G-Dragon dating history: Exploring his rumoured relationships

G-Dragon and Jennie of BLACKPINK

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.

G-Dragon and Kim Go-eun

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.”

G-Dragon and Kiko Mizuhara

More than a decade ago, G-Dragon found himself at the centre of romance speculations with Japanese model Kiko Mizuhara. The rumours surrounding the two lasted five years, fuelled by glimpses of them hugging or being intimate with each other at several locations, including Paris. After their not-so-private rendezvous, the two apparently decided to part ways and remain friends.

G-Dragon and Taeyeon

In 2015, a tabloid portal stated that Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and G-Dragon were in love with each other, adding that Taeyeon reminded the BIGBANG member of his first love. The two allegedly gave hints about their relationship via social media, posting similar content and wearing ‘couple shoes’, according to Kpopstarz. Soon enough, both their agencies quashed the rumours but fans continued to gossip even in 2016.

That’s all for the relationships and dating history of G-Dragon.
