Blackpink’s Jennie admits she is hopeless romantic, says ‘fate disappointed me’; opens up about her ideal type

BLACKPINK Jennie on love at first sight

During the 10 minute quick chat, the singer was asked if she’s a romantic person, to which she replied, “I consider myself to be very romantic.” When asked in what way, she added, “I like to surprise my date.” On what could be the best compliment she’d give someone, Jennie said she doesn’t like people easily, so when she does, she tells them that, according to her, could be taken as a compliment. Jennie was also quizzed on how often she gets a love hangover, and she playfully said, “Maybe every other weekend.” She admitted she’s not a fan of those hangovers, but she can’t really avoid them either.

In South Korea, idol culture often keeps stars from being too open about their dating life, but fans were glad Jennie was so candid. Later in the chat, when Amelia asked if she believes in fate, Jennie said, “I do,” but followed it up with, “Fate has disappointed me.” She added it’s less now, and she’s back to deciding her own fate. When asked if having a crush excites her, Jennie said, “I haven’t been on a date in a very long time, so this is exhilarating.” As for her ideal type, she shared, “I don’t like cute guys. Sexy guys don’t know they’re sexy, but cute guys know they’re cute.” And when asked if she’d date someone with no rhythm, Jennie replied, “Rhythm is so important. It’s everything. I don’t want to date someone who’s so stiff.”

BLACKPINK Jennie’s dating timeline

Jennie’s dating life has always been a hot topic. The singer was first reported to be dating EXO’s Kai during her debut era. They publicly dated from October 2018 to January 2019, with SM Entertainment confirming the relationship at the time. Old clips still resurface online showing the two stealing glances at public events. When the Chicken Shop Date host asked Jennie if she believes in love at first sight, Jennie replied, “That’s been my life,” adding, “I know instantly whether it’s gonna work or not.” Fans felt she might’ve been hinting at one of those times where her romance fizzled before turning into a fairytale ending. She was also linked to BIGBANG’s G-Dragon. More recently, she’s been rumoured to be dating BTS’ Kim Taehyung, aka V. Fans have pieced together clues, but neither side has ever confirmed anything. Reports say they parted ways in 2024 before V enlisted for military service. On the work front, she’s back with her fellow BLACKPINK members Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. The group, still under YG, kicked off their Deadline World Tour earlier this month.
