Singer G-Dragon (GD, real name Kwon Ji Yong) and actress Lee Joo Yeon have once again been caught up in dating rumors. Recently, rumors of a romantic relationship between G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon surfaced on online communities. On the 27th, Lee Joo Yeon posted a selfie on her Instagram. Netizens claimed that the background in the photo resembled the interior of G-Dragon’s house. In the photo, Lee Joo Yeon was sitting on a black sofa with a cat, looking at the camera. Netizens pointed out similarities between the sofa, background, and frame placement in the photo with G-Dragon’s house. They also noted that the cat was wearing a similar scarf to G-Dragon’s pet. Previously, the two were involved in dating rumors in 2021 as well. In May 2019, Lee Joo Yeon uploaded a video on her Instagram with G-Dragon, which sparked dating rumors. Although Lee Joo Yeon deleted the video immediately, suspicions of a relationship between her and G-Dragon arose. From 2019 to April last year, dating rumors about G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon surfaced four times, but G-Dragon’s agency, YG Entertainment, remained silent. Lee Joo Yeon’s agency, Mystic Story, also stated, “It is difficult to confirm the actor’s private life.” Lee Joo Yeon, born in 1987, is 38 years old, and was active in After School. G-Dragon, born in 1988, is 36 years old. In response to the recent dating rumors, G-Dragon and Lee Joo Yeon have chosen to remain silent once again, leaving fans and the public curious about their relationship. Lee Joo Yeon has been involved in dating rumors with G-Dragon in the past, so this incident shows a similar pattern to previous ones. The impact of this incident on the K-POP and Hallyu market is not yet clear, but the fact that their agencies are minimizing mentions related to their private lives is drawing attention.
