Today (19th), photos of Jennie and BamBam taken by paparazzi in America were released, attracting attention on online communities and social media. The two had a meal together at a famous Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. Their manager was also present at the venue. This restaurant is known to be a favorite spot not only for Jennie but also for other BLACKPINK members like Rosé. They were caught leaving the restaurant after finishing their meal. Jennie was wearing a cropped leather jacket, while BamBam was wearing a branded shirt and a hat. They were seen walking side by side, talking and showing bright smiles, creating a friendly atmosphere. Jennie posted a selfie taken on the same day on her Instagram. This sighting led to some speculation about a romantic relationship. In response to the reports, a representative from Jennie's side told OSEN, "The dating rumors with BamBam are unfounded," explaining, "They just met in America and had a meal as part of their usual interactions. The dating rumors are absolutely not true." Recently, Jennie signed a partnership with Columbia Records in America and is set to make a comeback with a solo single in October, her first since the special single "You & Me" released last October.
