“No dating with Kim Go-eun” G-Dragon, when will he make a comeback?

Singer G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong) has denied dating rumors with Kim Go-eun (23), a former Miss Korea, and is working hard with the goal of making a comeback this year.

On the 11th, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, told Ten Asia, "G-Dragon and Kim Go-eun are not lovers," and "they are brothers and sisters with overlapping acquaintances."

Previously, suspicions of a romantic relationship between G-Dragon and Kim Go-eun were raised on the Internet, citing the fact that the backgrounds in the photos released by the two overlapped. Additionally, they were spotted together watching the PSG game held at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Japan in July last year, drawing attention to their relationship. Kim Go-eun, who was rumored to be dating G-Dragon, is 12 years younger than her and is the winner of the 2022 Miss Korea pageant.

Meanwhile, in response to a question about G-Dragon's comeback, a G-Dragon official said, "We are working towards a comeback this year," and added, "We will share issues related to the comeback or album as soon as they are resolved." He added, “We are also continuing to promote the previously announced Spear performance in Las Vegas, USA,” and added, “The performance will be after the comeback.”

Meanwhile, in January, news that G-Dragon was working on music was reported through Japanese X-Japan member Yoshiki's SNS. At the time, Yoshiki wrote "recording in my studio" and tagged his name and G-Dragon. In addition, Yoshiki released two photos taken with G-Dragon, leading to speculation that Yoshiki might be participating in G-Dragon's new album.

Fans' wait and thirst for G-Dragon's new music has been long overdue. The most recent album released under G-Dragon's name is 'Kwon Ji-Yong', released in 2017.
