While fans were still grappling with the unexpected news of Jung Ho-yeon’s breakup with her (almost) decade-long partner Lee Dong-hwi, G-Dragon‘s social media activity involving the actress gained attention. According to an article by 10Asia (via Koreaboo), the BIGBANG member was found to have liked two of Jung’s Instagram posts from November 25, 2024. Given that G-Dragon doesn’t follow her on Instagram, and vice versa, this action seemed to convey that he was trying to ‘make a move’ on her.

An on-and-off romance between the K-pop powerhouses, Jennie and G-Dragon’s relationship always stirs headlines. The K-pop artists were first linked in 2021 following a Dispatch report revealing their relationship status. A year later in May 2022, he unfollowed Jennie on Instagram, promoting breakup rumours. What happened between the two remains unknown.
However, their romance doesn’t end here. Earlier in 2024, media reports claimed the two were rekindling the flame. According to rumour mills, the stars got back together in August 2023, and have been dating since. Sightings of the duo in similar attires, sporting matching rings on multiple occasions led fans to believe about the potential reunion. Speculations arose when fans spotted Jennie wearing a scarf in a YouTube vlog earlier this year, a strikingly similar item that G-Dragon wore at a celebrity gathering. Coincidence? Maybe not.
While some netizens are convinced about their romance, others have dismissed it as mere happenstance.

Another recent dating rumour surrounding the artist was his alleged romance with Miss Korea runner-up Kim Go Eun. In July last year, the duo was spotted at a soccer match in Osaka, Japan, leading fans to churn out gossip. Netizens also spotted G-Dragon’s friends interacting with Kim on Instagram, signalling that they indeed were a couple.
However, after months of speculation, G-Dragon’s agency finally released a statement. According to Soompi, a representative of Galaxy Corporation stated, “G-Dragon and Kim Go Eun are not in a romantic relationship.” The clarification continued, “She is merely a dongsaeng (younger friend or sibling) that he knows and her social circle overlaps with his.”
