Moon Seo Yoon's Dating Speculation With BIGBANG G-Dragon Draws Attention
Since she was often spotted with YG artists before, Moon Seo Yoon wasn't able to avoid dating rumors, especially when netizens found out about her closeness with G-Dragon.
In January 2023, GD and Moon's dating speculation started when Chinese media, including Sina Entertainment, reported,
"G-Dragon watched the Mnet 'Street Man Fighter' concert with Moon. Moon released a photo of herself holding a YGX light stick with G-Dragon on her personal account."
In the released photo, G-Dragon was seen holding a light stick while covering his face with a black beanie hat and sunglasses. In response, Chinese netizens raised rumors of their romantic relationship.
As soon as the rumor spread, an official from Shinsegae was quick to deny the rumor and stated:
"The dating rumor is not true at all.
As reckless speculative reports continued beyond simple happenings, we decided to make an official statement to correct the wrong information.
As a result of asking for permission, she watched the performance with several people Since (Moon) is a G-Dragon fan, she took a picture and uploaded it."
At the time, YG Entertainment also denied the rumor, saying:
“The dating rumors between Moon and G-Dragon are not true.”
As YG Entertainment is known for its ambiguous position of saying, "We can't confirm it since it is their private life," the fact that they denied it made the romance rumor end in a neat and clear way.
