A massive list, originating from user @momo on the Chinese social media platform Douban, is now viral online as alleged “proof” of BTS‘s V and IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung dating.
According to the list, V and Jang Wonyoung have supposedly hinted at their relationship by posting pictures from the same locations. For example, the picture from IVE Jang Wonyoung’s Instagram from Seoul’s SAN Restaurant is alleged to have captured the same glassware, menu, and wood grain on the table as the picture from BTS’s V—posted a day apart.
Jang Wonyoung’s Instagram post from July 3 is also alleged to be proof, as the marble pattern on the dining table matches that of the dining table at BTS V’s house.
In fact, the noodle dish on the plate pictured is also considered a hint, as V once mentioned it being his favorite menu from a restaurant only minutes away from his house.
金泰亨❤️张元英???
两次餐厅和歌单尚且还能解释,金泰亨家里的大理石桌算实锤了吧。。。#金泰亨 #김태형 #TaeHyung #テテ #BTSV#张元英 #장원영 #Wonyoung #ウォニョン #IVE pic.twitter.com/hiUlsgJwhw

Additional proof, like the fact that Jang Wonyoung chose to use specific songs recommended by V during a live broadcast, is thought to hint at a romantic relationship between the two K-Pop superstars.
Their overlapping schedules in Los Angeles during KCON are also being seen as not coincidental. The list includes pictures from another restaurant, MOTHER WOLF, where both Jang Wonyoung and BTS members (as seen in RM‘s Instagram post) have dined.
Online comments, especially from Chinese netizens, are rather convinced that the pictures align enough to be considered real proof of the alleged relationship.
While the scandal grows online, neither party involved has addressed the allegation.
Stay tuned for updates.
