  • The BigBang rapper and Blackpink singer are widely rumoured to be dating – while we wait for the truth STYLE made a list of four reasons why it might be true
  • From their long periods as YG Entertainment trainees to their shared loved of Contax cameras and luxury living, the pair have plenty in common

Many K-pop fans still might not be able to believe that G-Dragon and Jennie from Blackpink are reportedly dating – but it’s time to face the music and admit why they make the perfect K-pop couple.

It’s not simply that both stars are signed with YG Entertainment (yawn), or that Jennie was in a G-Dragon music video eight years ago while she was still a teenage trainee. The pair also share similar artistic tastes, temperaments and a long, loving friendship that all prove what an ideal match they make.

So while we wait for an official announcement about the rumours that broke earlier this week, let’s look at four reasons why we figure a relationship between these two icons would really work.

They are both into old school film photography – and use Contax cameras

Fans will already know about G-Dragon and Jennie’s artistic taste – there are many artsy shots on G-Dragon’s Instagram feed and Jennie even has a second, blue tick-less IG account dedicated to her old school photography, captioned simply “A story that eye witnessed” (check out @lesyeuxdenini).
G-Dragon also loves to give fellow idols artistic presents, like when he sent IU a copy of her own “Palette” album with drawings and decorations done by himself. 

And – what a coincidence – G-Dragon and Jennie are both into film photography, and are even known to use cameras from the same brand, Contax. The Contax T3 has been G-Dragon’s preferred film camera for a long time already, and early last year it was revealed that Jennie and Lisa from Blackpink also use the Contax T2 and T3. Imagine how beautiful their couple’s photo album might turn out!
