GDragon Denies Dating Rumors with 'Miss Korea' Kim Goeun, "They're Like Close Siblings"

 

Singer G-Dragon (36) and former Miss Korea Kim Go-eun (24) have been confirmed to not be in a romantic relationship amid rumors.

According to OSEN's investigation on the 10th, G-Dragon and Kim Go-eun are currently close friends and not in a romantic relationship.

An entertainment industry insider told OSEN on this day, "Although Kim Go-eun is not a celebrity, she knows many people in the entertainment industry, so she has connections with G-Dragon and his acquaintances."

Rumors have circulated among domestic and international fans of G-Dragon since last summer that he has been dating Kim Go-eun. Especially when they were spotted watching a PSG game at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Japan, together in July last year, rumors of their relationship surfaced.

In addition, fans suspected their relationship based on mirror selfies taken separately in the same building elevator, and sunset photos posted on their respective Instagram stories with a time difference.

According to fans' claims, Kim Go-eun also attended G-Dragon's birthday party with friends on August 18th last year.

However, G-Dragon's close associate also clarified to OSEN, "After confirming with him, G-Dragon is not dating Kim Go-eun."

He continued, "The two are not lovers but close like siblings," and expressed hope that there would be no misunderstandings.

-It's funny how the first comments are saying they're not interested in this news...

-Who is that person called a close associate of GD? 

-Leaving comments like 'I'm not interested' after clicking and reading this article is really hilarious...

-Those who click the articles faster than anyone else just to leave comments like 'I'm not interested'.... Seems like they're the most interested onesㅋㅋㅋ

-Those who claim they're not interested are always the first to leave comments in the articles like thisㅋㅋㅋ

-GDragon gets involved in a lot of dating rumorsㅋㅋㅋ

-2000 liner and 1988 linerㅋㅋㅋ

-When did the dating rumors come out?? I just heard about it for the first time from this article...

-There was a dating rumor...?

-"I'm not interested" essentially means "I'm disappointed it's not true"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I couldn't care less whether they're dating or not. I'm just surprised to see Kim Goeun's name being mentioned in the title. Thank goodness it's not the Kim Goeun I was thinking of. 

-Why bother clicking in and leaving comments in articles that you're not interested in?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do you go to a restaurant you're not interested in just to say "I'm not interested in this restaurant"?

-So, when is GDragon's album coming out?

-I came in thinking it was Kim Goeun, the actress.

-Leave him alone...

-Let GDragon live in peace, seriously...

LE SSERAFIM Kim Chaewon Recently Shared a Long Post

Today, I had the honor of being invited as a guest to IU sunbaenim's concert!

Since I was young, IU sunbaenim has been someone I've looked up to, gaining strength and experiencing various emotions while growing up. I always dreamed of meeting her in person, and now, to actually stand as a guest at her concert... I still can't believe it.

Even though it was brief, as I watched IU sunbaenim's stage from behind before going on, the moment I dreamed of while watching her, and all the moments I've worked hard until now, flashed before my eyes, making me emotional.

Then, I thought a lot about our UAENAs.

If I can feel this emotion while watching IU sunbaenim, then perhaps our UAENAs can feel the same when they see me.

I want to become a source of strength for UAENAs just like IU sunbaenim has been for me.

I want the emotions I felt today to linger in my memory for a long time!

And I've set a new goal for myself.

I hope UAENAs will continue to support me by my side until I achieve that goal.

I'll do my best!

This is the longest post she has ever written after she debuted in LE SSERAFIM. Real fans can relateㅋㅋ

instiz

-She really did meet IU, right?ㅜㅜ
ㄴI don't think soㅠㅠ Their schedules are too packed and it didn't overlap with IU's. They couldn't even film any challengesㅠㅠ
ㄴI heard they got the chance to exchange greetings briefly!! I guess they couldn't film any challenges, thoughㅠㅠ
ㄴThey exchanged greetings! My seat was next to the console, so I heard themㅋㅋㅋ They greeted briefly and went on stage. 

-It's such a huge fortune and happiness to be able to give and receive this kind of love from each other..

-It must've been disappointing for her. If only it wasn't for her scheduleㅠㅠ She really wanted to see IUㅠㅠㅠ I hope they can meet again next time

-This is really cute, but it also brings tears to my eyes 🥺

-So touching 🥺

-I wonder how nervous she must have been. It seems like she's genuinely happy, and it makes me feel good too.

