G-Dragon (37) clarified regarding the dating rumor with TWICE member Sana (29) that it was meant to prevent spoilers about her appearance on the YouTube 'Cooling Interview'.
G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, said in an official statement on the 2nd, "We contacted you to clarify misunderstandings regarding the dating rumors that have recently spread about G-Dragon."
G-Dragon watched the concert of the British band Coldplay in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, at the Goyang Comprehensive Stadium on 22nd April. On that day, G-Dragon posted a photo on the social networking service (SNS) showing TWICE member Sana, who appeared as a guest, on a digital billboard and tagged her personal account.
Rumors of a romantic relationship arose after it was mentioned that G-Dragon only tagged Sana among the TWICE members who appeared as guests. As posts were shared across various online communities, G-Dragon deleted the photo.
The agency explained, "G-Dragon filmed the YouTube web entertainment 'Dex and Sana's Cooling Interview' on 14th April, the day after the last broadcast of MBC 'Good Day'. After watching the 'Coldplay concert - Goyang' on the 22nd, he tagged Sana's personal SNS account simply as a sign of affection after the filming when TWICE appeared as special guests on stage."
They also noted, "The 'Cooling Interview' was filmed due to a friendship with Dex, and it was arranged for Sana to appear together the day before the recording," adding, "The reason for not addressing the early dating rumors was that we thought it could be a spoiler for the 'Cooling Interview.'"
