Who is G-Dragon?

Kwon Ji-yong, also known by his stage name G-Dragon is a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer, and also referred to as the “King of K-pop.” He was trained for six years, before joining the hip hop boy group, BIGBANG. He debuted in 2006 as the leader of the K-Pop band, which is one of the best-selling boy bands in the world. He is widely recognised for his influence on youth culture, fashion trends, and music. In 2016, G-Dragon was named by Forbes as the most influential person under 30 in Asia’s entertainment and sports.

G-Dragon and Jennie have been label mates for more than a decade and have worked together over the years, before Blackpink’s debut in 2016. Jennie also appeared in the music video for G-Dragon’s single That XX in 2012, and the following year; she featured on the song Black from his album Coup d’Etat.

Fans In Shock!

In the K-Pop industry, the revelation of a romantic relationship can often have a negative impact. Besides, K-Pop agencies are known for ensuring that they keep their recruits focused on nothing but their professional practice and avoided any chance of distraction from all getting in the way. However, the rules to some are relaxed and musical collaborations are encouraged. No matter what, BLINKs have always shown massive support to the Blackpink girls, and now with Jennie’s dating rumours surfacing on the internet, they are showering her more love.
