Gackt Tweets on Dokdo Grabs Attention

Ayumi and Gackt have been swept up in love rumors, and in the midst of the newfound attention, Gackt’s opinion on Dokdo has been dug up again.

On June 22, Japanese media outlets reported that Ayumi, or Iconiq in Japan, was dating the visual rock singer Gackt.

When the news hit Korea, many netizens became interested in Gackt himself. It has been revealed that he boasts close ties with Korea, as he was once wed to a Korean.

A previous statement he made on Twitter especially drew much interest. On March 30, 2011, Gackt retweeted a tweet reading ‘Dokdo is Korean territory!’ His actions caused him to receive many threats from rightist groups in Japan.

He didn’t let up, however, and continued to post texts that showed his favorable views toward Korea. His relationship with Ayumi, who is a Korean resident in Japan, again proved his views.

Ayumi once said in an interview in April, “I like someone. It’s a crush. I haven’t told him.”

Ayumi and Gackt Dating?!

Former Sugar member Ayumi has been caught up in love rumors with the popular Japanese singer Gackt.

On June 22, Sponichi Annex and other Japanese media outlets reported that Ayumi, known as Iconiq in the country, is currently dating the visual rock singer Gackt.

The relationship was first mentioned in a report by the paparazzi weekly magazine Friday. Friday released a photo of the two dating in a high-class restaurant that overlooks the Tokyo Tower, and added, ‘The two were really into their romance, and Gackt continuously held hands with Iconiq with a big smile on his face. They embraced before they left.’

Ayumi and Gackt first met through a media broadcast, and drew close through a mutual acquaintance. Recently, the two supposedly entered a serious relationship.

Reps from the agencies of Gackt and Ayumi have said carefully that the agencies have “put them in charge of their own personal lives.”
