Internet paparazzi Dispatch set the media into a feeding frenzy when they took photos of Korean pop idol G-Dragon of Big Bang together with Japanese-based model Kiko Mizuhara in a "hole in a wall" of Itaewon and posted it on Naver.
It has been rumored for years that the two have been dating but there have been no official confirmation from both parties and their respective agencies.
YG Entertainment has denied all the rumors of relationships on any of their talent unlike S.M. Entertainment who confirmed the relationship of YoonA and Lee Seung Gi back in January 2014 after photos were taken of them being together.
In a report by AllKPop, S.M. Entertainment says that, "The two are in the beginning stages of getting to know each other."
The reaction of fans seems to be negative towards any idol that has a relationship and most agencies try to keep things "hush hush" so as not to ruin the idols' image of being perfect and pure. This is more evident when the photos of G-Dragon and Kiko Mizhuara surfaced with YG Entertainment stocks going down by 1.15%.
It should also be mentioned that YG Entertainment whose 64% of its sales revenue comes from the Big Bang group which means there is a lot at stake for YG if news like these keeps popping up. While most critics and economic experts say that it's just jealousy of the fans instead of Kiko Mizuhara's tackless attitude.
Kiko who was in news recently for allegedly taken photos of herself "flipping the bird" while at a Japanese war shrine. A lot of the fans of G-Dragon also commented that she is not the type of girl for him because of her attitude with various pictures of her partying like a rock star, drugs, alcohol, and all that jazz.
