Both haven't posted anything on social media since the news broke out. All the other blackpink girls posted rolling stones cover and article except Jennie. It will be interesting to see if Jennie will post her individual interview with rolling stones or not. V meanwhile has his phases of being too active or inactive so his absence on social media is reasonable enough. But isn't it weird his absence phase coincides with this rumor.
If the news is false and the leak is fake, why aren't they going on their usual stuff? I don't expect them to confirm if it is true but doing the unusual like going mia is only making people believe rumors even if it is false. They don't need to say anything but it is better to do your regular activities regardless the rumor is true or not or if they are just friends.
If they are waiting for situation to boil down then it's a wrong decision. Both are big enough for their next activity to get traction. Whatever they do next on their socials is gonna get attention even if they go underground for a month.
