BTS V Dating IVE Wonyoung Rumors Sparked by aespa Karina’s Past Relationship

BTS’s V and IVE’s Wonyoung are at the center of a viral dating rumor—but fans are not buying it.

The controversy began when a post claiming V and Wonyoung are secretly dating started circulating online. The “evidence” cited by the post quickly drew backlash for being absurd. Even aespa’s Karina got dragged into the mix.

The post points to Wonyoung mentioning Clazziquai’s “Romeo and Juliet” on Bubble, a paid messaging app where idols chat with fans. The song was the theme for MBC’s We Got Married, so the post suggested Wonyoung was hinting at a relationship—and even marriage.

I’m listening to Clazziquai’s Romeo and Juliet right now. This song is so good. [Oppa,] listen to this song and think of me. Wrap up your day thinking of me.

The theory stretched further by comparing this to Karina recommending the same song on Bubble in February 2024. Three days later, Dispatch confirmed Karina was dating actor Lee Jae Wook. The post implied Wonyoung was doing something similar.

Despite the post going viral with over 50,000 views, netizens slammed the rumor hard.

Fans flooded the comments with reactions like:

“Get yourself to a hospital…”

“They’re not dating, get lost.”

“You’re posting and commenting all over the place… You seem genuinely unhinged. That rumor started in China ages ago, the person who spread it got exposed and publicly destroyed, and the whole thing was put to rest. Nobody else thinks this, yet here you are, endlessly fighting a battle in your own little world all by yourself…”

“You’ve been spamming the exact same post everywhere.”

“Talking absolute nonsense, shut up.”

As the situation unfolded, it’s clear fans reject the dating claims between V and Wonyoung, calling the “evidence” baseless and the rumors long debunked.
