G-Dragon of Big Bang recently garnered attention for liking and then swiftly unliking a stage video of Jennie, an artist with whom he has previously been linked in dating rumors. The incident, as reported by Xportsnews, involved a performance video of Jennie at the 40th Golden Disc Awards, held at Taipei Dome in Taiwan on the 11th.
G-Dragon’s ‘like’ on the video immediately drew significant attention, given his past dating rumors with Jennie. Although he quickly removed the like, fans swiftly captured and shared screenshots, rapidly spreading the news online.
G-Dragon and Jennie, both formerly under YG Entertainment, had been the subject of multiple dating rumors, often fueled by public sightings. However, their agency at the time maintained that their private lives could not be confirmed, a response that only intensified speculation.
The incident sparked various interpretations online. While many considered it a mere mistake, concerns also surfaced, as this was not his first social media gaffe.
He previously liked a controversial social media post about actor Kim Soo-hyun’s appearance on MBC’s variety show “Good Day.” He later unliked it, which sparked rumors of a falling out between the two. In another instance, G-Dragon tagged only Sana of TWICE in his post about attending a Coldplay concert, fueling further dating speculations.
These social media activities also brought to mind past incidents, such as those involving luxury brand Miu Miu and posts featuring Jang Won-young and aespa’s Karina, all of which had previously drawn concerns.
Known for frequently liking posts, G-Dragon has previously denied using an automated ‘program’ for these interactions, emphasizing genuine communication instead. Despite his stated good intentions, his repeated unintentional mistakes have left a negative impression.
Even when he quickly retracts his likes, netizens often capture and share these moments, leaving a permanent digital footprint. This has raised concerns about the need for greater caution, given his significant public influence.
