BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BIGBANG’s G-Dragon are once again at the centre of dating rumours, over a year after they were initially linked. On July 16, 2024, speculation began doing the rounds that the two K-pop icons reconciled secretly in August 2023. Netizens pointed out that Jennie and G-Dragon were spotted wearing matching items, including rings and scarves.
G-Dragon has been seen liking numerous photos of Jennie and reportedly gifting her various items, according to Kpopstarz.com. This follows a 2021 report by Dispatch that first revealed Jennie and G-Dragon were dating, though their relationship lasted just over a year. Now, their possible reunion has again left social media excited.
Since August 2023, Jennie and G-Dragon have frequently been caught wearing matching rings. In June, Jennie hosted Billie Eilish’s listening party in Seoul, while G-Dragon made an appearance at a KAIST technology talk show. Both were noted wearing identical rings during these events.
Further fuelling the rumours, earlier this year, Jennie and G-Dragon caused a stir after side-by-side photos of the two sporting matching rings went viral. Jennie had posted a photo of herself wearing a set of rings in August last year, while G-Dragon was seen with similar rings when he faced police questioning over drug use allegations in November 2023.
In February, Jennie’s YouTube vlog showed her wearing a scarf similar to one G-Dragon wore at a party with celebrities earlier in the year. G-Dragon’s recent social media activity, including likes on Jennie’s photos and videos, has not gone unnoticed. He liked posts about Jennie’s appearance on “Lee Hyo Ri’s Red Carpet” talk show and supported her new agency ODD ATELIER in December 2023.
Online communities are abuzz with discussions on whether Jennie and G-Dragon have rekindled their romance. Some netizens are convinced the stars are dating again, while others believe these are mere coincidences. Both Jennie and G-Dragon have yet to release statements addressing these latest rumours.
