K-Pop’s Latest Mystery: ✨ GD’s Golden Disc ‘Like’ for Jennie Vanishes in a Flash! What’s the Real Story?

The K-pop world is once again abuzz, caught in a digital whirlwind surrounding two of its most iconic figures: BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and BLACKPINK’s Jennie. A seemingly innocuous ‘like’ on an Instagram video has sent ripples across the internet, involving G-Dragon and BLACKPINK’s Jennie. The incident, which unfolded on January 11, saw GD briefly endorse a performance clip of Jennie at the Golden Disc Awards before swiftly retracting his digital approval, leaving fans speculating wildly.

This isn’t the first time the two K-pop titans have found themselves linked in the public eye. For years, G-Dragon and Jennie have been at the center of persistent dating rumors, though neither artist nor their former agency, YG Entertainment, ever officially confirmed a relationship, often citing “privacy concerns.”

The video in question captured Jennie’s captivating stage at the 40th Golden Disc Awards, held at the Taipei Dome in Taiwan. Her performance featured stunning, re-arranged versions of tracks, including:

• ‘Filter’ 🎶
• ‘Damn Right (feat. Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis)’ 🔥
• ‘Like Jennie’ ✨

The official Golden Disc social media account uploaded a short, edited highlight reel of this much-anticipated show.

It was on this very clip that GD’s ‘like’ appeared and then vanished. The fleeting interaction was enough to ignite fan communities globally, with comments flooding in: “GD liked it!” and “Why did he like it?” While the ‘like’ itself is gone, the digital breadcrumbs, primarily in fan comments, persist as evidence of the brief connection.

Interestingly, the 40th Golden Disc Awards was also a night of significant recognition for both artists. G-Dragon was honored with the prestigious Digital Song Daesang (Grand Prize), while Jennie received both the Artist Daesang and a Digital Song Bonsang (Main Award), underscoring their continued impact on the global music scene.

This subtle interaction speaks volumes about the enduring interest in K-pop’s power couples and the hyper-vigilance of global fandom. Even the smallest digital gesture can spark a wildfire of speculation, proving that in the world of Hallyu, nothing goes unnoticed.

As always, Hello Korea will continue to monitor the pulse of the K-pop universe, bringing you the most insightful stories from the heart of Seoul and beyond.
