Shinsegae denied Chinese media reports that singer G-Dragon and Shinsegae Group Chairman Lee Myung-hee's granddaughter are in a relationship, calling it an "obvious misinformation."
Shinsegae said on the 10th, “It is not true at all,” and added, “As reckless speculative reporting continues beyond a simple incident, we have decided to make an official statement to correct the wrong information.”
The day before, Chinese media such as Sina Entertainment raised a dating rumor, saying that G-Dragon attended a performance with Chairman Lee's granddaughter. Chinese media presented a photo of a woman and a man holding the same lightstick and pointed out that the man was G-Dragon and the woman was Chairman Lee's granddaughter.
This official added, “After checking with the person, he attended the performance with several people (not just two) and he only took the photo and uploaded it as a fan of (G-Dragon),” adding, “We ask that you refrain from making any more reckless and speculative reports.”
In relation to this, G-Dragon's agency, YG Entertainment, did not make any statement.
