"Will V Talk About Jennie on 'You Quiz'?" Reporter's controversial article sparks fan backlash

On August 30, it was reported that BTS' V will appear on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block.'

The 'You Quiz on the Block' production team announced that V had already completed filming for the new episode, and it is scheduled to air on September 6.

Although all the members of BTS appeared as a group on 'You Quiz on the Block' back in March 2021, this is the first time a member will be making a solo appearance on the program. As the first BTS member to appear solo on 'You Quiz on the Block,' V will share stories about himself.

With the announcement of V's special appearance on 'You Quiz on the Block,' one particular journalist from Sports DongA has sparked a controversy among K-netizens and fans. 

The reporter wrote, "In particular, there is anticipation regarding whether he will mention the dating rumors with BLACKPINK's Jennie, which caused a stir in the media for a while. He is also expected to talk about his individual activities apart from BTS, as well as his future plans during his military hiatus." Moreover, the reporter titled the article "BTS V appears on 'You Quiz'...Will he mention BLACKPINK's Jennie?"

The reporter irked many netizens for mentioning V's dating speculation with Jennie ahead of his first individual activities. Many felt the reporter diverted the attention away from V's solo activities and weighed in on his dating rumors by mentioning it before all else.

Netizens commented, "Trash reporter is at it again," "Do you think the two of them will even address that issue?" "What nonsense are they talking about?" "Wow the aggro with this reporter is real," "This is a trash reporter but I am also curious, lol," "What's with the article title?" "You think?" "The title of the article is so garbage," "If you were him, would you mention her?" "Wow, this reporter is just the worst," and "But 'You Quiz' does mention celebrities' partners a lot though."
