The Big Bang rapper told SBS radio he likes a girl who can cook … and Jennie’s skills are obvious on reality show Blackpink House and her YouTube channel

G-Dragon showed up on Jennie’s Instagram Live in 2020, and we’re pretty sure we spotted him behind the scenes in the group’s Lovesick Girls MV clip

Fans haven’t stopped buzzing about Jennie and G-Dragon, K-pop’s new hottest couple, since news of their relationship broke last week.

Naturally, now we’re wondering if there were any hints about their relationship that we might have missed – especially when other Korean celebrity couples had us facepalming over not realising sooner.

After some digging, we found that Jennie and G-Dragon have both discussed their ideal types in the past and – how about that? – they seem to have described each other to a T.

Here’s everything we know …

G-Dragon’s type: someone who loves music, cooking and helping him learn

G-Dragon debuted with BigBang 15 years ago, which means he’s had ample time to discuss his type on different TV shows over the years. In 2011, he appeared on SBS’ Choi Hwa-jung’s Power Time and confessed that, “I like women who cook well and have much knowledge in other fields that I am not familiar with.”

And, lo and behold, Jennie appears to be a confident cook. In the reality show Blackpink House, she often led the rest of the band in cooking sessions, producing goodies like two-toned chocolate and strawberry macarons. Her bandmates even jokingly call her Jennie Ramsey. She has also posted videos of herself cooking on her YouTube channel.

It’s probably safe to assume her cooking skills are attractive to G-Dragon – as is her linguistic talent, as she’s a polyglot who can speak Korean, English, Japanese and French.

G-Dragon talked about what he likes in a significant other once again on SBS reality show Thank You in 2013. He described marriage as a “friendship”, saying he hoped his wife would enjoy music. He even said he’d like to let his loved one listen to his work first so that she could give him feedback on it.
