Chapter 49 Chapter 49
The Bestiz forum has been quite lively lately. Since March, topics have been endless: Lee Hyori is preparing for her comeback after two years, Girls' Generation's hit song "Gee" has topped the music charts, Wonder Girls have just returned from training in the US, and 2NE1 has officially released their first mini-album and announced their debut. The most popular section is the recently launched "Hearsay" section. Initially, this section was just a collection of gossip contributed by various fan groups, a way to fish in murky waters and pass the time. Later, various accounts, claiming to be "staff at a certain company" or "stylist at a major agency," began to share revelations. The stories, sometimes true and sometimes false, occasionally align with reality, gradually gaining popularity. Recently, a pinned post boasting 30,000 views has a straightforward title: "Hearsay | Love Talk - A Collection of Recent Celebrity Love Clues." The main text lists several dating speculations about popular celebrities, one of which concerns actor Lee Joon-gi. Someone claimed to have spotted Lee Joon-gi dining with a tall woman at a Japanese restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. The two kept a low profile but interacted intimately. The poster attached a blurry candid photo from the restaurant's parking lot that night. While the license plate wasn't clearly visible, the car's color matched Lee Joon-gi's previous vehicle. The second post was about actors Kang Dong-won and Han Hyo-joo. Rumor has it that the two have remained in contact since their film collaboration and were both on the undisclosed guest list for a friend's wedding. However, the accompanying image in this post was somewhat perfunctory, consisting solely of a questionable image of a cell phone charm. It's unclear whose phone it is or whether it truly relates to the two. The third and most popular post was about Kwon Ji-ryong's stylish "new persona" at the airport. It's clear the poster is betting big on this one. Unlike the previous two posts, which each featured only a single image, this one included both text and images, devoting considerable space to analysis. First, the poster uploaded a collection of GD's airport photos from March, highlighting a blue, capped, unidentified felt doll hanging from his backpack. The analysis section noted that when zoomed in on some of the photos, the letter "G" on the doll's cap is faintly visible. However, no similar model is commercially available, leading to the assumption that it's handmade. Crucially, the doll hadn't appeared on his other trips before, having only been hanging since early March of this year. Regardless of his bag changes, it appeared in nearly ten airport photos, large and small. This suggests that GD is currently in a relationship, or at least has a stable and ambiguous relationship with someone, and that he handmade the doll as a gift. The post immediately went viral on the forums. Although the post didn't mention any specific partners, the comment section quickly filled in with detailed and credible speculation. 1L (Hand-pinned): Let me throw out a few possible candidates to spark discussion: 1: Wonder Girls' Sohee—We just worked together late last year, and while their interactions don't appear to be much, the timelines match, so avoiding suspicion is possible. Number 2: 2NE1's Sandara Park—The group just debuted, and while YG isn't ruling out rumors of a relationship, they've been seen interacting subtly on "2NE1 TV." Number 3: Former YG trainee Lia Kim—They've been spotted together before, and 2NE1's most recent album includes a song she and GD co-wrote, suggesting continued contact. It wouldn't be surprising if they're truly dating. Number 4: Japan X—The identity is currently unclear, but Bigbang officially launched their Japanese presence this year and has been spending a lot of time there, so it's possible they've met people both inside and outside the industry there. 2L: I'm rooting for Sohee. Locals love strong alliances. 3L: No, it's just a doll, how did it get so intense? Couldn't he have done it himself? 4L: Although I don't want to believe it, I agree with the poster's speculation. This doll seems too personal, and he rarely shows up in airport photos with a single item so frequently. 5L: Is Sandara Park also a candidate? Doesn't she and GD look like seniors and juniors? Bo Eun, on the other hand, interacts more. 6L: Our company is liaising with Bigbang for their Japanese activities. I know of two candidates for number 4: a model and a designer, both in the fashion industry. 7L: !!! The above person elaborated!!! 8L: I'm in Japan and attended an after-party. What 6L said is true. 9L: Japanese tonics... I'm crying my eyes out. 10L: No one else guessed number 3? 3 is a sure thing for me. 11L: Lia? Didn't she deny the rumors a long time ago? Why is she being brought up again? 12L: Um... I actually buy into this, too. I was a little disappointed after the denial... 10L, can you elaborate? 13L: I can't really tell. On "2NE1 TV," GD and his juniors always had a good relationship. If you have to say, they can't all be flirting, right? 14L: Well... I feel like this analysis is a bit forced. While I'm curious who made the dolls, it doesn't necessarily mean they're in a relationship, right? Maybe they were given to them by fans? 15L: Honestly, I didn't believe it at first, but look at that "G." I gave my boyfriend something similar. 16L: I agree with the above. Besides, a gift from an ordinary fan wouldn't go this far, right? It definitely has a different meaning. 17L: If not a fan, it could be a family member... like a sister, a mother, or something... It's not like GD hasn't said he has a super close relationship with his sister. 18L: The above is so clean, do you believe it? How could a sister keep it hanging for almost two months? And even change bags every day? 19L: I don't think the point is "who gave it," but why GD is willing to keep it hanging now... It's so blatant, it's a bit unusual. 20L: Actually, do you remember that at the end of last year, he was rumored to have broken up with his girlfriend? According to insiders, he's never really been single. 