K-pop star Kai of EXO goes public over romance with BLACKPINK’s Jennie
The lead dancer of the boy band, 24, and the girl group member, 22, confirm the news on New Year’s Day – after rumours of a relationship began in October
Two K-pop stars – Kai from boy band EXO and Jennie of girl group BLACKPINK – went public with news of their romance on New Year’s Day.
However, YG Entertainment, the agency managing Jennie, 22, also known as Jennie Kim – which previously denied rumours that the two stars were romantically involved – said it had been unaware of their relationship.
One online entertainment news report featured photographs taken by the paparazzi showing Kai driving to Jennie’s home near Hapjeong subway station in Mapo-gu District in Seoul on November 25.
Jennie was also pictured getting into Kai's black car and they slowly driving off.
They headed to the nearby Sky Park, where Kai parked the car and helped Jennie get out. They then strolled while holding hands. They were also spotted taking a picture together during their walk.
Jennie, who released her first solo single SOLO last November, was pictured with Kai wearing beanies, checked scarves and dark-coloured coats.
One report said both were often seen wearing Converse sneakers with the backs dog-eared – hinting that their matching shoes were an expression of their romance.
