In a recent candid conversation with fans, TWICE’s Sana directly addressed the viral dating rumor involving BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, putting speculation to rest while shedding light on the behind-the-scenes moments that led to the buzz.
The comments were made during the latest episode of her YouTube series Sana’s Fridge Interview, specifically the finale titled “Reading your comments on Sana’s interview”, where she reflected on the show’s second season and its memorable guest appearances.
The Origin of the Rumor: One Instagram Tag That Went Viral
The dating rumor between Sana and G-Dragon first sparked in April, when G-Dragon shared a clip from Coldplay’s Seoul concert on his personal social media.
The video featured TWICE’s performance as a guest act, but what truly caught fans’ attention was that G-Dragon tagged only Sana in the post — igniting widespread speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Almost immediately, the online K-pop community buzzed with theories and rumors, with fans dissecting the meaning behind the tag.
While the post lacked any direct romantic implication, the singling out of Sana led many to wonder whether there was more to their interaction than met the eye.

G-Dragon’s Side Offers Clarification
Not long after the speculation began to intensify, G-Dragon’s team stepped in to clarify the situation.
According to them, the Instagram tag was a friendly gesture, made shortly after G-Dragon and Sana recorded their episode of ‘Fridge Interview’ together.
His side explained that the reason they didn’t immediately address the rumor was due to the need to avoid spoiling his surprise appearance on the show.
“The tag was simply a friendly gesture shortly after filming Fridge Interview.
The reason we didn’t explain it right away was because revealing the connection might spoil his appearance on the show,” G-Dragon’s team stated.
This explanation helped cool down some of the speculation, but fans still awaited further clarification — especially from Sana herself.
Sana Breaks Her Silence: “My Lips Were Itching to Tell”
During the new Fridge Interview episode, Sana finally shared her side of the story, confirming the timing and context of the viral post. Reflecting on G-Dragon’s episode alongside fellow guest Dex, she said:
“That day was truly memorable. It really felt like we just suddenly counted ‘one, two, three’ and gathered. It’s a combination of people that would never have met if not for Fridge Interview.”
She also acknowledged the social media post that caused the uproar:
“I don’t know if I should say this, but my account appeared on his SNS. The members knew he was on Fridge Interview, but since it was only a few days after recording, we couldn’t say ‘He’s on the show.’ My lips were itching to tell, but I waited and waited, and it finally came out a month later.”
Her comments confirmed that the Instagram tag was more of a behind-the-scenes nod to their upcoming joint appearance on the show rather than any indication of a personal relationship.
A Memorable Season of ‘Fridge Interview’
Sana used the opportunity to express gratitude and nostalgia for the experiences she gained through Fridge Interview Season 2.
The YouTube series has become a fan-favorite for its casual format, honest conversations, and surprise guest appearances — blending K-pop entertainment with personality-driven content.
Her reflection on the final episode revealed how meaningful and surprising the guest line-ups were, including the unexpected appearance of G-Dragon, a legendary figure in K-pop, alongside popular influencer Dex.
TWICE’s Historic Lollapalooza Performance
Meanwhile, Sana’s reflections come during a monumental time for TWICE, as the group continues their sixth world tour, titled “THIS IS FOR”. On August 2, TWICE became the first K-pop girl group to headline the iconic Lollapalooza Chicago music festival, which took place in Grant Park, Chicago.

Fan Reactions and Closing Thoughts
Fan reactions to Sana’s comments have largely been supportive, with many expressing appreciation for her openness and sense of humor.
While dating rumors are not uncommon in the K-pop world, Sana’s calm and authentic approach helped provide clarity while deepening fans’ connection to her and the group.
