Well, maybe V’s good looks, charm, and “ideal boyfriend” vibe are so obvious that it naturally leads to him being paired with numerous female artists or co-stars in the industry. Since his debut, V has never revealed any romantic relationships of his own, yet there have been countless baseless dating rumors.
Female artists who have allegedly been linked to him include BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Jisoo, TWICE’s Sana, choreographer Lee Jung, and even close friends like IU. Most of the “evidence” presented is ridiculous, largely unverifiable, or just coincidental.
In particular, the dating rumors with Jennie were considered an obsession of a certain toxic segment of ARMYs. This topic was continuously scrutinized online from 2022 all the way until V enlisted in the military. After three years, it seemed like the pairing obsession would finally end—but it didn’t! Once again, he became the subject of dating rumors with the hottest current K-pop female artist, IVE’s Jang Wonyoung.
The news was so surprising that fans couldn’t help but laugh, not understanding how a simple media report led to both of them being linked romantically. Upon investigation, ARMYs discovered that a Douban user, @momo, had compiled a “mαѕѕive” list of supposed evidence that V and Wonyoung were dating.
Naturally, the top evidence on the list was that the two artists were allegedly seen at the same locations multiple times. For example, the OP pointed out that the glαѕѕware, menus, and wood grain in two Instagram photos from the two idols were identical, suggesting they dined at the SAN restaurant in Seoul. Notably, the female idol posted her photo one day after V.
Jang Wonyoung’s Instagram post on July 3 was also cited as evidence, because the marble pattern on her dining table matched the pattern on V’s table. A plate of noodles was included as suspicious, since V had previously mentioned it as his favorite dish from a restaurant just minutes from his home.
Next, other evidence involved personal interests. @momo pointed out that Jang Wonyoung has repeatedly chosen songs that V likes, even suggesting them to fans during a livestream.
Finally, their overlapping schedules in Los Angeles during KCON were also considered unlikely to be coincidental. The list included photos from another restaurant, MOTHER WOLF, where both Jang Wonyoung and BTS members (as seen in RM’s Instagram post) had dined.
As the post circulated, many other Chinese netizens expressed confidence that these were clear proofs of a relationship between V and Wonyoung. They even claimed that it was impossible for so many coincidences to happen repeatedly without verification from those involved.
Meanwhile, international fans, especially ARMYs, expressed frustration at some netizens’ obsession with pairing V with multiple K-pop female artists, now including a 21-year-old idol. They argued that if every place V goes, every meal he eats, or every song he listens to could be considered “dating evidence” if someone else does the same afterward, he would have hundreds of thousands of girlfriends every day—and even ARMYs could generate similar “proof.”
ARMYs reacted humorously to the dating rumor spreading rapidly on social media:
- You said he dating Jennie since 2022 and last week you mentioned it again, also you said he dated IU last month, Sana in the some years ago. and now it's Won Young? Then V must be a time genius, having to date dozens of girls while keeping up with the schedule of a top K-pop star.
