A single tap was all it took to send K-pop fans into another frenzy. BIGBANG’s G-Dragon is trending across social media after he briefly “liked” a video of BLACKPINK’s Jennie performing at the Golden Disc Awards — then quickly removed it, leaving behind screenshots and renewed speculation about their long-rumored relationship. The moment happened Sunday, when the official Golden Disc Awards channel uploaded a short-form clip highlighting Jennie’s closing-stage performance from the 40th Golden Disc Awards with Upbit, held the previous evening at the Taipei Dome in Taiwan.
