BIGBANG G-Dragon's Clarification About His Dating Rumor With BoA Resurfaces
On May 12, a post titled "GD's explanation at the time of [his] and BoA's dating rumors" was made on the online community Nate Pann.
For starters, G-Dragon was embroiled in rumors of having a romantic relationship with BoA back in 2002, when he still hadn't made his debut as a BIGBANG member. At that time, G-Dragon was becoming popular as a YG Entertainment trainee. He was only 14 years old during that period, while BoA was 16 years old.
It is said that the two had many things in common, such as beginning their trainee lives early as a child. Later on, their relationship developed from friends to lovers. It is known that before G-Dragon joined YG Entertainment, he was a trainee at SM Entertainment, where BoA also trained and remained an artist until at present.

He further explained, "That's it. That's all that I mean and I'm sorry if it made you feel bad. Please think about the feelings of the person that each of us truly likes."
He concluded his post saying, "Also, I'm practicing hard to show you good performances at YG. I'm still young, so please look forward to me. That's all I want to say."

Netizens who saw this post for the first time expressed their shock on how BIGBANG G-Dragon cautiously addressed his dating rumor with BoA. The male idol is renowned for being secretive when it comes to his love life after he debuted in the boy group. He has never spoken up despite being involved in dating rumors several times in the past. Hence, netizens are surprised to know that he once responded to his dating rumor.
In addition, G-Dragon's charm felt through his past statement also caught the attention of netizens as it is completely different from his current image.
Among the comments of netizens are:
"So Kwon Jiyoung (G-Dragon's real name), who always keeps things mysterious, also has a past like that? How amazing!"
"GD, you really had a romantic relationship at the age of 14?"
"His way of speaking was a bit childish. This is so interesting."
"The part where he said he had grown up a lot sounds so funny."
Meanwhile, BIGBANG G-Dragon's latest dating rumor is with his labelmate BLACKPINK Jennie, which was reported in February of last year. Nothing has been clarified as of this writing, hence, it is uncertain whether the rumor is true or not.
