G-Dragon and PEACEMINUSONE recently announced a collaboration with Nike for a special football-inspired collection ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In particular, amid the photos and advertisements, Karina was also featured in the promotional images.
The OP used these images to question the relationship between the two, seemingly hinting at them dating, particularly bringing up that her image had the signature G-Dragon daisy.
Yet, the rumors sparked major backlash towards the OP, explaining that it’s just a standard senior and junior relationship and the photos are because Karina is an ambassador for Nike.

- “Stop being so obsessive/crazy. G-Dragon did a collaboration with Nike Korea, and Karina is a Nike model. That’s why they appeared together in the post. Sigh, don’t you have anything better to do?”
- “They’re just a senior and junior in the industry.”
- “What do you mean ‘what is it’? It’s nothing. Karina is a Nike ambassador, and the other side is doing a Nike collaboration. What is there to connect or make a story out of here? lol”
- “If you’re mentally ill, go to a psychiatric hospital, ma’am.”
- “That grandma is at it again, going off with her crazy delusions about aespa and G-Dragon lol. Seriously, it’s disgusting. It’s so obvious who she’s a fan of, lol.”
