Just when we thought the chapter might be closed, the rumor mill is churning once again for BIGBANG‘s leader, G-Dragon, and former After School member Jooyeon. A recent Instagram Story posted by Jooyeon has sent fans into a frenzy, sparking renewed speculation about a potential romantic relationship between the two.
On April 27th KST, eagle-eyed netizens noticed some strikingly familiar details in Jooyeon’s selfie. Pictured lounging on a couch with an adorable feline, the background of Jooyeon’s story bore an uncanny resemblance to glimpses previously shared from G-Dragon’s own home.
Fans quickly pointed out matching artwork adorning the walls and identical decorative pieces that had been spotted in G-Dragon’s past social media posts. But the detail that truly set the internet ablaze was the cat nestled in Jooyeon’s arms. This wasn’t just any cat; it was sporting a distinctive Chanel sweater scarf – the very same one seen adorning G-Dragon’s beloved pet in his own posts.
The shared feline fashion statement, coupled with the familiar interior, has led many to believe that Jooyeon was indeed at G-Dragon’s residence. This has reignited dating rumors that first surfaced several years ago, although neither party has ever officially confirmed a romantic involvement.
The online reaction has been swift and varied. Some fans expressed a sense of déjà vu, with comments like “Again?” echoing the history of speculation surrounding the pair. Others voiced their opinions on the situation, with some questioning G-Dragon’s past social media activity involving other young female idols, while others directed more critical remarks towards Jooyeon. Comments ranged from
“This Jooyeon girl really seems desperate to be acknowledged, lol”
“Wow, if they’re going back and forth to each other’s houses, well… maybe they broke up and got back together.”
A segment of the online community expressed fatigue with the ongoing rumors, labeling Jooyeon an “attention seeker” and questioning the longevity of the “obsession.” For those less familiar with the former After School member, one commenter simply asked,
“So who is Lee Jooyeon anyway?”
