Is G-Dragon Dating Lee Joo Yeon? BIGBANG Member's Agency Responds To Rumours
Last Updated: Galaxy Corporation released a statement saying that the dating rumours are 'not true'. Once again, BIGBANG's G-Dragon is making headlines, not for his music, but for his personal life. The K-pop idol got caught in dating rumours with former After School member Lee Joo Yeon for the fifth time. Their online activity sparked buzz about their relationship. This time, eagle-eyed fans noticed the background of a photo posted by Lee Joo Yeon, which seemed to resemble the interior of G-Dragon's home. This was enough to get the rumour mill running again. And, like always, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, responded to the latest murmurs. They denied any such involvement of their artist with Lee Joo Yeon. In a statement released on Friday, June 6, as quoted by Soompi, the agency stated, 'We are informing you that the dating rumours that have been spreading about G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon are not true. Thank you." Rumours about G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon's romantic relationship first started in 2017 due to a few videos that they had shot together. Those were uploaded to the former After School member's account on an app called Kwai. In the clips, G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon mimicked some lines from SBS' variety show called Oh! My Baby. When those clips surfaced on social media, fans immediately started speculating that the two were more than just friends and they had something romantic going on. Later that year, fresh rumours claimed that the two vacationed together in Hawaii, which was eventually denied by their agencies. Back then, the BIGBANG member's agency, YG Entertainment, clarified that the pair was in Hawaii for an event, which was joined by their other acquaintances as well. In 2018, G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon were back in the spotlight. This time, Dispatch reported that the two celebrities spent some quality time together on Jeju Island, where they stayed for four days. A year later, a short video posted by Lee Joo Yeon sparked the buzz once again, and it also featured the BIGBANG member. The two were playing with a filter on some photo application. She quickly deleted the video upon realisation. The agencies of both the artists have continued to deny the rumours. Speaking of G-Dragon's work front, the 36-year-old idol, whose real name is Kwon Ji Yong, released his third studio album, titled Ubermensch, in February. It was his first album in 12 years, as well as his first since leaving YG Entertainment. After releasing the album, he embarked on a tour, Ubermensch World Tour, which began in March in South Korea and is scheduled to end in August in Hong Kong. As for Lee Joo Yeon, after she left her group After School, she focused more on acting projects. She was seen in Reply 1994, The Undateables, Oh! My Ghost, and others.

Influencer sisters, 15 and 20, shot dead on beach as killers make jet ski getaway
Influencer duo Maria Beatriz dos Santos, 20, and Bianca dos Santos, 15, were brutally gunned down on a busy beach in Brazil - their attackers reportedly escaped via jet skis Tributes have poured in for two sisters who were shot dead on a beach in front of their horrified friends as the attackers fled the scene. Maria Beatriz dos Santos, 20, and Bianca dos Santos, 15, had been spending some time with their pals in Brazil on May 1. They were standing by the edge of the sea when a group of men stormed the beach. The pair, who are both influencers and make videos together, were gunned down by the armed men. The gang members then fled the scene on jet skis, according to reports. Maria tragically died at the scene while Bianca was raced to a nearby hospital. Despite the medics' best efforts, she later died from her injuries. Police investigating the brazen shooting suspect that it was carried out by members of the Red Command - a Brazilian criminal organisation. However, it remains unclear what the motive was behind the shooting. The sisters have a huge following online, with Bianca holding 1.5 million followers on the social media platform Kwai. Maria is best known on Instagram, having boasted more than 43,000 followers. The terrifying shooting happened in Fortaleza, which is the capital city of the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará. Bianca's boyfriend, Antônio Victor Araújo Ferreira, shared his heartbreak over the death of his girlfriend on social media. In a video which appears to have since been deleted, an emotional Antônio, who is known online as Moskou, shared that Bianca was pregnant. He explained that the pair hadn't had the chance to tell anyone. "No one knew [of the pregnancy ],' he said. "Only me and Bia knew that. She suspected she was pregnant, and it seems that she already was.' Police continue to investigate the deaths.
