TWICE Sana Reveals the Truth Behind GD Dating Rumors: 'I Was Itching to Speak'

Sana of the group TWICE directly revealed the details of the dating rumor incident with G-Dragon and honestly shared her feelings at the time. In particular, she expressed that she wanted to say 'I was itching to speak' but had to hold back her feelings, which has become a hot topic.

In the video '[Sana's Cold Interview] Sana's Untold Story Unleashed!│EP.18 TWICE Sana Edition' recently released on her YouTube channel, Sana shared her thoughts on the conclusion of 'Cold Interview' Season 2 along with the behind-the-scenes stories she had not been able to share until now. Among them, her mention of the dating rumor incident with G-Dragon has received the most attention.

A Special Memory Created by an Unexpected Combination

Sana recalled her meeting with G-Dragon, saying, 'That day was truly memorable. We gathered really urgently. It was a combination that could never have happened without Cold Interview.' This highlights how spontaneous and special the situation was at the time. The fact that a member of a representative K-pop girl group met a legendary first-generation idol through a variety show was a dream combination for fans.

In fact, G-Dragon was originally scheduled to appear on 'Dex's Cold Interview', but it was suddenly decided to film together with Sana's 'Sana's Cold Interview', bringing Dex, Sana, and G-Dragon together in one place. This coincidental meeting caused unexpected ripples.

A Single SNS Tag Sparks 'Love-stagram' Speculation

The dating rumor originated from G-Dragon's SNS activity last April. While G-Dragon was posting about TWICE's performance as a special guest at Coldplay's concert on his SNS, it was discovered that he tagged only Sana's account among the TWICE members. This sparked speculation known as 'Love-stagram', leading to dating rumors between the two.

At the time, various interpretations circulated among fans and netizens. It could have been a simple mistake or an intentional act, which heated up discussions online. Especially given G-Dragon's nature, there was a strong perception that all his SNS activities were intentional, garnering even more interest.

An Honest Confession of 'I Was Itching to Speak'

Sana expressed her feelings at the time very honestly. 'I didn't know if I could talk about it. (G-Dragon) posted my account on his SNS. The members knew that (G-Dragon) was on Cold Interview. It was just a few days after the recording, so I couldn't say anything, and that's why I was itching to speak too,' she revealed.

This confession vividly shows the frustration of celebrities when they are faced with rumors or misunderstandings. Knowing the truth but being unable to speak due to various circumstances, the difficulty and regret felt in such situations were succinctly expressed as 'I was itching to speak.' It is presumed that fellow members were even more frustrated as they knew the situation but could not explain it to the public.

A Month of Silence, the Reason Was to Prevent Spoilers

The reason G-Dragon's side remained silent for over a month has also been clearly revealed. In an official clarification in early June, it was stated, 'The reason we did not clarify the initial dating rumors was because we thought it could spoil the Cold Interview appearance.' This was a deliberate delay in clarification for the surprise appearance effect of the variety show.

Additionally, it was explained that 'it was simply a tag of Sana's personal social media account as a sign of friendliness shortly after the filming.' This implies that it was a natural expression of friendship after work, not a romantic relationship. However, it took about a month for this clarification to come out, during which Sana had to 'wait and wait.'

Natural Interactions Among Global Stars

This incident shows how natural interactions among K-pop stars can be misunderstood. Both G-Dragon and TWICE are representative K-pop artists active on the global stage, and meeting at a concert of a world-renowned band like Coldplay is entirely natural. However, as this meeting was made public through SNS, it sparked various speculations.

It is particularly interesting that the meeting through the variety show 'Cold Interview' provided the clue for such misunderstandings. The natural chemistry in the variety show led to curiosity about their actual relationship, reflecting the complex relationship network in the current K-entertainment industry.

TWICE's Continued Global Activities

Meanwhile, despite this incident, TWICE continues its global activities. They are currently on their sixth world tour 'This Is For' and recently became the first K-pop girl group to headline the major music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago.'

This shows that TWICE has solidified its status as a global music artist beyond just being an idol group. In particular, Sana's individual variety activity 'Cold Interview' is also receiving great attention both domestically and internationally, showcasing successful appearances in both group and individual activities.

Sana's honest confession this time is evaluated as a meaningful case in communication between celebrities and fans. By revealing the truth at an appropriate time when misunderstandings arose, it seems to have alleviated fans' curiosity and contributed to a healthy fan culture. It is expected that such honest and natural communication will help the positive development of K-pop culture in the future.
