Daesung of the group BIGBANG has denied romance rumors with KARA's Heo Young-ji.
Daesung's agency, RND Company, stated on the 22nd to StarNews, "Daesung and Heo Young-ji are close colleagues."
Recently, photos showing Daesung and Heo Young-ji attending a concert by the group Mamamoo together spread on online communities and SNS.
In the photos, Daesung and Heo Young-ji were seen standing close, examining light sticks, chatting, and laughing, creating an affectionate atmosphere that sparked romance rumors.
Notably, Daesung's remarks on his YouTube channel "Jipdae-seong" last year, where he mentioned Heo Young-ji saying, "Hyung Taeyang told me to do well," has been re-examined, fueling the romance rumors. He also reportedly said, "When Cheongha appeared, she told me to do well, and this time, Young-ji said I was doing fine. It seems we had great banter," eliciting laughter.
However, it was reported that at the time, Mamamoo member Hyojung was also present at the scene with the two.