21L: ? ? Who spread the rumor? Didn't they say it was fake at the time? By the way, who's actually saying the "in-circle rumor"... 22L: The version I heard was that they split up, but the timing is quite tricky. It was right around the time he suddenly started hanging the dolls in March of this year. Those who understand, understand. 23L: ...So this isn't just ordinary flirting, it's a "seamless transition"? 24L: Don't be ridiculous. March isn't a special time. Maybe he just hung it up to see if he got a gift. 25L: That's why it's more like dating behavior...not saying it, but quietly showing affection. The interactions on the show are probably hype. The things that can't be hidden are the real thing. 26L: I have a guess...it might be a declaration of dominance during the flirting phase...because I've done that myself. 27L: So, in the end, there's no real evidence, it's all just speculation. 28L: Um...let me digress. Wasn't he dating Lia Kim with someone else? 29L: ??? 30L: ??? ??? ??? 31L: My brother goes to the same school as her, and we've been seeing some rumors. They're probably not dating yet, but they're almost there. 32L: Who? A classmate from school? Don't leave things unsaid... 33L: (picture.jpg) My brother took this sneak shot in the library, studying together. 34L: WTF WTF WTF!!! 35L: Yoo Seung-ho??!!!!!! 36L: That's out of the question... I'm losing my dimension, how did these two get in the same frame? 37L: Oh no, my brother doesn't want a relationship, TT 38L: Eating rumors right at my doorstep... Just a side note, everyone, please keep an eye on "Queen Seondeok," which is currently airing~ 39L: The person above is killing me. 40L: So they're a couple? 41L: Link 1: Kyungtae High School 2009 promotional video Link 2: Yoo Seung-ho's MBC solo interview - School life. Check it out for yourself. 42L: Oh my god... 43L: +1 for alumni. I also feel like there's something going on with them. Although Yoo Seung-ho doesn't come to school very often, whenever he does, he's basically with girls. 44L: Stop using the name of an alumnus to talk nonsense, okay? Aren't there other people? Which eye of yours saw them alone together? 45L: Why are you so excited upstairs? Are you that "other person"? 46L: In that MBC interview, Lia only said one sentence, but you can tell they have a really good relationship. 47L: More than one sentence. I was there, and the rest was probably edited out. They also said something else. 48L: Is this Jingtai High School alumni group blowing up? There are familiar faces everywhere? 49L: 47L, what else did you say? Why are you leaving things unsaid? It drives me crazy... 50L: Who still remembers... weren't we discussing GD's cheat at the beginning? 51L: Oh my god, the second episode of "2NE1 TV" just aired, did you guys watch it? 52L: Stop arguing, we're just discussing the package hanging. 53L: Stop arguing, we're just discussing the package hanging. +1 54L: No! I mean there's a picture in it! (Screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg)jpg) 55L: ? Do you have eagle eyes? How could you tell even with such blurry footage? 56L: What the hell, GD and Lia were in the recording studio together? 57L: Yeah, I guess the camera accidentally caught it. It was just a small spot in the corner. 58L: Oh my god... 59L: Dragon, can't you just go back to Teddy's arms? 60L: Supporting a newcomer? 61L: Supporting a ghost, girls can't even debut. 62L: It makes sense that they have a mutual admiration for each other... 63L: (Screenshot.jpg) I drew two auxiliary lines for reference—the man's body is clearly leaning towards the woman, at least that's how they're attracted to her. 64L: Stop talking, my heart breaks, please delete. 65L: I suddenly have a wild guess... 66L: Don't guess. 67L: Could it be that both of them have feelings for her? The evidence isn't solid enough, but it all seems a little bit valid. 68L: This is hilarious. Do you think this is a TV show? Is Kim Lia the center of the universe? 69L: ...I have a very old revelation. When I was in high school, I went bowling with girls and ran into GD at the alley. He even came down to say hello. 70L: Doesn't Lia Kim have a public social media account? Otherwise, we can dig up her secret timeline. 71L: Yoo Seungho doesn't either. 72L: Yeah, neither of them has a public account, so there's no way to dig up their details... In that sense, they're a good match. 73L: GD: Are you talking about my eye-catching bag? 74L: This thread has gone from "GD bag cheat" to "Lia Shura Field", so funny. 75L: Am I the only one who wants the same one? It's pretty cute... 76L: +1, I want to buy it as soon as GD uses it. 77L: One more detail: GD's doll is blue and gray - exactly the same color scheme as Lia's school uniforms!! 78L: Don't be so far-fetched above... Who would sew the colors of their school uniforms on top... 79L: Whatever, I've decided to support GD x Lia. Even if it's not true, please let them have a happy ending, thank you. 80L: Then I'm for GD x Sohee. Cute couple, cute couple~~~ 81L (Realistic OP returns): This post was originally intended to summarize some recent dating speculation, but it unexpectedly sparked the "bag-hanging incident." Thank you all for your enthusiastic contributions. Currently, none of GD's clues are clear, but the fan community detectives are still online. No matter which couple it is, there's still room for observation. Please keep posting updates as we continue our archaeology—don't miss it if you're passing by, follow us and get the latest idol gossip without any time lag! 82L: I love you, OP, great rational summary (applause) 83L: This is really interesting. Although there's no actual evidence, every point makes sense. The key is that GD won't explain, which makes it even more interesting (thinking.jpg) 84L: I'll also say this: I don't know who gave me that doll, but I must buy the same one within three days! 85L: Today is a day to work for love, and I'll continue to squat Lia's line tomorrow. 86L: Thank you for this post. It made me realize that the fan circle is the real suspense film screenwriter group. 87L: Sprinkle flowers~~
