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.
