DISPATCH RELEASES PHOTOS OF G-DRAGON AND KIKO MIZUHARA + YGE’S STATEMENT

Translations from Koreaboo:

Dispatch has captured BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and his alleged on-and-off again girlfriend, Kiko Mizuhara on an alleged date!

The two were spotted with some intense skinship and looked to be incredibly close in the photos. According to Dispatch, G-Dragon and Kiko Mizuhara were spotted together in Seoul on September 16th, cuddling together and holding each other very close in the photos. They were at a lounge bar in Seoul, and then moved to Itaewon with an YG Entertainment company van, enjoying their date.

After 4 years of mere speculation that BIGBANG’s leader G-Dragon and famous Japanese model Mizuhara Kiko have been dating, Dispatch has finally captured photos of the two stars on a more-than-just-a-friendly date in Seoul, South Korea.

The photos above were posted to Mizuhara Kiko’s SNS account on the night of the 7th. In these photos, the area where Kiko is seen posing may just look like some streets in the back alleys of Japan.

However, according to Dispatch, it is, in fact, the back alley of a street in Itaewon, South Korea, where they insist that G-Dragon was the photographer of the photos above.

The picture shown above displays the same closed shop door with the same graffiti that was in Kiko’s SNS photos.

The photo shown above and the following photos were taken by Dispatch on the 16th of last month, where they were seen together with other friends.

Dispatch stated that this little area of Itaewon, seen in the photos above, is G-Dragon and Kiko’s “secret lair” where they often come to spend time together. Mutual friends such as Yang Seungho (also known as Yanggeng), 2NE1’s former stylist and a long-time buddy of G-Dragon, are often seen hanging out with the alleged couple as well.

And just like other times, they are seen taking photos, which is what they always do when they meet—even though these photos are never publicly revealed.

For the past 4 years since August 14th, 2010, G-Dragon’s party has been denying the relationship with the model, saying, “(Kiko) is just a close model friend that (GD) has become acquainted with.”

When their relationship scandal re-arose in July of 2011, another statement of denial was issued, “We are, in fact, very close. However, we are not dating.”

And for the last time, when the scandal resurfaced with a huge impact in January of 2013, YG Entertainment revealed, “She is just a very close friend of G-Dragon who he hangs out with when visiting Japan.”

On the contrary, the recent photos captured by Dispatch state the opposite about the two stars’ friendship. Dispatch insists that despite the stars’ mutual friends being present at the “date” seen in the photos above, the two are still in a deeply committed relationship.

Dispatch has also captured photos of the couple at a bar lounge in Cheongdam, Seoul, South Korea on the same night, just after their special time in Itaewon (above) where they are seen hugging, smiling, laughing, and even being a little physical with each other.

As it is very evident in the photos seen above, Dispatch reports that the two stars are in a real relationship—a relationship that consists of the more than usual skin-ship, smiling, and laughter that is found between just a friendship.

YG Entertainment has yet to confirm these photos of G-Dragon and Mizuhara Kiko’s relationship, however, they have stated that they will report information as soon as they are done validating the facts with the artist himself.
