Indian Express5 days ago
BLACKPINK's Jennie recently sat down for a fun chat with YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date and made some exciting confessions about her take on love, life, and her ideal type. The South Korean rapper has often been linked to fellow K-pop stars over the years. While Jennie herself has always stayed tight-lipped about her dating life, this time she did admit that she considers herself a very romantic person and is usually the one to take the first step. The Ruby singer also confessed that she's a big believer in love at first sight.

During the 10 minute quick chat, the singer was asked if she's a romantic person, to which she replied, 'I consider myself to be very romantic.' When asked in what way, she added, 'I like to surprise my date.' On what could be the best compliment she'd give someone, Jennie said she doesn't like people easily, so when she does, she tells them that, according to her, could be taken as a compliment. Jennie was also quizzed on how often she gets a love hangover, and she playfully said, 'Maybe every other weekend.' She admitted she's not a fan of those hangovers, but she can't really avoid them either.

In South Korea, idol culture often keeps stars from being too open about their dating life, but fans were glad Jennie was so candid. Later in the chat, when Amelia asked if she believes in fate, Jennie said, 'I do,' but followed it up with, 'Fate has disappointed me.' She added it's less now, and she's back to deciding her own fate. When asked if having a crush excites her, Jennie said, 'I haven't been on a date in a very long time, so this is exhilarating.' As for her ideal type, she shared, 'I don't like cute guys. Sexy guys don't know they're sexy, but cute guys know they're cute.' And when asked if she'd date someone with no rhythm, Jennie replied, 'Rhythm is so important. It's everything. I don't want to date someone who's so stiff.'
Jennie's dating life has always been a hot topic. The singer was first reported to be dating EXO's Kai during her debut era. They publicly dated from October 2018 to January 2019, with SM Entertainment confirming the relationship at the time. Old clips still resurface online showing the two stealing glances at public events. When the Chicken Shop Date host asked Jennie if she believes in love at first sight, Jennie replied, 'That's been my life,' adding, 'I know instantly whether it's gonna work or not.' Fans felt she might've been hinting at one of those times where her romance fizzled before turning into a fairytale ending. She was also linked to BIGBANG's G-Dragon. More recently, she's been rumoured to be dating BTS' Kim Taehyung, aka V. Fans have pieced together clues, but neither side has ever confirmed anything. Reports say they parted ways in 2024 before V enlisted for military service. On the work front, she's back with her fellow BLACKPINK members Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. The group, still under YG, kicked off their Deadline World Tour earlier this month.

Osaka Ojo Gang wins World of Street Woman Fighter Season 3 over AG Squad; fans cry nepotism as TWICE Momo's sister takes the crown

On July 22, 2025, Osaka Ojo Gang took home the championship title on World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) Season 3, beating out fierce competitors AG Squad and Motiv in a live finale aired by Mnet. Exuding stage-commanding energy, the Japanese crew captivated the judges and studio audience alike with their powerful final performance. The crew's artistry and charisma earned widespread praise as many highlighted how far they had come over the course of the season. For many viewers, their finale routine sealed the deal, but online, the debate was just beginning, with many alleging that AJ Squad was the real winner. Fans rally behind AG Squad The moment Osaka Ojo Gang was announced as the winner, social media users were left stunned, as many felt that AG Squad, who had consistently delivered technically flawless and emotionally gripping performances, had clearly earned the top spot. One fan tweeted, 'Ag squad really carried the whole season just to end up like Jam Republic…' Y'all not tired of snubbing the real winners?" ag squad really carried the whole season just to end up like jam republic… y'all not tired of snubbing the real winners 😭 "Honestly, I didn't need the AG squad to win 1st place because their superior performances and sheer work ethic during the show speak for themselves. They're a winner in my eyes, and that's all that matters," another wrote. honestly I didn't need ag squad to win 1st place because their superior performances and sheer work ethic during the show speak for themselves, they're a winner in my eyes and that's all that matters! 🫶🫶 #WSWF #WSWF3 Some fans even speculated that the decision leaned into Mnet's push for global appeal and that Osaka Ojo Gang's international popularity might've tipped the scales. The sentiment wasn't universal, but it was loud and persistent. Why are fans crying nepotism? Adding to the controversy, some netizens are now crying nepotism, pointing to the fact that TWICE member Momo's older sister, Hana Hirai, is part of the Osaka Ojo Gang. The connection drew even more attention when several TWICE members, including Momo, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Nayeon, and Sana, showed up at the WSWF finale in support of the crew. While their presence lit up the crowd and added star power to the event, some fans are questioning whether the group's K-pop ties may have influenced the outcome. ' "Wdym a crew who wins almost all missions got lost to a crew who never wins even one? Oh, I hate nepotism. If it's SWF 2, I get it since Bebe wins on some missions too, but this? Meh," said one user. wdym a crew who wins almost all missions got lost to a crew who never win even one 🙂‍↔️ oh i hate nepotism. if swf 2 i get it since bebe wins on some missions too, but this? meh TWICE members and Daehwi spotted on the finale of WSWF. #WSWF AG Squad vs. Osaka Ojo Gang: two very different journeys AG Squad had one of the strongest track records this season. They came out on top in several missions, including the demanding Mega Crew challenge, and consistently impressed judges with clean execution and detailed choreography. Their elimination battle earlier in the show showcased just how fierce and prepared they were, making it all the more shocking when they didn't walk away with the title. Osaka Ojo Gang, on the other hand, gained momentum later in the season. Their Dance Film Mission performance—which racked up over 2.5 million views and 330,000 likes—helped cement their status as crowd pullers. Led by Kyoka and Ibuki, their finale routine leaned more into stage presence and emotional impact than technical perfection. That choice clearly worked for the judges, who emphasised storytelling and transformation in their final evaluations. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Park Bo Gum and IU shook the entire nation and the K-drama world with their portrayals in When Life Gives You Tangerines. Having maintained a close friendship since, the two speak highly of each other at every chance they get, including today when the songstress-turned-actress decided to surprise him by appearing during the final shoot of the show he hosts, The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile. Her kind act moved him to tears and became a happy memory for everyone who witnessed it. IU proves her true friendship with Park Bo Gum In a video clip from the set of the music program, IU could be seen in a video saying, 'As much as it's your last shoot of The Seasons, I wanted to congratulate you via this video message. When you had your first broadcast, I said that I would definitely appear on the show. I apologize for not being able to keep my promise to be a guest.' Park Bo Gum can be seen shaking his head at her sorry feelings, assuring her that it's okay. 'I'm really, really sorry. But you know my heart's sincerity and that I watched the broadcast almost every week right? You were the best as an MC. I was able to enjoy singer Park Bo Gum, performer/ musician Park Bo Gum, so it was great. You were really amazing on Cantabile. I'm so sorry about not appearing that…I'm here.' And in came IU, hiding her face behind a flower bouquet, which she presented to him, getting down on her knee and patting his back. The GOOD BOY actor could be seen getting teary-eyed as she introduced herself as his friend, making the audience chant 'don't cry'. IU spoke about wanting to keep it as cheerful as possible and did not expect him to choke with tears, to which he replied in disbelief, 'What are you doing? [here]' She shared how she was waiting a long time for her turn and managed to somehow find time amid her busy drama filming schedule. Park Bo Gum added how he did not want to pressure her by asking her to come to his show during their recent meeting at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards, so this was an unexpected surprise for him! The crowd erupted in cheers for the warm moment.