The person who sat next to a the child alone at IU's concert



There Was a Child Sitting Next to Me Alone at IU's Concert

She seemed like an elementary student...? She gave me snacks and told me it was her first time going to a concert, she also asked me to take care of her. She really enjoyed the concert and when it ended, I helped with her belongings. She told me that she was waiting for her guardian to come. I told her it was fun and to go home safely. When I got home, I noticed there was a letter from her mother in the snacks. 


Hello, UAENA! I'm the mother of a young fan who came to IU's concert for the first time. She was lucky enough to succeed in getting the ticket. Since it's one seat per ticket, I had to send my daughter alone. Although she has a guardian nearby, her seat is not close enoughㅠㅠ (Unfortunately, I failed to get a ticket myselfㅠㅠ).

Honestly, I was very worried about sending my daughter alone. I was worried if it was safe for her to go to a concert alone at such a young age... And also if it would cause inconvenience to others. But seeing my daughter so happy because she loves IU so much, I couldn't bring myself to cancel the ticket. 

I have taught her concert ettiquete as much as possible! But since neither her dad nor I have ever been to a concert, I'm worried if what we have taught her is not enough. 

If there are any mistakes my daughter makes unknowingly, please kindly let her know in a friendly manner. And if she does make a mistake, she may not know because it's her first time at a concert. I apologize and ask your forgiveness with a generoud heart. 

I hope everyone has an enjoyable concert experience. Thank you for reading this long message. 

theqoo

-It's so touching 🥺

-I'm cryingㅠㅠ I hope this UAENA mother and daughter can come together to IU's concert next time...

-I'm crying as I ride the last train to go back home...

-Wow... That's really touching. I hope that child had fun at the concert.

-I'm cryingㅠㅠㅠ

-I'm tearing upㅜㅜㅜ I hope that baby had a lot of fun at the concert!

-Her mother is really thoughtfulㅠㅠㅠ

-This is very heart-warmingㅠㅠㅠ

-Things like this make me cryㅠㅠㅠ

-I bet both that baby and her mother are so happy because the OP took a good care of her!

-That mother must be such a wonderful person...

-Asking the other fans to take care of her and handing out snacks because it's her first time going to a concertㅠㅠ It's something that even adults don't doㅠㅠ That baby is going to grow up into a good person. To her mother, you've raised your child really well.

-I wonder if that baby enjoyed the concertㅠㅠ

-I'm cryingㅠㅠ I hope today becomes a core memory for that baby...

-It's a relief that baby met a kind UANEA who sat next to her...

-It must've been a day full of happiness for that baby UAENA🥺💜

-Guys, I have a daughter in 2nd grade. That paper is from a school-supplied notebooksㅠㅠ

-I just know that child was extremely polite even without meeting her. Did she have a good time?

-So heartwarmingㅠㅠㅠ I hope that baby UAENA made it home safelyㅠㅠ

-It's heartwarming to know that the person who sat next to her during the concert helped her with their belongings and waited until her guardian arrivedㅠㅠㅠ

-That baby UAENA must've been so happy. Just the thoughts of her talking about the concert to her mom is so adorableㅠㅠ

-I thought I was the only one cryingㅠㅠㅠ I hope it became a good memory for the babyㅠㅠㅠ

-If I get a letter like that, I'll definitely keep itㅠㅠㅠ

Lee Hwarim (Kim Goeun)'s Chanting Scene in 'Exhuma'

 

Jang Jaehyun (Director): Kim Go-eun is a truly remarkable actress. During the filming, I felt that somehow she manages to capture the essence of what shamans do, whether it's bending the tone or making her voice huskier. She really nailed even the small details. Seeing her commitment, I thought, "Ah, she's definitely a veteran!"

-She sounds like someone who knows how to sing. She sounds really amazing. 

-It would be great if they released that chant as part of the original soundtrackㅜㅜ

"The reason Korean women are reluctant to give birth..." BBC journalist's speech sparks discussion

 

Mackenzie stated about the reasons why Korean women are reluctant to give birth, "Korean women give up childbirth because they understand the reality of what it means to become a mother in Korea. If awareness of reality prevents childbirth, then what needs to change is 'reality' itself."

She continued, "Many women are faced with situations where they cannot afford childbirth, such as long working hours and having to choose between childbirth and a career. Apart from these situations, many women would have willingly chosen pregnancy and childcare."

She also said, "What they wanted was not more government support. They wanted a change in the reality where they can have more flexible working hours, where spouses can also share childcare responsibilities, and where they do not have to choose between home and work."

theqoo

-Even foreigners know. Only the Korean government and Korean men don't.

-Exactly.

