Okay, gossip sensors: buzzworthy pics surfaced after streetwear label verdy shared photos from a private, celebrity-filled dinner — and fans quickly zeroed in on one surprising tablemate trio. BIGBANG’s G-Dragon was photographed sitting near aespa’s Giselle and RIIZE’s Shotaro, and the internet immediately exploded.
Netizens called the grouping an unexpected combo and many revived dating rumors about Shotaro and Giselle, even though Shotaro has already pushed back on those rumors in the past. Social media reactions ranged from delight at seeing different generations together to people defending Giselle against online hate.
Selected fan reactions:
- „It’s so interesting to see Giselle and G-Dragon in one frame. And can everyone stop with the hate against Giselle?“
- „This is like a collision of different worlds LOL. Kwon Jiyong is so cute.“
- „Shotaro and Giselle together?“
Quick context for anyone catching up:
- G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong) is BIGBANG’s leader and a hugely influential solo artist and fashion icon.
- Giselle is a member of SM Entertainment’s girl group aespa, which debuted in 2020.
- Shotaro is a member of RIIZE, the SM boy group that debuted in 2023.
- Shotaro recently addressed and denied dating rumors about him and Giselle.
So: cute photos, loud fandom chatter, and — as of now — no agency confirmations. I’m here for cross-generational hangouts and the chaotic, wholesome takes they spark. What do you think this dinner was about? Friend-catchup? Industry mixer? Fashion collab afterparty? (My money’s on the vibes, not a headline.)
