chaos at Incheon International Airport on October 4, 2025, and for good reason. Three of South Korea’s biggest stars — BTS’ V, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, and EXO’s Kai — all showed up around the same time, creating what fans are now calling an “iconic pop culture moment.” Cameras flashed, fans screamed, and bodyguards rushed to keep order as the trio made their way through the terminal to catch their flights to France for Paris Fashion Week.
What made this moment even more interesting was the history between them. Years ago, Jennie and Kai were confirmed to be dating — one of the few public K-pop relationships at the time. Their agencies even admitted it, which shocked fans everywhere. Unfortunately, their relationship ended a few months later due to their busy schedules.
Not long after, new rumors began swirling around Jennie and BTS’ V. Leaked photos of them allegedly walking together in Jeju Island and later strolling along the River Seine in Paris in 2023 sent the internet into a frenzy. Neither of their agencies ever confirmed or denied the rumors, and things seemed to quiet down when V enlisted in the military. But after his discharge, whispers of their relationship reignited — and haven’t really stopped since.
So, seeing all three of them at the same airport on the same day — and reportedly heading to Paris for fashion week events with Celine, Chanel, and Lacoste — felt straight out of a K-drama. Fans online joked that the scene was “The Summer I Turned Pretty: K-pop Edition,” drawing parallels to the love triangle in the popular show starring Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno.
While it’s highly unlikely that V, Jennie, and Kai were actually on the same flight, the timing couldn’t have been more dramatic. Each of them looked effortlessly stylish — V with his polished Celine look, Jennie exuding Chanel chic, and Kai serving Lacoste sophistication. The airport truly became a runway and a gossip hub all at once.
Whether it was coincidence or fate, this unplanned reunion of three of K-pop’s most talked-about stars has definitely gone down as one of the most unforgettable celebrity sightings of the year.
