In Korea, it isn’t surprising to see idols being embroiled in “dating rumors” if they are seen to have similar social media activity and similar profile pictures.
That is what has happened to BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo!

Recently, Jisoo sparked shock after changing her Instagram profile picture to a black-and-white shot of herself, something fans had never seen before.

Yet, netizens couldn’t not notice that it now matched singer Zayn’s profile picture that was also in black and white.

Hilariously, netizens started bringing up dating “rumors,” because in Korea and the K-Pop industry, it isn’t unheard of for idols to be alleged to be in a relationship due to similarities in their profile pictures. Many even added, “It only means one thing in Korea,” alluding to this stereotype and making jokes about it regarding Jisoo and Zayn.

Netizens also joked that the two “reposting” and “sharing” each other’s stories on Instagram is also “proof.”

Of course, it is all done lightheartedly, and it seems like Jisoo and Zayn are really pushing the collaboration that has recently been announced.
