G-Dragon Addresses Dating Rumors with TWICE’s Sana Amidst ‘Übermensch’ World Tour

Clarifying the Sana Speculation: A Social Media Misunderstanding

On June 2, G-Dragon’s agency Galaxy Corporation officially responded to the dating rumors involving TWICE’s Sana, which had been circulating for six weeks. The speculation began after G-Dragon shared an Instagram Story from the April 22 Coldplay concert in Goyang, featuring TWICE’s special guest performance. Notably, he tagged only Sana’s personal account and captioned it with a cryptic “Eh?” in Japanese, which many interpreted as flirtatious. The post was quickly deleted, but screenshots fueled widespread rumors.

According to the agency, G-Dragon had recently filmed the YouTube variety show Fridge Interview with Sana and Dex on April 14, the day after MBC’s Good Day aired its final episode. The post tagging Sana was merely a “friendly gesture” reflecting their camaraderie from the shoot. The agency added that they initially chose not to address the rumors to avoid spoiling the upcoming episode of the show. (Soompi 2025)

Renewed Speculation with Lee Joo-yeon: A Pattern Repeats

While the Sana situation was clarified, G-Dragon remained silent on a new wave of rumors linking him to former After School member Lee Joo-yeon. The renewed speculation arose after Joo-yeon posted an Instagram Story on April 27 showing a cat on a black sofa, with wall art and mirrors resembling the interior of G-Dragon’s previously shared home. Adding fuel to the theory, fans noticed the cat wore a pink scarf identical to one previously seen on G-Dragon’s own pet.

This is not the first time the two stars have faced dating rumors. Since 2017, G-Dragon and Joo-yeon have been repeatedly linked by netizens, with each party typically dismissing the rumors as unfounded. This time, however, neither YG Entertainment (G-Dragon’s former agency) nor Billions (Joo-yeon’s agency) has made an official denial. Billions simply stated, “It’s difficult to confirm as this concerns the actress’s private life.” (Allkpop 2025)

World Tour Continues: Spotlight Returns to Music

Despite the tabloid buzz, G-Dragon’s career remains as strong as ever. His 2025 Übermensch World Tour, launched in March, has been a critical and commercial success. The tour began with two sold-out shows at Goyang Stadium and will span 11 cities across Asia and Oceania, including Osaka, Macau, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Sydney.

This tour supports G-Dragon’s latest album Übermensch, his first full-length studio release in 12 years. The album, released on February 25, is praised for blending existential themes with boundary-pushing production. Tracks such as “Ascend” and “Digital Monk” highlight his evolution as both a performer and philosopher-artist. (Wikipedia 2025)
