Recent details about the outing of V and IU have surfaced.
On May 15 KST, photos of BTS member V and singer IU dining at a luxury restaurant in Seoul gained traction online. Initially speculated to be a private meal, it has since been revealed that they were joined by 2 AM‘s Seulong and another female acquaintance.
While fans expressed excitement over the gathering of these two K-pop icons, some negativity surfaced regarding the nature of their meetup. Fans highlighted their past collaboration in IU’s music video “Love Wins All” but questioned the speculation of a romantic date.
Following the latest revelations, many netizens shared their thoughts online:
“Ah, turns out it was with acquaintances lololololol.”
“Even in a post like this, people are being creepy…”
“I figured there were other people from the start — V kept glancing to the side.”
“LOL controversy over.”
“Even just eating with acquaintances on a birthday turns into a controversy lol.”
“I really don’t get why this became such a big deal. It was probably a shared gathering to celebrate both V finishing his service and IU’s birthday. What are people even doing, trying to stir things up when the female celeb is already openly dating someone else?”
“Seriously feels like people are paparazzi… How far are they going to go over someone eating a meal? They’ll never realize they’re the ones who are seriously messed up.”
“Fr, she’s publicly dating someone else, but these delusional shippers and forced narratives need to be put in a hospital.”
“Exactly. And again, she’s in a public relationship. Seriously, what is wrong with people?”
“For real… actual fans were just joking around like ‘Taejun and Ji-hye hanging out lol’… What even is this?”
“Yeah — when I saw people talking about it being her ‘birthday’ (which it isn’t) and ‘Rose Day’ and stuff… it was seriously creepy lololol.”
