It didn’t just stop there! Following a series of leaked photos showing Jennie and the “Dynamite” singer being lovey-dovey in public, Twitter user @gurumiharibo supposedly went a step further.

The photo was also reposted by a Twitter user known as @accx_kim.
That said, YG Entertainment remains silent about this matter. As a result, many fans have called for the company to protect the privacy of their artiste.
