Some things in life are certain: the sun rises, the sky is blue, and if Kim Taehyung so much as breathes near another human being, the internet will drag up old dating rumors like it’s 2021 all over again. Case in point: a short clip from Frieze Seoul went viral this week, showing V posing with Joanna Chun. And like clockwork, the ghost of dating rumors past reappeared.
For veteran ARMYs, this isn’t new—this is lore. The moment Taehyung and Joanna Chun were first seen together years ago, the rumor mill went into overdrive, spinning theories out of thin air and trying to convince the world that a casual moment equaled romance. Fast forward to now, and one viral clip is apparently enough to resurrect the entire saga.
Fans’ reactions split into two camps: newer fans asking “Wait, what’s going on?” and older ARMYs sighing, “Here we go again.” Social media lit up with jokes about déjà vu, some rolling their eyes at the recycled gossip while others reminded everyone that Taehyung can’t so much as stand next to someone without sparking wild theories.
And honestly, the whole thing is laughable. Because if people want to treat every interaction Taehyung has as proof of dating, then by that logic, he’s in about 600 relationships right now—with everyone from staff members to random objects he’s glanced at. Imagine being so magnetic that even museum clips cause chaos. That’s Taehyung’s power.
At the end of the day, this viral clip isn’t scandal, it’s art. Taehyung was at an art fair, posing like the icon he is, and somehow the focus turned into reheated gossip that should’ve been left in the past. The truth is simple: he looked flawless, he made headlines, and people still can’t resist dragging old rumors back into the spotlight.
But ARMYs know better. We’ve seen this story before, we know how it plays out, and we know that no rumor—no matter how viral—can define Taehyung. He defines himself, with his art, his music, and his undeniable presence. The rest? Just noise.
