I really detest people who need company validation for everything

Mmm. I need Hybe to confirm if they are still dating to answer this.

its strange to expect anyone to make "announcements" about their personal lives.

I think there might be a point hidden here somewhere, but the example you chose to use was rather poor (not to mention outdated.) A company typically doesn't confirm or deny dating rumors without first asking the person involved. The confirmation or denial is really coming from them, not the company. Fans were allowed to stew in their delusions over this situation because the two people involved refused to confirm it, not because their companies didn't. They're going to say what the idols want them to say in that situation, which in this case was basically "mind your own business."

I kind of agree as a Company is inhibited by how they represent or PR their Artists but you can pretty much tell when the Company is done with them :P

Also another thing attractive guy and girl around the same age do not just go out and hang out alone that doesn't happen lmao unless one of them is gay but very rarely does that happen. 95% of the time they're an item. To say they could be friends is very weird male and female friends usually hang in groups

I say this even tho I have female friends but we don't go hang out alone because people would talk

does that mean Jennie and BamBam are also dating?

does that mean you've never had dinner with a person of the opposite sex individually?

Hanging out with opposite sex doesn’t mean you should go to bed with that person!

If I consider a girl a friend then she is friend nothing more! If you cannot control yourself then it is your problem!

Jennie literally confirmed it on her IG but V legut acts like he doesn't know her at all, maybe it's not that serious.

Usually it's in groups unless a rare occurrence.

Bambam might just be a one night stand.

But does this actually happen? Do you hang out privately with opposite sex friend alone publicly? That's the the question here.

to answer the question yes to both catch up and publicly

in fact a couple of weeks ago I had lunch with one of my female friends (she is married if that makes or does not make a difference) since I hadn't seen her in a while

Yes I hang out with them! We go to eat at restaurant, we roller skate, we go to library, we go to watch films and etc. I have almost an equal number of female and male friends and I hang out with them both in groups and privately

When iyou create your whole career around creating para social relationships with your fans making them super attached these kinda things should be announced. Not saying Jennie and Lisa done that but v certainly did

But fans should know that's just what idols are doing for work. They are not entitled to their entire lives
