Dispatch Reports BIGBANG G-Dragon and BLACKPINK Jennie are in a Relationship + YG Entertainment Releases Statement
The two artists, who are both under YG Entertainment, first worked together for the music video of G-Dragon's "That XX" in 2012. Many fans may be familiar with this as this is one of Jennie's pre-debut works. The BLACKPINK member was then featured on the BIGBANG member's song "Black" the following year. Eight years have passed since then, and according to Dispatch, the two K-pop idols appear to have established something more than just senior and junior labelmates.

According to Dispatch, close friends of the two said that a lot of people at YG know that BIGBANG G-Dragon and BLACKPINK Jennie are dating. Even the female idol's mother knows about their relationship and she is grateful to the male artist for taking good care of her daughter.
Following the report, YG Entertainment officially commented on G-Dragon and Jennie's dating news. The company stated, "It is difficult for the agency to confirm the relationship news between G-Dragon and Jennie as it is the private lives of our artists. We ask for your understanding."
Acquaintances of Both G-Dragon and Jennie Comment on Their Dating News
In the afternoon of Feb. 24, an exclusive report from SPOTV was issued, sharing the opinions given by the close friends of both the BIGBANG member and BLACKPINK member. One acquaintance stated that G-Dragon and Jennie were not hiding their relationship and that they introduced each other to their friends as their boyfriend and girlfriend. The two K-pop idols would even meet up together with their friends as a couple. "I think it was burdensome for the two to admit their relationship, considering their different personal situations," Friend 1 added.

Another acquaintance shared another reason why it might be hard for G-Dragon and Jennie to confess they are dating. Friend 2 explained that it won't be easy for the two stars to acknowledge their relationship since they are in the same agency and are known to be a junior-senior within the same industry. "I don't think they don't want to be called 'G-Dragon's girlfriend' or 'Jennie's boyfriend,' which may happen if they would confirm their relationship," Friend 2 continued.
Assuming BIGBANG G-Dragon won't verify his dating news with BLACKPINK Jennie, it would not be the first time as he has not publicly confirmed any of his rumored relationships before, including with actress Lee Joo Yeon. In the past, the "Fantastic Baby" singer appeared in Radio Star and talked about relationships. At that time, he revealed that he believes that it is not something he is obliged to let the public know.

"It's a personal issue, whether to confirm or not a relationship, but if the other party is a celebrity, I think the potential damage will be much higher from the viewpoint of the female. The public does have the right to know, but I don't think I am obliged to make it public," G-Dragon explained.
