G-DRAGON's team denies dating rumours with TWICE's Sana, sparking fan backlash: 'Nobody even thought about it'
The dating speculation began after a teaser was released for Sana's variety show 'Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview', revealing G-DRAGON as an upcoming guest. Fans were stunned when the BIGBANG star issued a clarification.
BIGBANG's G-DRAGON and TWICE's Sana have recently found themselves at the center of unexpected dating rumours ¡ª and fans aren't taking it lightly. The speculation started after a teaser was released for Sana's variety show "Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview", revealing G-DRAGON as an upcoming guest.
But what truly stunned fans was not the rumour itself ¡ª as such talks keep happening in the K-pop world ¡ª but G-DRAGON's agency¡¯s decision to issue a clarification ¡ª for something many say didn't even exist.
Where did the rumour come from?
On May 30, a teaser trailer for Fridge Interview was dropped, titled "G-DRAGON Came to Hang Out with Two Girls," showing the Bang Bang Bang singer joining Dex and Sana. The playful title and the rare appearance of G-DRAGON on variety TV led to increased chatter online, though nothing substantial pointed to any romantic involvement.

However, things took a strange turn when G-DRAGON's agency released a formal statement denying any dating relationship between him and Sana ¡ª a move that left many scratching their heads.
Agency denies dating speculation
G-DRAGON's team clarified that he agreed to film the show out of friendship with Dex, not because of Sana. They added that Sana's participation was confirmed only a day before the filming, and emphasized that there were no romantic feelings between the two stars.
"G-DRAGON filmed Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview on April 14, the day after the final broadcast of MBC's Good Day. On April 22, TWICE performed as a special guest at Coldplay's concert in Korea."

"The reason he didn't address the dating rumour earlier was because he believed doing so would spoil his surprise appearance on the show."
Fans question the need to address the rumour
The statement, instead of clarifying things, left fans more confused. Many TWICE fans, known as ONCE, expressed disbelief that the dating rumour was even a thing ¡ª and questioned the agency's decision to issue a statement.

One commented, "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!! Why does this man always insert himself into women's business? This isn't the first time." (This came as a reference to his still-undeclared dating rumour with BLACKPINK¡¯s Jennie.)

This fan pointed to the irony: "There were over 9 million views and viral tweets about Kentaro Sakaguchi and Sana looking like a couple ¡ª and still no agency statement. But now we get one for a rumour no one even believed? Make it make sense."
