"We would like to clarify that the dating rumors between G-DRAGON and Lee Joo-yeon, about which suspicions have been continuously resurfacing recently, are not true"

The claims resurfaced in late April after Lee uploaded a snapshot featuring a silver-toned cat on her social media platform. Fans noted the backdrop arrangement, which bears a resemblance to G-Dragon’s residence.

The feline itself also drew comparisons to the male K-pop idol's Abyssinian pet, Iye. Many online users pointed out a notable detail, a fluffy pink item around Lee Joo-yeon's cat’s neck.

They highlighted its likeness to a Chanel accessory often seen on Iye in the past. This fueled speculation that the photo might have been taken in G-Dragon’s residence. Now, netizens are sounding off on social media, stating that G-Dragon seems to be linked to a new woman every other day.

"Who will be the next female idol to be subjected to the hallucinations and delusions of gd and his company," an X user commented.

This is not the first time the two celebrities have faced such reports. Speculation initially began in 2017, when both parties explained that they shared a close friendship. Similar rumors emerged again in 2019 (twice during that year) and once more after alleged sightings of the pair on Jeju Island appeared in media outlets.

"Another one bye😭😭😭😭😭😭," a netizen said.
"So now we have GD with Han So-hee rumor, Jennie rumor, Sana rumor and Lee Joo Yeon rumor 🥱," a viewer noted.

"A few days ago he was rumored to be dating sana and now joo yeon. Any guesses for next week?," another fan added.

Numerous people are blaming the Korean press for constantly fueling relationship gossip about G-Dragon. They claim the media often links him to women without proof.

"How about kmedia stay away from GD coz they are the one making those dating rumours. These people just open their mouths without any knowledge that kmedia are practically making all those rumors since idk 2010? They just link every girl they want to GD. Why would GD waste his time releasing statement if it wasn't a big deal in Korea. Use some brains. Oh I forgot you don't have one," a fan remarked.

"It's still funny that the media seem so homophobic, because strangely G-Dragon can spend three minutes with a woman, they will say that he is in a relationship with this woman, but when we see him spending days and evenings with another man... NO ARTICLE" a user mentioned.
"The media doesn't realize that this is starting to get a little too ridiculous. Every day he has to deny the rumor that he's in a relationship with a woman," a person shared.

G-Dragon recently appeared on Fridge Interview, a YouTube talk show led by Dex and Sana. In a June 5 episode, the former BIGBANG artist opened up about his ideal type, saying he goes by vibe more than looks or fashion.

He prefers "cat"-like features, doesn’t mind height, and values emotional connection over personality traits. The 36-year-old also joked about dreaming of a performance-style or "underwater wedding."

The interview gained attention since it came soon after the dating rumors. In May 2025, dating buzz between the two picked up after the Übermensch star only tagged Sana’s handle in a now-deleted Instagram story.

It was posted during Coldplay’s Seoul gig, where TWICE also took the stage as a guest performer. Though the story disappeared quickly, fans noticed. Online chatter around the post gained traction.

However, on June 2, his agency dismissed relationship speculation involving TWICE’s Sana, explaining the mention was casual.


Lee Joo-yeon and TWICE’s Sana — G-Dragon have earlier been involved in relationship speculation with other K-celebs such as Mizuhara Kiko, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Komatsu Nana, and BLACKPINK’s Jennie.
