Earlier this week, clips of the BLACKPINK members using the N-word in pre-debut videos surfaced online.
Allegedly Leaked Videos Of BLACKPINK Saying The N-Word Surface Online
The videos have been connected to a user on Discord by the name of YG Leaker who claims to be a former employee of the company with access to not only YG Entertainment’s files, but other K-Pop entertainment companies’ information as well. Some of the information that has been released so far has quickly been debunked, including alleged photos of BTS‘s V and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie.
In a new post, Korean netizens commented on the alleged “leaked information,” stating it sounds like bad fanfiction and is likely all made up. The rumors are as follows:
1. BTS’s V and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo are best friends.
2. Red Velvet’s Irene and Seulgi are on bad terms.
3. BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Lisa are on bad terms.
4. The Weeknd* fell in love with Jennie (*T/N: Literally translated as “weekend”)
5. BLACKPINK’s Rosé is in love with ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo.

6. V-Kook (BTS’s V and Jungkook) isn’t real.
7. ITZY’s Yuna is dating a 3rd gen boy group idol.
8. BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s V broke up at the end of 2023.
9. BTS is coming back in July or August.
10. BLACKPINK’s Jennie dated EXO’s Kai from 2018 to 2019.

Netizens found the information to be unreliable — and quite funny.
- “There are so many lies that it’s impossible to believe any of it. LOL. And the parts that are actually true aren’t even leaks—they’re just things too many people already know.”
- “LOL that person is seriously unhinged.”
- “Looks like they just pieced together random rumors to make this up. There’s no difference between this and the crazy posts on Nate Pann.”
- “Weekend?* (*T/N: Translated literally) LOL are they talking about The Weeknd? V-Kook is so damn funny. LOL”
- “The fact that it starts with Irene and Seulgi already makes it completely unreliable.”
- “LOL this is hilarious.”
- “Even the photos they posted of K-pop idols are sketchy. No thanks.” (Debunked photo evidence)
