BLACKPINK's Jennie and GOT7's BamBam were caught in America. 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. BamBam released his 3rd mini-album "BAMESIS" last month and has been active.
