Move over Beyonce and Jay-Z because 2019 already has a new pop power couple.
EXO bandmember Kais, 24, agency officially confirmed he is in the early stages of dating BLACKPINKs Jennie, 22, on Tuesday in the ultimate K-pop crossover and fans are totally shipping it.
Jennies name was trending worldwide on New Years Day when pictures of the Eiffel Tower on their respective Instagram pages linked them to a romantic weekend in Paris back in October.
Fans went wild with speculation, as further pictures were released by Korean news outlet Dispatch showing the couple hanging out over the festive season.
And then came the confirmation from Kais agency SM Entertainment, who told K-pop website Soompi: Kai and Jennie have become fond of each other.
Fans from all around the world shared the support for the romance, despite being a little sad that Kai was off the market.

As well as their success in Asia, it was considered that 2018 was the breakout year for BLACKPINK in the UK.
The girlband, featuring members Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa, collaborated with British popstar Dua Lipa on Kiss And Make Up back in October.
And now their team at YG Entertainment has partnered with Interscope Records, a label under Universal Music, to help the girls make their US debut.
The girlband told Metro.co.uk in December: We are granted the opportunity to showcase what weve built so far to a bigger audience. Feels like a dream, but we will keep working and doing our best as we have done so far. Please be on the lookout!
Meanwhile, boyband EXO were already winning in the pre-sales market before releasing their fifth album in November.
