SCMP Reporter

K-pop reportedly has a new power couple: Jennie and G-Dragon.
South Korean media outlet Dispatch reports that the Blackpink and BigBang members have been dating for about a year. 
The couple have apparently spent most of their time at home, with their relationship said to have been facilitated by their managerial teams and company staff. 
 
Shortly after the Dispatch report was published on Wednesday, Blackpink and BigBang’s management company, YG Entertainment, issued a statement saying that it would not comment on the personal lives of its artists.
 


The two have been label mates for more than a decade and have worked together over the years. before Blackpink’s debut in 2016, Jennie 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. 
Following the report by Dispatch, the names of both artists trended across social media platforms as fans responded to the rumours.
