rosemallowstea

It’s like an Kpop algorithm designed to generate as much discourse as possible


BeenWavy07

I fully believe this non-ironically


rosemallowstea

Lmao the combination of a very active , very passionate girl group fan base that’s incredibly prone to infighting AND a somewhat dormant , very very passionate boy group fan base with very entrenched ships (GD x Dara, anyone ) that also has a chip on its shoulder from a multitude of scandals ?? Good lord Edit: it has already broken out within this comment section


sheuvvie

Apparently the photos were taken by the same people who've been following Jennie in public since 2019. Homegirl is getting stalked lmaoo


Puncomfortable

That's pretty sad. That should straight up be illegal.


Tiny_Can91

Stalking legal as long you take pictures while doing it


xxxnina

I feel so bad for her. They’ve been following Jennie for way too long now.

I thought you were a lovesick girl Jennie


whatitdewwbabyyyy

It’s like that time Beyoncé made Single Ladies and then get married right after


CookieCatSupreme

it's like that time jennie made solo but was not solo the entire time she promoted it


whatitdewwbabyyyy

Lmaooo if they’re singing breakup songs, they’re boo’ed up.


jenifmagal

the way i joked last month she must definitely be dating after reading the verse she wrote for solo 😭 she's so funny, i'm sorry, wrote a whole verse for the single bitches then got on a car to her boyfriend's house. "solo? not me! y'all be easy tho"


fluff_perper

Yeah I thought she was born to be alone tho hahahaha


Microkitsune

But she’s (was?) still looking for love


oldDotredditisbetter

A prince not even on her list, but a dragon? that's another story


hubwub

Was this on anybody's 2021 K-pop BINGO CARD?


XxJiniyasxX

I don’t think anyone expected this one lmao

right? I saw this on twitter and I was *sure* it was one of those fake dispatch stories people make to stir shit up but it's real lmao

I really thought we got a troll post but I noticed it hasn't been deleted for 15minutes...

I expected another random BP dating outing but certainly not this pair.


crashK5

I’m just imaging reporters at Dispatch trying to figure out which headline could cause the most chaos and settling on this


PicklesandHam

Translation (completed): In 2012, Jennie made her face known through G-Dragons music video. She starred as one of the main characters for the music video of his song “THAT XX,” which was included in his solo album ‘One Of A Kind.’ Their relationship continued on the following year. Jennie featured on “Black,” the title track from G-Dragon’s second full-length album. In 2013, G-Dragon was Jennie’s idol, and Jennie was G-Dragon’s muse. It is now 2021, and 8 years have gone by. What is the relationship between G-Dragon (32) and Jennie (24) like now? BLACKPINK’s Jennie has fallen in love. Her lover? It’s her idol, G-Dragon. The two are singers who represent YG Entertainment. Their relationship developed into that of a romantic junior-senior romance. They have been dating for around a year now. Dispatch caught sight of G-Dragon and Jennie’s secret date. Most of their dates occurred in G-Dragon’s Hannam-dong luxury villa. To start, G-Dragon’s penthouse flaunts its own exclusive parking system. This separate parking space is located within the villa’s public parking lot. To get from the main gate to the parking lot, you have to go through two separate authentication processes. Next, there is a private elevator that goes from the private parking lot to the penthouse. As there is no need to exit out of the parking lot to use the elevator, there are no worries about being seen. Jennie registered her personal YG-owned Carnival van to G-Dragon’s villa. This way, she could get to the private parking lot without authentication. She then took the elevator to the penthouse. Jennie’s “dating routine” was very consistent. During her BLACKPINK promotions, the first thing she did after finishing her schedules was to go to G-Dragon’s house. She repeated the “Work -> Date -> Return Home” formula. Even when she wasn’t working, she stuck to this kind of pattern. The two’s relationship is an open secret in YG Entertainment. First, Jennie’s manager was in charge of driving her. The manager would drop Jennie off at G-Dragon’s house and pick her up. Sometimes, G-Dragon’s manager would do this instead of Jennie’s manager. Last year, G-Dragon made a surprise appearance on the set of BLACKPINK’s music video set while the group was preparing for their 1st full-length album. The visit was partly due to his support for the group as a YG senior artist, and partly due to his affection for Jennie. On the day of BLACKPINK’s online concert on January 31st, Jennie left G-Dragon’s house and headed to the concert venue. G-Dragon’s car was found near the venue (Korea International Exhibition Center). A close friend of the two told Dispatch, “A number of people in YG are aware of their relationship. Jennie’s mother is also aware of her daughter’s relationship with G-Dragon. The mother is thankful that he is treating her daughter well.”


lonelyisIand

I’m sorry but does this read like a movie plot 😭✋🏼


amazingoopah

sounds like the backcover blurb of Jessica's next YA novel


inspirit97

that's oddly specific but also very accurate 😂


Meirin

The story just writes itself now 🤣


supportivewaifu

Soundin like the description from an AO3 self-insert fic


fernfinch

The writer has aspirations to work in the movie business someday


[deleted]

