A viral video from Tyler, The Creator's concert has ignited dating rumors between BTS member V and star choreographer Lee Jung, prompting intense fan reactions across social media.

Choreographer Lee Jung is facing a flood of comments on Instagram demanding clarification about alleged romantic involvement with BTS's V (Kim Taehyung) after videos surfaced from Tyler, The Creator's September 2025 concert at KINTEX in Ilsan.

What Sparked the Rumors

The speculation began when social media videos showed V and Lee Jung appearing to glance at each other before quickly looking away once people seemed to recognize them at the concert venue. The brief interaction was captured on camera, with some fans interpreting V's body language as romantic interest.

However, counter-arguments emerged suggesting V may have actually been looking toward James, a member of HYBE labelmate group CORTIS, who was also present at the show, questioning the validity of the dating claims.

Lee Jung: Rising K-Pop Choreography Star

Lee Jung (born August 9, 1998) is a 27-year-old South Korean choreographer currently signed to The Black Label. She gained initial recognition as the first female member of renowned dance crew Just Jerk before achieving mainstream fame through Mnet's "Street Woman Fighter" in 2021.

Notable choreography credits include:

  • TWICE: "Fancy," "Feel Special," "Break Through"
  • BLACKPINK: "Pink Venom," "Shut Down" (2022)
  • ITZY: "Wannabe," "ICY"

She has also served as a dance trainer for top idols including Jeon Somi, TWICE's Nayeon and Momo, and BLACKPINK's Rosé.

Previous Connection with V

The two artists have collaborated professionally before, with Lee Jung describing their relationship as being "connected through dance" in a July 2025 interview. In June 2025, shortly after V's military discharge, they garnered attention for participating in a couple dance challenge together.

Fan Response and Social Media Backlash

Lee Jung's Instagram has become divided between fans demanding answers, those voicing approval or opposition to a potential relationship, and others calling for restraint against baseless speculation. The situation has particularly drawn attention from both BTS's ARMY fandom and BLACKPINK's BLINK fandom, with some reports indicating harassment through hate comments and videos.

Context of BTS Dating Rumors

This incident occurs amid ongoing speculation about V's personal life, as he was previously linked to BLACKPINK's Jennie through photos and videos that surfaced between 2022-2023, though neither party confirmed any romantic relationship.

As of September 17, 2025, neither V nor Lee Jung has officially addressed the current rumors, while the controversy continues to generate discussion across K-pop fan communities online.
