G-Dragon Likes Mizuhara Kiko Post, Reviving 2010 Dating Rumor Speculation

G-Dragon's official Instagram account, xxxibgdrgn, liked a post featuring Japanese model and actress Mizuhara Kiko. The caption read "Mizuhara Kiko whom we liked back then." Screenshots spread fast.

Dating rumors have linked them since 2010. Neither ever confirmed anything. A like from his verified account changes nothing, but it's what people are talking about.

On July 6, G-Dragon went on the YouTube channel Jipdeseong (집대성) to explain his liking habits. "It started as self-promotion, but there were many talented fans," he said. "I like as a way to say 'please make more.' There's no special criteria and I like quickly when I have time. My fingerprints are worn down." Co-guest Lee Soo-hyuk joked about accidental likes. G-Dragon shot back: "My hands are a bit big."

(By his own admission, whether the Kiko like was intentional or just a big-handed slip remains genuinely unclear.)

On July 30, the Justpeace Foundation—established through G-Dragon's copyright donation—announced he served as official promotional ambassador and speaker at the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Committee at BEXCO in Busan. He appeared at the opening ceremony with the Taegeuk flag pattern engraved on his nails. "Protecting heritage is work that goes beyond preserving the past to create peace in the future," he said. The foundation launched a world heritage protection fundraising campaign in cooperation with UNESCO and plans to continue sustainable public interest campaigns.
