Big Bang member G-Dragon has been getting a lot of encouragement from his supporters after admitting he is having a hard time battling with smoking in his latest Instagram post.

"It's hard to quit smoking," reads the photo caption which shows an image of the KPop star with an electronic cigarette, All KPop reported. The post has received 372,000 likes and almost 12,000 supportive comments from his fans.

”I'm so happy for you! Cutting down on addiction is the best solution to a happy healthy life!” wrote one fan in the comment box. Another supporter added: “Be strong, you can do it, it is only a little time and then it is not that hard anymore”.

Meanwhile, label agency KeyEast has recently released a statement regarding the dating issues thrown to their talent Goo Hara and G-Dragon. The rumors started to flood the internet after the two stars were spotted to be hanging out together in one of Korea’s major theme parks alongside Brown Eyed Girls member Ga In and Sulli.

According to the agency as quoted by All KPop: “The dating rumors going around on fan pages are ridiculous. G-Dragon and Hara are friends. There were other people there too. They don't have a special relationship."

In the past, G-Dragon has been also linked to several celebrities including his fellow YG Entertainment talent Sandara Park of the recently disbanded group 2NE1 after they were seen together in an event. However, Park denied the issue and claimed that she “don’t date at work”.

Born as Kwon Ji Yong, G-Dragon began his entertainment career after joining Big Bang alongside T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri in August 2006. He currently stands as the group’s leader.

In 2009, the 28-year-old star pursued his solo career and released his debut album “Heartbreaker”. In fact, his recent collaboration song with Zion.T titled "Complex” currently holds the top spot in iTunes charts in Macao and Vietnam.
