It was not long ago that G-Dragon's split with model/actress Kiko Mizuhara flooded the media. While it was never confirmed if Jiyong was indeed dating Kiko, their alleged break-up has perhaps raised hopes for his fans.

And why not? GD has taken on his new avatar as a virtual boyfriend through Naver's "V" app. On Wednesday, the Korean rapper was his playful self on his live streaming show, "1+1=GD." Jiyong looked extremely comfortable and cheerful as he lay on his bed and chatted with his loyal fandom.

If G-Dragon's fans expected to talk to him about his music, BIGBANG's recent world tour or even about his bromance with band mate Taeyang, they were in for a surprise. The usually reticent G-Dragon opened up about his love life and said, "I don't have a girlfriend. And I'm going to assume you guys don't have boyfriends either and talk as if I'm video-chatting with my girlfriend."

GD also revealed that he is quite shy and said he is very "charming" when he is with his girlfriend, but the rapper doesn't act the same way when he is in public, reported Kpopstarz.

For now,  Jiyong seems to enjoy single life, as he is busy with quite a few projects in the pipeline. Recently, GD collaborated with Italian footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti to launch a limited edition of men and women's footwear, according to fashion blog, WWD.

The rapper's live stream show on "V" app is part of his band's effort to celebrate their nine-year anniversary. G-Dragon's "1+1=GD" will take place place every Wednesday at 11pm KST.
