This is just my honest thoughts.
My non-sense theory about their dating rumors in Paris (You guys can freely ignore it, don't believe it then leave)
1. Yg and Hybe are the masterminds of all this chaos. They made them do a fake dating so they would get a lot of attentions from media and people.
2. We all know in 2022-2023, when BTS starts to mind their own solos and doings, we can witness BTS& BLACKPINK direct interaction which never ever happened in past years of them being an idol.
3.The whole dating rumors are suspicious because both companies are playing safe, They are like "We don't have anything to say about this matter", "We should respect people's privacy". Why won't they straight deny it or confirm it so that people won't get confused as hell?? Or it is because of their intentions?? Using them?!
4. Why would in the middle of the night, there would be a fan of Bts there walking as around and just holding a Taehyung's Elle magazine?! Woah!
5. Why don't they wear mask like we expect them to do that, because they know how popular they are. Of course, people will start crowding them then.
6. The way the man(they suspected as Taehyung) turned around like he's waiting for the cameraman to filmed them.
7. Taehyung is a private person. He wouldn't just let public know about his lovelife and family. We all know him. He wouldn't just walked like he don't care about his girlfriend's safety from his obsessive fans. That he is ready to reveal his girlfriend in the middle of night out of all days?!
Call me in-denial but this are just my honest thoughts. But when the confirmation comes, and they confirmed it directly that they are dating. Then respect them. We aren't in the position, we are just fans.
