Social media on Wednesday went wild as media outlet Dispatch reported that Blackpink star Jennie has been in a relationship with 'King of K-pop' G-Dragon for a year.
Reports said they two have been meeting in private at G-Dragon's luxury apartment in Hannam, which has several security features and a separate elevator.
YG Entertainment, the label the two are associated with, knew of the relationship. Jennie was sometimes dropped at G-Dragon's apartment by her manager.
Let's all get to know Jennie
Jennie Kim is a member of popular South Korean girl band Blackpink.
