Article: ’16 year age gap’ Black Pink’s Rose and Kang Dong Won’sd ating rumors… YG responds
Source: Insight via Instagram
[+417] When YG responds by saying “they can’t confirm,” it usually means they admit the scandal is true. They always gave that response with GD’s scandals. |
– [+2] They posted another response clarifying that it’s a denial
[+345] My initial reaction is that a 16 year gap isn’t so bad until I realize that Rose entered middle school when Kang Dong Won entered his thirties, hul
[+200] I like both ㅋㅋ and I wish them happiness if this is true~~
[+132] Not our Dongwon
[+100] Same necklace design.. sat together at an event.. I don’t think that’s enough evidence to say they’re dating. You could hook any two random strangers up if that’s all that counted as evidence.
[+99] Dong Won oppa, please date ㅜㅜ I’m glad of any dating news at all ㅠㅠㅜㅜㅠㅜ
[+31] Honestly, Kang Dong Won could probably pull a woman 30 years younger than him if he wanted to.. 16 years isn’t even that big of a deal
[+23] Oh, they’re quite a match
[+18] They match well. As long as they’re both happy
[+14] I guess only a person of Rose’s level could stand a chance at dating Dong Won-nim… ㅠ
[+10] Kang Dong Won.. in a dating rumor…

[+257] Wow… did they get connected through Saint Laurent. And if it’s someone like Kang Dong Won, an age gap wouldn’t bother me~
[+75] Kang Dong Won is finally dating…?
[+64] Whether they’re dating or just friends, I support them regardless!!
[+27] What does age matter?? huh?? when it’s Kang Dong Won… Even Seo Taiji married someone 16 years younger~~
[+23] Rose tuna let’s go
[+11] Honestly, does age really matter when it’s Kang Dong Won..

Article: YG’s official statement, “Rose and Kang Dong Won are not dating”
Source: Idol Issue via Instagram
[+53] Ridiculous that a dating rumor even spawned out of the two being in the same location.. There are way too many dating rumors with not enough evidence lately.
[+34] YG told everyone to screw off because it’s a private life matter but everyone was so quick to be like “this is YG’s way of confirming” ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and now you’re all blaming YG for not “denying it” more clearly
[+25] People need to stop blaming YG. Do you expect them to just put out a statement without even talking to their artist first? You can’t be that stupid… Rose and Kang Dong Won both put out the same statement at the same time saying it’s a private matter until people started getting triggered over their age gap so YG put out another statement outright denying it ㅋㅋㅋ
[+11] Can’t YG just be straight with their denials from now on? Their job is to protect their artists, no? Telling people to screw off because it’s a private matter and none of their business just arouses more curiosity and causes the public to cling on even harder. They have enough experience to realize that now, no? But they always say “no comment” which only causes the media to write up their own fake stories… Either way, I’m glad YG put a nail in by denying this but they could’ve been more careful. It may be Kang Dong Won but look at how quickly public sentiment can change when you mess around with age gaps like DiCaprio…
[+11] Just YG being YG again
[+6] YG is just so bad at their jobs, they’re not competent enough to handle a group of Black Pink’s size
[+4] As if anyone believed this? It was so obvious that they weren’t
[+4] YG never gives straight answers so for them to deny it makes me inclined to believe them ㅋㅋㅋ
[+3] YG needed to have been clearer with their denial in the first statement
[+3] I guess I’m the only one who thought YG did a good job at handling this…
[+1] If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s YG’s fault for failing to properly deal with previous scandals and giving people the image that their statements can’t be trusted. You can’t get away with “it’s a private matter that we can’t check into” forever when fans and the media are raging over the scandal as they stay quiet…
[+-] If only YG responded this promptly with Jennie’s scandals… sigh

Article: YG reps “Kang Dong Won and Rose are not dating” (official statement”
[+138] Never believed it in the first place
[+129] YG’s pretty clear when rumors aren’t true, and when the two in question are actually dating, they just say “it’s a private matter, we don’t know”
[+15] I get that it’s Kang Dong Won but I wouldn’t really expect him with Rose
[+39] When YG says it’s not true, it’s not true
[+15] So what if they are, so what if they aren’t
