BLACKPINK increases the 'distance' with BTS amid Jennie's dating noise - VU

While fans are constantly stirring up because of the idol's dating news, the two "kpop giants" YG Entertainment and Hybe have yet to make an official statement regarding V and Jennie's love case.

According to information from Blackpink's management company, YG Entertainment, the girls' MV "DDU-DU DDU-DU" has surpassed 1.9 billion views as of July 3. This helps them maintain the achievement of being the only K-pop group with an MV to achieve this feat.

Blackpink has not released a new product for 2 years, but with old songs, they still achieved good results.

Specifically, 4 years since its release on June 15, 2018, "DDU-DU DDU-DU" surpassed one billion views for the first time in November 2019. Up to now, the MV has just reached 1.9 billion views. YG Entertainment predicts that this MV will reach a record milestone of 2 billion views this year.

Among Korean artists overall, MV views of "DDU-DU DDU-DU" are only behind Psy's global hit "Gangnam Style" (currently 4.4 billion views). But as the music video of a K-pop group, "DDU-DU DDU-DU" tops the chart. This is the first time that the MV of a K-pop group has achieved this "huge" achievement.

Another Blackpink MV that is also having a high number of views is "Kill This Love". This MV has 1.6 billion views. The total number of views of Blackpink's videos on YouTube is 32 billion views. While BTS still has no MV to reach the milestone of 1.9 billion views.

Currently, Blackpink still maintains this achievement on YouTube. This shows that even though they don't release new products, with old hits, Blackpink continues to cause a global fever.

This time, V (BTS) and Jennie (Blackpink) are under suspicion of secret dating. Up to now, this topic is still of special interest to the online community.

A month ago, people were in an uproar at the photo that is believed to be V driving Jennie on a secret date in Jeju Island. Even airline staff released the couple's flight details. The fact that the two companies did not speak up, along with a series of extreme moves by G-Dragon, made many netizens think that Jennie really broke up with the leader of BIGBANG to join the male god BTS.

The couple also revealed other dating evidence, which is check-in at a little-known clothing store in Los Angeles, USA.

Not long after the dating news broke, V and BTS members went to Incheon airport to depart for the US to meet President Joe Biden.

Here, people discovered that V was wearing a pair of Chanel earrings, coincidentally, Jennie used to take an advertising photo for these earrings. This coincidence caused a stir among the people. Many people think that this is proof that V and Jennie are a couple because in the past, the male idol did not wear earrings to the airport. In the midst of being the center of discussion, it is impossible that he just accidentally wore the same earrings as Jennie.

On an online community forum, the online community discussed the incident:

"He must have known that all eyes would be on him, because it's his first time in public since the dating scandal. So it was funny when he showed up with the phone. earrings from the line modeled by Jennie".

"It's like it's just to announce that everything is real and people need to acknowledge them? On top of that, they say that V has never worn earrings before."

"He doesn't actually wear earrings when he goes to the airport, so I don't think this is a media ploy or coercion. And is wearing Chanel directly related to the current scandal? He can neither admit nor deny it, but I don't like it because it feels like [they don't/he] don't seem to want to lose (the public)."

"This intense battle is legendary."

Meanwhile, other commenters shared:

"I'm not a fan but aren't these explanations a bit forced? Just because of that, V isn't even allowed to wear Chanel products?"

"This is scary... the way people are talking about V and Jennie in ways they've never done before..."

"I think it's a bit forced because this item isn't even a couple item"

While fans are constantly stirring up because of the idol's dating news, the two "kpop giants" YG Entertainment and Hybe have yet to make an official statement regarding V and Jennie's love case.
