G-DRAGON's team denies dating rumours with TWICE's Sana, sparking fan backlash: 'Nobody even thought about it'
BIGBANG's G-DRAGON and TWICE's Sana have recently found themselves at the center of unexpected dating rumours — and fans aren't taking it lightly. The speculation started after a teaser was released for Sana's variety show "Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview", revealing G-DRAGON as an upcoming guest.
But what truly stunned fans was not the rumour itself — as such talks keep happening in the K-pop world — but G-DRAGON's agency's decision to issue a clarification — for something many say didn't even exist.
Where did the rumour come from?
On May 30, a teaser trailer for Fridge Interview was dropped, titled "G-DRAGON Came to Hang Out with Two Girls," showing the Bang Bang Bang singer joining Dex and Sana. The playful title and the rare appearance of G-DRAGON on variety TV led to increased chatter online, though nothing substantial pointed to any romantic involvement.
However, things took a strange turn when G-DRAGON's agency released a formal statement denying any dating relationship between him and Sana — a move that left many scratching their heads.
Agency denies dating speculation
G-DRAGON's team clarified that he agreed to film the show out of friendship with Dex, not because of Sana. They added that Sana's participation was confirmed only a day before the filming, and emphasized that there were no romantic feelings between the two stars.
"G-DRAGON filmed Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview on April 14, the day after the final broadcast of MBC's Good Day. On April 22, TWICE performed as a special guest at Coldplay's concert in Korea."

"The reason he didn't address the dating rumour earlier was because he believed doing so would spoil his surprise appearance on the show."
Fans question the need to address the rumour
The statement, instead of clarifying things, left fans more confused. Many TWICE fans, known as ONCE, expressed disbelief that the dating rumour was even a thing — and questioned the agency's decision to issue a statement.
One wrote, "Like this if you never heard such a thing."

Another said, "'Arranged the day before that Sana will appear as well'? So we're just lying now? It's literally her show. Extremely unprofessional for his team to change the narrative."

One commented, "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!! Why does this man always insert himself into women's business? This isn't the first time." (This came as a reference to his still-undeclared dating rumour with BLACKPINK's Jennie.)

This fan pointed to the irony: "There were over 9 million views and viral tweets about Kentaro Sakaguchi and Sana looking like a couple — and still no agency statement. But now we get one for a rumour no one even believed? Make it make sense."
over 9 million views, 116k likes saying they look like a couple, viral tweets abt them left and right but his company didn't think a statement was necessary. meanwhile that guy had the audacity to drop a statement over a dating rumor he started that no one gaf about to begin with https://t.co/Ddurouni4w

Lauren Sanchez's wedding gown was planned over a year-and-a-half with Sophia Loren for inspiration
Here comes the bride! Lauren Sachez was a custom D&G bride with a heavy hand of some vintage Sophia Loren for inspiration(Photos: Instagram, IMDb) At 55 and a petite 5-foot-4-inches, Lauren Sanchez, lost a precise three-and-a-half pounds to look picture perfect as a custom Dolce & Gabbana bride. So what does 900 hours of atelier work and all the money in the world get you? The dress of your dreams. And planning it all began a year-and-a-half back over a dinner with the man himself, Domenico Dolce, at his NYC condo. Now to say that Lauren's conservative lace-wrapped wedding dress was 'inspired' by Sophia Loren's wedding montage from 1958 film Houseboat, would be an understatement — the siren turning bride was the blueprint. That being said, Lauren didn't know she'd set her heart on the Houseboat still for inspiration. All she knew is that she wanted to look like an updated 1950s bride, timeless and classic. "I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were like this (imitates a prayer position) and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress'.", she gushed during an exclusive pre-wedding sit-down with Vogue. 180 hand-finished, silk chiffon-covered priest buttons lined the snatched silhouette, beginning at the neck and trailing down her torso with delicate lace covering her decollete, all of it neatly flushing out into a sweeping, still conservative, mermaid hem. "It is a departure from what people what I expect — but it's very much me", Lauren shared. As for her jewellery, that is where the something borrowed came in — a pair of exquisite Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings. Loose, romantic, swept up curls and light, clean, minimal makeup is what let the thoughtfully-curated couture piece and her bridal glow take centre stage on the day-of. The final detail: Bridal mirth The public may have a lot (and mostly ill) to say about the scale and grandeur of the nuptials, but no one can really take away from the fact both Lauren and Jeff Bezos, 61, look the happiest they ever have. Case in point, Lauren's parting shot for her exclusive interview was just about how she couldn't wait to go back and tell Jeff all about her day: "I'm very happy. More than the dress, I'm happy that I'm getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore. I am the luckiest woman on the right after this, I can't wait to go back and tell him about my day". We wish the couple a happy marriage.
