G-Dragon sparks speculation after 'liking' Kiko Mizuhara's post

The online community is buzzing after it was revealed that BigBang leader G-Dragon 'liked' a post featuring Japanese model and actress Kiko Mizuhara, with whom he has been linked to dating rumors multiple times in the past.

While there was never an official acknowledgment of a relationship, the two have been a frequent topic of conversation among fans for years, leading to various interpretations that go beyond simple social media activity due to their history.

Recently, posts featuring photos of Mizuhara accompanied by the phrase "The Kiko Mizuhara we loved back then" have been circulating across online communities and social media platforms.

What caught the public's attention was the trace of G-Dragon's official Instagram account marking a 'like' on the post. As he was seen reacting directly to a post by someone once rumored to be a former partner, the attention of fans and netizens has intensified.

The two have been swept up in dating rumors several times since 2010. At the time, they became a major topic among global fans as they were spotted together traveling between Japan and Korea, though both sides ultimately never officially confirmed a romantic relationship.

Because of this, various reactions have surfaced online regarding this single 'like.'

Some netizens commented, "It seems good memories remain even after a long time," "It could just be a simple social media reaction," or "Could he have pressed it by mistake?" Conversely, others attributed deeper meaning to the gesture, asking, "Doesn't this mean he is being reminded of their past connection?"

However, G-Dragon is known for actively communicating with fans on social media, suggesting this reaction might be closer to his usual habit rather than carrying special significance.

In fact, G-Dragon recently appeared on the YouTube channel Zip Daesung and discussed his 'like' habits.

He explained, "I started it for promotional purposes at first, but there were many talented fans. I started liking their posts because I am grateful for their support," adding, "When fans receive a like, they seem happy. I press it as a way of encouraging them to keep creating great content.""

He continued, "There is no special criteria; I just press it quickly whenever I have a moment. My fingerprints are almost worn out," which drew laughter.

When actor Lee Soo-hyuk, who appeared alongside him, joked, "I keep pressing them so those who didn't get one won't feel left out, but sometimes I make mistakes," G-Dragon replied, "My hands are a bit large," while explaining his social media style.

Separate from this social media incident, G-Dragon has recently been drawing attention for his global cultural activities and social contributions.

According to the Just Peace Foundation, G-Dragon attended the opening ceremony of the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Committee held at BEXCO in Busan as an official ambassador and speaker.

During the event, he caught eyes with nail art featuring the Taegeukgi pattern and delivered a message stating, "Protecting heritage is more than just preserving the past; it is about creating peace for the future.""

From a small social media interaction regarding a past connection to a message about protecting world cultural heritage, interest in G-Dragon remains constant. Ultimately, whether a single 'like' signifies lingering emotions remains a matter known only to the parties involved.