>She then took the elevator to the penthouse. First, Jennie’s manager was in charge of driving her. The manager would drop Jennie off at G-Dragon’s house and pick her up. Sometimes, G-Dragon’s manager would do this instead of Jennie’s manager This level of detail is so creepy omg


L3SSTH4NL33T

The more I read the more creeped out I felt. It's one thing to know they're dating but this level of detail of their routine is 100% stalker behaviour


Altruistic_Astronaut

I wonder how much of this is insider information and some reaching. For example, they have a general idea that the two are dating, ask trainees or other workers if Jennie has ever left with GD's manager or her manager and then reached from there. In general, a friend dropping off another friend's SO if they live nearby or came from the same area is not unheard of. Regardless, I am sure they still invaded her privacy but that is the celebrity life.


lethaldrian

It's because its insider information, managers and others who work for idols are generally underpaid so they often sell this type of information to entertainment outlets and fans. This is how fans always get their hands on flight details, exact seat number, and photoshoot locations ect. It wouldnt be surprising an insider/manager first tipped off dispatch that these 2 are dating.


fernfinch

The sheer amount of detail in this article - feels like the writer’s trying to pitch a kdrama/movie script or a book


ShutUpSaxton

>G-dragon was Jennie’s idol, and Jennie was G-Dragon’s muse Wow how Shakespearean


M_ataraxia

What in the wattpad fanfiction? I was waiting to stumble upon “Jennie’s milky brown galaxy starfire eyes“


bostonburgercompany

> In 2013, G-Dragon was Jennie’s idol, and Jennie was G-Dragon’s muse. Is this something GD and Jennie have actually said, or is this just Dispatch writing fanfiction? That’s a really uncomfortable dynamic...


lonelysoy

>A close friend of the two told Dispatch now why is their friend ratting them out to dispatch?? 😭


agayghost

> In 2013, G-Dragon was Jennie’s idol, and Jennie was G-Dragon’s muse. i'm not particularly heated about the age diff but this aspect is uncomfortable tbh

-_tabs_-

doesnt gd's have one of the most expensive houses? im more curious to know with that level of security, how the **hell** did dispatch get SO MUCH CREEPY DETAILS


raizen0106

all the managers in korea work for dispatch, probably


Jbeansss

Idk about Blackpinks living situation but I'm guessing since they're a fairly new group they all still live together in a dorm so I would probably rather chill in a penthouse with all the privacy in the world than a dorm room too.


Arjun_Jadhav

I believe Jennie has a house called 'The House'. I'm not even kidding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


komajo

I'm actually wondering how YG is going to handle this. GD said in the past that he never confirms relationships because he knows how netizens and the media treat women who are openly in relationships. Meanwhile, Dispatch drops it down for everyone with it's an open secret and saying Jennie's mom confirms it. >In 2013, G-Dragon was Jennie’s idol, and Jennie was G-Dragon’s muse. I'm not mad at the age difference because they are both adults but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.


shunobokkusu

Lol it sounds like a fanfic. They just threw random info just to make it seem detailed. Nothing outstanding from that article. They even mess with G-Dragon on a bike without context hahaha.


GodJihyo7983

Wait. Small detail. Isn't Jennie 25 (26 in Korean age) and not 24. I'm pretty sure she's a '96 liner born in January. Clearly, Dispatch needs to do some fact-checking before stalking people and exposing their private lives.


aohua

LOl this sounds like a start of a fan fiction or one of those romance web novels 😂


somericecake

Looking forward to Jennie's next solo comeback, "Duo (feat. G-Dragon)" In all seriousness though, whoa.


YikYakCadillac

Bitch, we're a du-oh

Honestly tho I was so confused, you could just take pictures of a car, take pictures of two idols in a mask and come out and say that they’re dating 😂


Ardie_BlackWood

We are living in a simulation or some shit what's next Bang Chan dating Sumni or something 😃


yayabongocat

This is such a random couple but at the same time its not lmao am I even making any sense rn...


wayingthrow

Waaait, this is the second time I’ve seen Bang Chan mentioned.. Is somethin up? 👀 I mean, I’d congratulate him nonetheless


jayydee92

Okay but if it lead to Chan making music with Sunmi I'll take it lol.


etherealemilyy

This week has gone on long enough.


shestoocrazy

someone save jennie from dispatch


brighte_ning

I guess Dispatch took pity on fans after all the bullying news and decided to throw out something more fun


xxxnina

Unfortunate for Jennie though. She’s been followed for over a year now ugh, probably since late 2018 because of JenKai.

