[News] G-Dragon and Kiko Mizuhara’s dating rumors resurface


Big Bang’s G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong, 22) and Japanese American model Kiko Mizuhara (21) are under the spotlight once more. Last summer, YG Entertainment denied rumors that G-Dragon was dating Kiko Mizuhara, stating "they are close friends."

However, a never-before-seen photo of G-Dragon and Kiko Mizuhara at an amusement park has fans questioning their relationship. Judging from G-Dragon's blonde hair, many are speculating that this photo was taken around Big Bang's last promotion period.

Netizens commented, “They’re just close,” “No way, I don’t believe this,” and “How many times have they been captured together…” While the photo doesn't exactly say anything, it has brought a renewed interest in the two, especially now that so many celebrities are opening up about their relationships.

The lawyer of Big Bang said, ‘ the publishing company has admitted that they had used the photos without prior authorization. Moreover, the revenue that the magazine gained has been offset by the compensation that it has to pay.’

A staff of Okra said, ‘ we have not explicitly said that we have reached a compromise.’
