According to the blog’s writer, she stated that the two were definitely dating. They even hinted at their romance through the lyrics of Boy With Luv and Psycho. Some discussions have been brought forward to prove the “deeper meaning” of their parts in their respective tracks.

In detail, the lyrics crooned by V from BTS is translated as “Your beautiful photos, I always keep them under the soft pillow ~ oh bae”. Meanwhile, Irene sang an English part: “I’m originally visual”.

According to the conspiracy theory of the fan, “bae” implies Irene as her real name is Joo Hyun Bae, while the “vi” in “visual” actually means “V” and “I” which are their name’s initials. Also, “sual” means healing in Korean. The writer pertained that V was actually alluding that he wants to keep all pictures of Irene.

The truth to Kim Taehyung and Irene rumors

That sounds about right, but a lot of Korean netizens have said that this is the most ridiculous claim they have ever read. Many requested the writer to stop hallucinating as there is no correlation between these lyrics.

Moreover, both of the idols did not participate in composing or producing these songs. That means this claim is even more unreliable.

Some comments from the netizens have collected a lot of likes from others.

“Hilarious. If this is proof to dating rumors then K-pop would have discovered hundreds of other couples.”

“In Cypher Pt. 4, RM sang “bae” for 18 times. Does that mean he is also dating Irene?”
