At the time, GD posted mirror selfies and keen-eyed fans noticed that it coincided with the posts made by the beauty queen, who also took photos at the same elevator and building.

With this, speculations of a romantic relationship erupted, with claims that the said "couple" watched the game together and are doing "lovestagram."
The "girlfriend" in question is Kim Go Eun, a 2000-born beauty queen, model, and actress. The 23-year-old personality made her name known for her striking beauty, which led her to be crowned as a runner-up at the "2022 Miss Korea" beauty pageant.
A year has passed but the rumor is still ongoing; thus, Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency, told the K-media:
"G-Dragon is not in a relationship with Kim Go Eun. The two are just close friends with an oppa-dongsaeng (sibling-like) relationship. I hope you don't misunderstand."
An industry insider also added that their circle of friends overlapped since Kim Go Eun also knows a lot of people from the entertainment industry, which explains their sightings together.
