Black pink dating

The continued rise of K-Pop is probably one of the few good things to come out of 2020. Fans the world over go crazy for the studio-created boy and girl groups, but the life of a K-Pop star can be brutal. For starters, the stars usually start training as children. They spend years in specialized programs that teach them dancing, singing, and stage presence, but graduation is no guarantee of success — few trainees go on to become stars, per BBC.

These days, the two most "it" K-pop groups out there are undoubtedly the all-girl group Blackpink and the seven-member boy band BTS. In August 2020, BTS and Blackpink released dueling music videos for their respective singles, "Dynamite" and "Ice Cream." BTS' "Dynamite" video seemingly paid tribute to the '70s, while "Ice Cream" featured Selena Gomez and followed the members of Blackpink as they rap/sang their way through a life-size candy land. BTS racked up more than 100 million views in 24 hours, and "Ice Cream" garnered just over 79 million views in the same amount of time. 

There was definitely a little competition between the groups, but it was all in good fun. The feeling was so friendly, in fact, that rumors started to swirl that Lisa from Blackpink and Jungkook from BTS were an item. Additionally, Film Daily reports that the two "have been spotted together a few times," further fueling romance rumors. A relationship between Lisa and Jungkook seems unlikely for a few reasons, but fans are still holding out hope.
