“I specify that this video dates from before yesterday and that I posted it today so that they are not bothered,” Taoualit wrote. “The quality is bad because I didn’t plan to see them in front of me and I didn’t have my camera, I was walking around in Paris and so I filmed on the iPhone.”
Dating speculation between Jennie and V dates back to when V briefly followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram,Ellereports. Photos reportedly of the two then surfaced online in May 2022, with Jennie’s agency YG Entertainmenttelling press at the timethat it had “nothing to say. We will inform you if we have a different response to share.”
In October, YG reportedly releaseda statement, revealing that it had “refrained from mentioning the matter or making an official statement in order to minimize any further damage” and that it had taken legal action against those sharing “malicious posts, or those which repeatedly upload unconfirmed claims.”
“The photos [of Jennie] distributed online were made public illegally, without Jennie’s consent,” the statement read. “Sharing those images is an act of secondary victimization and can be subject to legal penalty. Please refrain from indiscriminately sharing those images.”

As much as it took me a while to finish the song, I cherish it so much and it means a lot to me.”
