K-pop star G-Dragon has officially denied persistent dating rumors linking him to actress and former After School member Lee Jooyeon, marking the latest chapter in a years-long swirl of speculation.

On Thursday, Galaxy Corporation, the rapper's agency, issued a statement firmly refuting claims that the two celebrities are in a romantic relationship.

"We would like to clarify that the recent dating rumors involving G-Dragon and Lee Jooyeon, which continue to circulate, are not true," the agency said in its official statement.

The renewed rumors stem from online speculation earlier this year when fans noticed similarities between the interior of a house in one of Lee's selfies and G-Dragon's known residence.

Some netizens also claimed that a cat seen in Lee's photo appeared to be wearing a necklace previously spotted on G-Dragon's pet.

Despite the social media sleuthing, Galaxy Corporation emphasized that there was no factual basis for the allegations.

This is not the first time the pair has faced dating rumors. Since 2017, G-Dragon and Lee have been entangled in speculation multiple times, often triggered by sightings, social media posts, or anonymous tips.

Neither party has ever confirmed a relationship.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, has also recently been linked to TWICE member Sana.

That rumor, too, drew intense public attention, especially following G-Dragon's appearance on Sana's YouTube program, where he discussed relationships and marriage.

The 36-year-old BIGBANG leader has kept his personal life largely private throughout his career, despite regular scrutiny from fans and media.

With this latest denial, his agency appears intent on quelling any ongoing chatter.

As of press time, Lee Jooyeon has not issued a separate comment.
