BTS V And IVE Wonyoung Face Backlash Over Age Gap Dating Rumors

BTS’s V is facing backlash over renewed dating rumors with IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, as netizens focus on their age gap.

The controversy began when V posted a photo of waffles on May 1. About ten hours later, Wonyoung shared a video eating a chocolate waffle, captioning it, “Today’s dinner recommendation, chocolate waffle and delicious coffee.”

Fans quickly reacted to the timing, reigniting speculation about a possible relationship. This isn’t the first time the two have been linked. Previous “evidence” includes visiting the same Seoul restaurant on consecutive days, posting photos of the same noodle dish, overlapping schedules in LA during KCON, and Wonyoung attending BTS’s ARIGANG world tour concert in Goyang alone, without any fellow IVE members.

Neither agency has commented, and nothing has been confirmed. The rumors rely heavily on circumstantial overlap that’s hard to prove.

As the situation unfolded, many netizens pushed back, pointing to the significant age difference between V and Wonyoung as a reason to dismiss the rumors. Some called the speculation a stretch.

“There won’t be an official statement.”

“People have too much time on their hands.”

“Think about the age gap between Wonyoung and V… Dating? lol leave Wonyoung alone.”

“Think about their age difference, stop forcing a connection, go touch some grass.”

“Lmao, seeing this get upvoted shows how see-through it all is~”

“The waffle thing is genuinely such a stretch lol.”

“It’s not like they’re the only two idols posting similar vibes on Instagram the same day..? Without a photo of them together, I’m not buying articles like this.”

For now, the rumors remain unconfirmed, with fans divided over the validity of the dating speculation.
