Rumor – Fans claim that BTS members Jimin and Jungkook confirmed a relationship and even marriage in viral social media posts
Analysis
The South Korean group BTS, a global K-pop phenomenon, is constantly involved in rumors about the personal lives of its members. Among the most frequent speculations is the idea that two of the most popular members, Jimin and Jungkook, are a couple. The story gained traction with TikTok videos, fan page posts, and even alleged “news” claiming the two are married — with versions circulating in multiple languages and platforms.
These contents go viral especially due to the creativity and engagement of fan communities, who practice what is called “shipping” — rooting for two artists as if they were a couple. In the case of Jimin and Jungkook, the tag “Jikook” gathers thousands of pieces of content, including fanfics, video edits, and romanticized rumors shared as if they were real. See two examples of such stories:
Version 1: Jimin and Jungkook finally go public: fans find out BTS members are not only dating but have secretly married. Sources close to the artists reportedly confirmed the relationship after years of speculation. The news allegedly leaked from a K-pop profile that shared photos and coded messages which, according to fans, indicate the couple has been together for years.
Version 2: JIMIN AND JUNGKOOK CAME OUT AS AN LGBT COUPLE AND IS DISPATCH BEHIND IT? THE RINGS ARE REAL! Version 3: K-POP BOMB: LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE CONFIRMATION OF JIMIN AND JUNGKOOK’S MARRIAGE IN KOREA #jikook #jimin #jungkook
Fact-check
If this story has been circulating for a while, it’s time to debunk it. Let’s fact-check by answering a few questions for both casual and dedicated fans: 1) Who are Jimin and Jungkook? 2) Are Jimin and Jungkook from BTS a couple who confirmed dating and marriage? 3) Who are the romantic partners of the BTS members?
Who are Jimin and Jungkook?
Jimin and Jungkook are members of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), a South Korean music group created by Big Hit Entertainment. Jimin, whose full name is Park Ji-min, was born in 1995 and is a dancer and vocalist in the group. Jungkook, or Jeon Jung-kook, is the youngest member (born in 1997) and is considered the “golden maknae” — a Korean term for someone talented in many areas.
The group rose to global fame with hits like “Dynamite” and “Butter,” and the two are known to be very close on and off stage — which fuels fans’ interest in their relationship.
Are Jimin and Jungkook from BTS a couple who confirmed dating and marriage?
No. There is no official statement that the two are a couple or married. The posts claiming so are based on fan fiction and “shipping” content, which are very common in K-pop culture. The term “Jikook” — a combination of “Jimin” and “Jungkook” — includes thousands of fictional stories that romanticize their friendship.
Websites like Dispatch, known for exposing real celebrity relationships in Korea, have never published any evidence that the two are romantically involved. The rumors spread through imaginative posts, edited videos, and subjective interpretations of public interactions.
Who are the romantic partners of BTS members?
To this day, none of the BTS members have publicly confirmed any romantic relationship. This is partly due to the South Korean entertainment industry culture, which preserves the image of artists as single, and the company’s desire to keep the group’s focus on their careers. Despite various rumors involving idols and celebrities, none have been confirmed. Therefore, any information about the romantic relationships of Jimin, Jungkook, or other members remains speculative with no concrete basis.
Conclusion
Rumors about a romantic relationship or marriage between BTS members Jimin and Jungkook are unfounded. They originate from fictional fan-made content, and there is no official confirmation or evidence to support these stories. This is yet another case of a fanfic going viral on social media.
