Recently, BTS Jungkook posted a selfies on his personal Instagram. This is also the first time the male idol has shared a photo since creating a new account.
In this photo, Jungkook looked straight into the camera and wore a face mask. Many fans quickly contacted the Bubble message that Winter aespa sent to fans not long before. Accordingly, the female member of aespa told fans to stay warm and "not stay cold" when it was cold and snowing.
Therefore, the photo of Jungkook posting a photo wearing a mask was considered by many to be Jungkook's indirect "responsive" to Winter. Some opinions said that Jungkook was too tactless at a sensitive time, when his name was being discussed everywhere.
On the other hand, there are also many opinions defending Jungkook, saying that combining all of idols' moves with dating rumors is an exaggerated estimate. Some fans emphasized that Jungkook is a member who regularly interacts with fans and that posting personal photos should not be over-scrutinized. According to them, both Jungkook and Winter are just trying to reconnect with their fandom after a period of silence.
Previously, the Korean media exploded with dating rumors of Jungkook and Winter because both were members of two famous music groups. Netizens have produced many "prove" to prove that the two are dating, such as the dog tattoos on both arms look similar, the two users of the same type of headphones only have different colors, the color of hand nail paint is the same on the ring finger of the left hand, bracelets with the same design, T-shirts of the same brand...
Regarding the dating rumors of the two idols, on December 5, HYBE Group spoke up: "We are verifying".
However, both Jungkook's management company - Big Hit Music (under HYBE) and Winter's management company - SM Entertainment later responded to Korean media: "We have nothing to comment on."
Currently, neither Jungkook nor Winter have denied or acknowledged this rumor.
