BIGBANG Daesung’s Reaction to Dating Rumors with Idol Sparks More Speculation

BIGBANG’s Daesung is facing backlash after dating rumors sparked online — but the real drama is with his agency.

The controversy began when Daesung attended MAMAMOO’s third Seoul concert night for their Award World Tour on June 21. Fans noticed who he was sitting next to: KARA’s Hur Youngji and Oh My Girl’s Hyojong. A photo of Daesung “cozied” up to Youngji quickly went viral, fueling intense dating speculation. Taeyang’s comments only added fuel to the fire.

Soon after, Daesung’s agency released a statement denying the dating rumors. But fans were shocked to learn Daesung himself didn’t know about the statement until he saw it on Naver.

In a recent video, Daesung revealed his agency never contacted him before issuing the denial. He expressed frustration that he wasn’t asked to verify the facts first.

“I went on Naver and saw posts about an official statement from the company, denying dating rumors with Youngji. If you’re going to verify the facts, and it’s…” — Daesung (via Twitter)

Fans quickly reacted to Daesung’s response, interpreting his surprise and frustration as a non-denial.

As the situation unfolded, many pointed out that Daesung’s biggest issue seemed to be his company treating him like “SINGLE AF,” sparking jokes among fans.

The dating rumors remain unconfirmed, but the spotlight is now on Daesung’s agency for handling the situation without consulting him first. Fans are watching closely for any new updates.
