Jade and Mingyu Announce Their Relationship: A Love Story Unveiled During Milestone Events

The world of K-pop was abuzz last night as Blackpink's Jade and SEVENTEEN's Mingyu confirmed their relationship in a heartwarming and unexpected way. The announcement came as both idols celebrated major career milestones, with Jade performing at Blackpink's Born Pink concert in Thailand and Mingyu attending the Golden Disc Awards, where SEVENTEEN took home the prestigious Album of the Year award.

Fans were caught by surprise when both Jade and Mingyu posted similar photos on their respective Instagram accounts around the same time. The posts featured candid shots of the two, one showing them at what seemed to be a quiet dinner together and another where their hands were making a heart, accompanied by simple captions:
    •    Jade: "In motion, always."
    •    Mingyu: "Grateful for every moment."

While fans initially speculated about the meaning behind the posts, the real shock came during Mingyu's acceptance speech at the awards show.

As SEVENTEEN received the Album of the Year award, Mingyu stepped up to the microphone to thank those who supported him. Towards the end of his heartfelt speech, he made a surprising and touching revelation:

"First, I want to thank my SEVENTEEN brothers for always being by my side and inspiring me to work harder. To CARATs, you are the reason we stand on this stage, and your love and support mean the world to us. Lastly, I want to thank my girlfriend, Jade, for being my constant source of strength and encouragement throughout this year. Thank you for always believing in me."

The crowd erupted in cheers, with Mingyu's members playfully teasing him as he stepped off the stage.

Fans who hadn't yet seen the Instagram posts were left stunned, while others took to social media to express their joy and surprise at the couple's announcement. Both Jade and Mingyu have been known for their dedication to their craft and their fans, and this reveal adds a new layer to their public personas.

One fan commented, "I never expected this, but seeing Mingyu so confident and respectful about their relationship is heartwarming. They deserve all the happiness!" Another wrote, "Jade performing in Thailand and Mingyu at the awards—what a way to announce! They really made it memorable."

While fans are celebrating the couple's reveal, their respective agencies—YG Entertainment for Jade and Pledis Entertainment for Mingyu—have yet to release official statements. Speculations about how long the two have been dating are already circulating, but most fans are focusing on the overwhelming positivity surrounding their announcement.

As Jade continues to captivate audiences on Blackpink's Born Pink tour and Mingyu celebrates SEVENTEEN's success, fans are eager to see how this new chapter in their lives unfolds. For now, the industry is applauding their courage to share their relationship so openly, marking a rare and refreshing moment in the world of K-pop.

This is such a beautiful surprise! Seeing Mingyu thank Jade during his speech made me tear up. They look so happy together!

Mingyu should focus on SEVENTEEN instead of dating. This is disappointing as a CARAT.

OMG, they're such a power couple! Talent, visuals, and now love? I'm so happy for them both!

I'm happy for them, but I wish they had chosen a different time to announce it. It overshadowed SEVENTEEN's big win.

If you're a true fan, you'd support their happiness. They're not doing anything wrong by dating.

Jade deserves all the happiness in the world. Mingyu seems like such a sweet and respectful guy. Wishing them all the best!

Jade's always in the headlines for everything but Blackpink. She's using this for clout.

I'm still processing this, but as long as they're happy and it doesn't affect their work, it's fine.

When two hardworking idols find happiness together, that's something to celebrate! Congrats, Jade and Mingyu!

It's their life, and I respect that. But I hope they're prepared for the backlash, especially from toxic fans.
