Screenshots quickly spread across online communities, showing that the BIGBANG leader was following only two accounts at the time — his own brand account and the Winter fan account. The following was later removed.

Many Korean netizens dismissed the situation as a simple mistake, pointing out that accidental follows are common, especially on mobile.

  • “I can already see other fandom stans trying to stir things up while pretending it’s no big deal. Ignore them.”
  • “Mistakes like that happen all the time. That follow or regram/share button is way too easy to misclick.”
  • “G-Dragon accidentally following unrelated accounts happens often anyway. Ignore.”
  • “Ignore.”
  • “G-Dragon’s follows and likes are basically all over the place, so why even make a post like this? Feels like some stans are just using G-Dragon to drag Winter. Ignore, ignore, ignore.”

While some echoed Korean fans and called it an obvious accident, others jumped to far stronger conclusions. A number of international netizens framed the follow as intentional and began speculating about a possible relationship.

Some comments quickly turned aggressive, accusing G-Dragon of seeking attention or dragging Winter into unnecessary controversy.
