The members of BLACKPINK, one of the most prominent K-pop groups globally, are not just known for their exceptional talents and stunning visuals, but also for their captivating personal lives. This year, the love lives of Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo have been the subject of much speculation and intrigue. Here's a rundown of their confirmed and rumored relationships in 2023.
Jennie has been linked to BTS member V, real name Kim Taehyung, since 2021. The rumors resurfaced when photos of them on an alleged trip to Jeju Island in 2022 went viral. The speculation intensified when a video seemingly showing Jennie and V holding hands while on a date in Paris, France, circulated online. Both HYBE and YG Entertainment, their respective music labels, have indirectly denied the rumors, stating they do not interfere with the artists' private lives.
Rosé, on the other hand, was rumored to be dating Kang Dong-won earlier this year. The two were spotted sitting next to each other at a party with former Burberry executive Riccardo Tisci in Los Angeles. Despite fans' speculations, YG Entertainment debunked the rumors and urged fans to stop spreading "unfounded rumors" on the internet.
Lisa, the group's main dancer, was rumored to be dating Tag Heuer CEO Frédéric Arnault. The two were allegedly spotted on several occasions together, including a dinner date in Paris. The 28-year-old LVMH heir also allegedly attended BLACKPINK's concerts and Coachella performance this year. Neither party has confirmed or denied these rumors.
Finally, Jisoo, the group's lead vocalist, confirmed her relationship with South Korean actor Ahn Bo-hyun in August. Dispatch revealed photos of the couple near Jisoo's apartment in Seoul, South Korea. The stars' respective agencies, YG and FN Entertainment, confirmed the rumors, stating, "They are getting to know each other with positive feelings. We would be thankful if you look upon them with warmth."
As the members of BLACKPINK continue to dominate the music scene, their personal lives remain a topic of interest for fans worldwide. Despite the rumors and speculations, the members continue to focus on their careers, proving their dedication to their craft and their fans.