-No matter how many times you say it, it's totally meaningless in this countryㅋㅋㅋ

-Frankly, everyone knows that. They just pretend not toㅋㅋㅋ

-Why does everyone seem to not understand that it's not about money? It's because of the reality where women bear the burden of childcare and household chores, even while working. That makes them reluctant to get married and give birth. 

-Even if you say the same thing over and over again, they won't listen.

-I bet the government will just miss the point and think, "So we need to strengthen childcare support by making it easier to hire babysitters from foreign countries at a low cost." What a joke.

-The least the government can do about this is implementing flexible working hours. 

-We should just go extinct at this point. These have been pointed out for ages, but everyone pretends not to know. 

-Besides, it's really hard to find someone who's willing to share childcare these days. It's not about not wanting to have children. Living life is already hard enough. 

-That's true. In addition, the prejudice against Korean men is growing due to dating violence, revenge porn, and sex trafficking. 

-Let's be honest, for South Korea to survive, the government needs to immediately educate people about the importance of human rights, even if it has to be done forcibly through law. As long as the word "feminism" is treated like hate, there is no future for Korea.

-Let's just study foreign languages so that we can escape this country when it collapses. 

-True. Why bother having a children if it means I have to give up everything in my life?

The pain you feel during menstuation is caused by the absorbency of your sanitary pad

 

Hul. My friend just told me that the pain you feel during menstruation is caused by the absorbency of your sanitary pad. So, I searched online and found out that it's true that strong absorbency can cause pain. I've been using super absorbent pads all this time. 

100% It's because of the sanitary pad ❌

The polymer absorbent in sanitary pads can be one of the factors causing menstrual pain ⭕️

When choosing sanitary pads, knowledge is also necessary. Some women say, "When wearing a sanitary pad, it feels like the uterus is sagging and hurts down there." Many women complain of discomfort and pain associated with wearing sanitary pads. The 'polymer absorbent' inside the sanitary pad may be the cause. This substance has the advantage of quickly absorbing menstrual blood. However, some women may experience a 'rejection reaction.' If there is discomfort associated with wearing sanitary pads, it's advisable to check the back. If there is polymer absorbent present, it's better to avoid it.


Pads using polymer absorbents offer excellent absorption, preventing leaks and providing a comfortable, dry feeling. However, the issue lies in their excessive absorbency. Prolonged use of such pads can worsen menstrual pain due to excessive gravity. Feeling like your insides are sagging during menstruation could also be due to the properties of the polymer absorbents, which draw moisture.

The absorbents in sanitary pads have the strong ability to absorb moisture, which can even take away the necessary moisture from the vagina. If you experience a severe pain during menstruation, trying a different pad might be helpful.

theqoo

-How is it possible for absorbents to absorb moisture from your body?ㅋㅋㅋ Bring some scientific research instead of pseudoscienceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But if you experience pain in your lower abdomen during your period, changing your pads might be worth to try. I don't know if it's because of the absorbents or whatsoever, but changing pads does make the pain intensity different. 

-I used menstrual cups for 10 years. It was good at first, but then it started to make me get irritations. I learned that sanitary pads made out of cotton are the best, even though washing them is a pain in the ass. 

-Damn, are sanitary pads vacuum cleaners?

-The real problem is sanitary pads will eventually leak...

-I got a pelvic inflammatory disease from using menstrual cups for 2 yearsㅠㅠ For those who use menstrual cups, you should pay attention to your hygiene. 

-I've been using sanitary pads made out of cotton for more than 10 years and I still feel pain during my period. I don't think sanitary pads are the problem here. 

-It's true, though. I felt so much better after switching from regular pads to cotton sanitary pads. 

-Does this even make sense?

-Sounds like a pseudoscience...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Try putting a pad in your mouth and see if your saliva dries up

-That makes sense. I hardly feel any pain during my period when I use tampons.

-The pain you feel during your period is caused by the uterus moving to make the things attached to the wall fall off. What do sanitary pads have to do with it?ㅋㅋㅋ

-If that's not the case, you should get tested for uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts. 

-The article I read warned that the longer you wear sanitary pads, the more chemicals can come ut of them. Chemical absorbents can have harmful effects when they enter your vagina. Since they have the strong ability to absorb, it can also absorb the good bacteria in your vagina, which can cause irritation in your vagina. Additionally, chemical absorbents swell into transparent and gel-like shapes. It can disrupt the airflow in your vagina and lead to hygiene issues. 

-There are people who believe this kind of nonsenseㅋㅋㅋ It's not like sanitary pads are vacuum cleaners...
