Why are BTS' Jin and BLACKPINK's Jisoo being ‘shipped' by fans? Delulu mode gets activated with alleged proof
Both Jin and Jisoo have long been regarded as visual icons in the K-pop world. So when fans noticed them sporting remarkably similar plaid shirts around the same time, imaginations ran wild. Social media quickly exploded with light-hearted theories.
Jin and Jisoo's matching checked shirts
Jin is currently in the middle of his solo RUNSEOKJIN_EP. TOUR. During one of his recent shows, Jin appeared on stage in a casual but eye-catching outfit. He wore a checkered shirt paired with a straw hat.
Around the same time, Jisoo shared a carousel of off-stage snapshots from BLACKPINK's ongoing DEADLINE world tour. Among the photos, fans couldn't help but notice her laid-back checked shirt. Though not identical to Jin's, it looked strikingly similar in pattern and vibe. That's all it took! A side-by-side comparison made its way onto TikTok, and from there, the shipping storm began.
Matching plaid outfits spark fan-made Jin-Jisoo dating theories
The TikTok video quickly gained views, showing clips of Jin and Jisoo in their respective plaid outfits with captions jokingly implying a hidden connection. Fans flooded the comments with jokes and exaggerated 'investigative' takes, pretending to connect imaginary dots between the two idols.
One fan jokingly urged fellow "delulus" to rise, playfully declaring that they had found a perfect match. Others tagged their friends, laughing over how K-pop fans can turn even the smallest details into a full-blown fantasy narrative. Some even joked that 'K-pop detectives' needed to get involved.
No real Jin-Jisoo romance, just fans being 'delulu'
Despite the sudden surge in chatter, there's no truth to any actual dating rumors between Jin and Jisoo. Fans know it's all just for fun. It's a light-hearted way to engage with their favorite idols through harmless fan content and imagination.
In fact, many commenters acknowledged the absurdity of it all, calling out their own 'delulu' behavior. In fandoms, 'delulu' is a tongue-in-cheek term used to describe moments when fans dream up romantic or dramatic scenarios involving their favorite stars. They do so fully aware that it's all fictional.

‘Hot Priests': Vatican's New Move To Attract Young Followers
Last Updated: With congregation numbers declining worldwide, over 1,000 priests and friars have been invited to Rome as part of this fresh push. The Vatican is going viral—and no, it is not your typical church message. The Church is now using 'hot priests' with a sizable social media following to connect with younger generations and spread the message of faith online. With congregation numbers declining worldwide, over 1,000 priests and friars have been invited to Rome as part of this fresh push. The idea? Use Instagram, TikTok and other social media platforms to spark interest in religion, especially among the youth. Father Giuseppe Fusari Take Father Giuseppe Fusari, for instance, a 58-year-old priest from Brescia, Italy, who is also a bodybuilder. With over 60,000 followers on Instagram, Fusari regularly posts photos flexing his tattooed biceps alongside spiritual reflections. His posts are a perfect balance of strength and soul, drawing attention from followers aged between 25 to 55. Fusari believes that social media is a powerful tool 'to bring people closer to the Church." Father Cosimo Schena Then there's Father Cosimo Schena, known as Italy's most beloved priest. His warm, compassionate presence online has helped nearly double the size of his real-life followers. With more than 454,000 followers, Father Schena's posts include it all – from Bible quotes to pet adoption requests, bringing together kindness, community and faith. Father Ambrogio Mazza Father Ambrogio Mazza, a guitar-playing, bike-riding priest also makes it to the list. He has over 460,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. Loving life with joy and style, he continues to inspire fans who describe him as 'elegant," 'cool," and even 'beautiful." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Don Ambrogio Mazzai (@ Interestingly, this is not the first time the Church has resorted to looking to maintain its reach. A 2022 calendar featuring handsome Roman priests earlier went viral globally and reportedly sells over 75,000 copies every year. The late Pope Francis long emphasised the power of social media in reaching global audiences but it was his successor, Pope Leo XIV, who fully embraced it. With nearly 19 million followers, he is often seen promoting digital faith-building. Simply put, while the Vatican's new viral mission might raise some eyebrows for their muscles, music and meaningful messages, these 'hot priests' are giving a whole new look to spreading the message of faith in the 21st century.
