G-Dragon Explains He Removed a Like from Jennie’s Video… “As a Way to Support Fans”

G-Dragon clarified the incident where he initially liked but later removed a like from a performance video by BLACKPINK’s Jennie, who was previously linked to him in romance rumors. On the 6th, he appeared on BIGBANG member Daesung’s YouTube channel “Jipdaeseong” and discussed the practice of being an “like fairy” on Instagram alongside actor Lee Soo-hyuk.

Daesung asked G-Dragon, “You’re also active as Kwon Ji-yong, but you also work as an ‘like fairy’ on Instagram—what’s your standard for that?” Lee Soo-hyuk speculated, “Don’t people make mistakes once in a while? Maybe it’s about the quantity,” to which G-Dragon responded, “That makes sense.”

G-Dragon provided specific details about his Instagram activities. “I post official content because I need to promote things, but there are many talented fans among them. They like my posts as a way to say ‘thank you for your support,’ and that motivates me to work harder,” he explained.

He added with a laugh, “I check it whenever I have a little free time and click likes very quickly during that short period—that’s how my fingerprint disappeared.” When Daesung mentioned that fans from various places report their ‘like survival status’ and feel validated when G-Dragon likes their posts, G-Dragon compared it to being a “power blogger” in the past.

Lee Soo-hyuk joked, “Those who don’t get liked might feel disappointed, so they try to find them and like their posts, which sometimes leads to mistakes,” to which G-Dragon replied, “I make mistakes often too. It’s because my hands are big,” showing his hands and eliciting laughter. He emphasized the supportive meaning behind fan interactions by saying, “Every time I like a post, fans say ‘you liked it,’ which motivates me to work even harder.”

G-Dragon made it clear that he has no specific standard for when to click likes.
