The romance between Kai and Jennie has once again become a hot topic on Kpop forums as netizens have scrutinized a series of unexpected coincidences. Although they officially broke up at the beginning of 2019, every move of these two popular idols is still enough to make the public question the possibility of a reunion.

In early 2019, Korean media was shaken when Dispatch published a series of photos of Kai and Jennie dating. According to the published information, the two began getting to know each other in October 2018. They had previously appeared together in Paris at Fashion Week, sparking much speculation before the news was officially confirmed.

After the photos were released, both SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment confirmed the relationship. The fact that two members from two top K-pop groups publicly announced their relationship immediately sparked intense debate among fans.

At that time, Jennie had just released her first solo product and was receiving a lot of public attention. Therefore, her relationship attracted even more scrutiny and sparked many conflicting opinions. Under pressure from public opinion and a packed schedule, their relationship didn't last long. At the end of January 2019, representatives from both sides announced that the couple had decided to break up to focus on their careers.

However, even after their breakup, Kai and Jennie's names are still frequently mentioned together whenever coincidences appear. Most recently, rumors of a reunion resurfaced from a video Kai posted on the Bubble platform on February 16th.

In the clip, the male idol records a moment of having a meal with his niece at a restaurant. However, what caught netizens' attention wasn't the meal, but the jacket placed on the chair behind them. Many people commented that the style of the jacket was quite similar to a jacket Jennie had worn and posted on her personal Instagram.

But that's not all; a recent photo Jennie shared of a meal has also been scrutinized. In the picture, the reflection on the metal spoon is believed to faintly resemble Kai's figure. Although the image isn't clear, this small detail was enough for netizens to draw a series of conclusions.

These "pieces of evidence" were quickly compiled and widely circulated on social media. Posts analyzing and comparing outfits, and zooming in on every detail in the photos, appeared frequently, attracting thousands of comments. A segment of fans believed that the repeated coincidences were not accidental, but could be a sign that the two had secretly rekindled their romance.

However, many opinions were more cautious. They argued that the jacket might simply be a common design, and seeing a human figure reflected in the metal spoon could easily be misinterpreted. In a social media environment where even the smallest details are easily amplified, hasty conclusions could lead to unfounded speculation.

In fact, since announcing their breakup in January 2019, both Kai and Jennie have focused on their individual artistic careers and rarely discussed their private lives with the media.
