1. [+452, -33] Well YG is obviously trying to hide the negative impact it will have on GD's image if they admit that their artist who has a drug scandal of his own is dating some right-wing Yasukuni worshiping psycho ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+421, -29] Isn't YG unable to confirm GD's relationship because that Kiko girl has tons of scandals from talks of drugs and disrespecting Korea and all?

3. [+339, -28] YG's media play has always been like this... their #1 rule is to stay quiet if it impacts them negatively. Even with Bom's scandal, Yang Hyun Suk media played using emotions (and shockingly lied about how her friend died) which Segye Ilbo later denied and then he shut up after that. Trash media play its finest.

4. [+22, -1] It's not Big Bang dating that's the problem, it's who they're dating ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+21, -9] No one cares that they're dating, it's just who they're dating. GD dating that Tiko or Kiko or whatever with a right-wing scandal is what people are talking about.

6. [+18, -1] How dare you compare Min Hyo Rin to that Kiko!

7. [+16, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ Min Hyo Rin has never been in any scandals and people reacted positively to her so they confirmed the relationship, which is completely different to how people reacted to Kiko so YG obviously can't come out with it ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+15, -0] No one's saying that Big Bang can't date. They're all at an age where they should be able to. The only difference is that people react differently according to who they're dating. Kiko has had tons of scandals in the past so of course people aren't going to like her. Why bother writing such a useless article?

9. [+13, -7] The difference lies in the reactions ㅋㅋ YG is comfortable confirming Min Hyo Rin because she's someone they can be proud to be associated with whereas they're not confirming Kiko even with an abundance of picture evidence because they're not confident being associated with her ㅋㅋㅋ Man, I'd feel pretty bad if I was in a pretty much public relationship but YG refused to acknowledge me ㅋㅋ

10. [+10, -0] Because even YG is embarrassed to acknowledge Kiko ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Min Hyo Rin's pretty and has a positive image whereas everyone's too embarrassed of GD's first official girlfriend Kiko and don't want to leave a history of her on their records