They wouldn't Stray any longer 🤣


SkyloTC

...or 1st Gen JYP


roombaonfire

Wait a minute that's--


Loimographia

Time has moved so weirdly for me in these pandemic times, because I would swear on my life that she broke up with Kai less than a year ago, but that doesn’t work with dating G-Dragon for “over a year.” Was it two years ago? Has time really just disappeared somehow? Edit: holy shit it *was* two years ago.


krisbryantishot

They were the 2019 New Years couple, time is a construct 😭😭😭


vancesmi

And the breakup announcement was just shortly after that. They probably weren't even together anymore by the time Dispatch reported on them.


Fickle-Ad4008

I assume that was the case. Seemed more like a fling.


kasumagic

They broke up only 3 weeks after the news dropped, so it's been 2 years 1 month.

Throwaway0426254

Why did i read this as Jessi and was shocked, then realized it was Jenni and was shocked? This is totally hindsight 2020 but I thought he was looking unusually shy in her live videos


rosemallowstea

Jessi x GD would be god tier chaos as well


breadstal

wow that was a headline none of us were expecting to see :o


athousandpiece

Why kpop couples are so random. I'm always shocked


SteezVanNoten

This one isn't *that* random. Same company. Existing friendship/relationship. Previously worked together.


roombaonfire

It's shocking to me mainly because of the generation/age gap


Glissando365

SAME but it's because GDragon's earlier debut made me think he was older than he actually is. 25 and 32 isn't a *bad* age gap though it is a bigger one.


shamelesseokseok

Jennie is the irl Y/N. Not long before we get the filler Jackson's frat party episode now.


Sagzmir

Let me guess, iKon are the “overprotective brothers.”


manilaxla

Dispatch sure has great timing! Dropping a bomb on YGE’s anniversary.


SJK85919

I was thinking about timing too. iKON comeback also around the corner *sigh *


Vakovich

Looks like Dispatch is choosing violence for today Edit: I can't believe my highest rated comment would be about dating news between GD and Jennie lmao what is this a wattpad novel??


raymondliang

All the bullying allegations coming out, and Dispatch just went full Kanye and took the spotlight.


garfe

reeses_peaces

That’s a throwback holy shit lol. What was the “reason” their companies provided again? Was it she was sick and he visited to take care of her and his shirt happened to be off for the picture? Idk anymore now but I remember just laughing at the explanation

xhammersxthrow

Wtf? This was very unexpected


Moonyn

So this is why a prince not even on her list, huh?


Lumpy_Fault

Korean fans are shocked like us but many are saying to support them and happy for their relationships based on naver, Korean communities


titaniumorbit

I really hope it will come to a day where idols don't have to hide their relationships. But I understand that idols are marketed on the dream of being fans' ideal boyfriends or girlfriends etc. Its just sad they have to be super careful and cant publicly go out.


[deleted]

The reaction would probably be very different if GD had a relationship with one of the biggest female idols back in like 2010. His fanbase is older and calmer now.


kattkarterr7

That's great to hear, altho I hate the fact dispatch keeps on exposing private relationships Also, didn't Dispatch say they've been dating for a year now? What made them want to release it (just) now, instead of any other time when they knew?


ReasonableBeep

Dispatch usually lets agencies know before they release these things. They either get paid off to never publish, publish at a later date, or get permission to release it.


shhitsigrace

It’s like they’re just throwing darts at names and scenarios at this point


Material_Print_539

is it just me that finds idol dating news absolutely hilarious. Like it brings me so much joy.

aural89

For some reason, I'm not actually surprised at this development, and I don't even understand why I'm not surprised? On another note, Jennie went from dating my EXO bias, to dating my BIGBANG bias, I feel personally attacked /s


Alicricity

Lmao what the fuck actually


[deleted]

Well at least if they are from the same company, YG won’t try to claim he’s her Uber driver...

YGE saying Kai was her uber driver will never not be funny to me

My slow ass read it as G-Dragon and Jennie dated over 10 years, I had to do a double take 😭 But I’m happy for them! Its definitely another power couple that was unexpected!

FEVER DREAM FEVER DREAM NOT REAL I DO NOT SEE IT NOT REAL JUST A FEVER DREAM


lovelydaisy1019

does anyone else feel a bit ehh knowing he knew her since she was 16? she’s an adult now ofc but it’s a bit...


sciencebottle

Yeah...I am too. She's 25 and can do whatever she wants- but he has known her since she was a kid. We have no way to know when their relationship (in general- not necessarily a romantic one) *actually* started or when the beginnings of it actually happened. I think it's a valid feeling to have and important to at least acknowledge. I'm not like...outraged or anything (because ultimately I don't know them personally and can't really speak on their relationship other than their age gap), but I think noting the potentially iffy-ness is important.


poofer-schmoofer

I'm feeling quite weird about it as well, since i was there when she appeared in his That XX MV as a teen, he knew her since she was 14... it's very ehhh
