Accordingly, during BTS' Jungkook livestream, the audience thoughtfully discovered that he was wearing a bracelet that was identical to Winter's previous use, thereby raising suspicions that the two were using "couples". "Evidence" compilation posts quickly spread, along with comparison photos and comments saying, "the two have the same items" or "are secretly dating".
However, most of the audience mocked, saying that this was an unfounded speculation. On the Nate Pann forum, many comments pointed out that this bracelet is a popular model used by many other idols. "Everyone wears this ring, not just two of them", "Nothing is the same, everyone looks back" ... are comments that do not believe this rumor.
A post listing a series of "love items" between Jungkook and Winter also became a topic of mockery. Many audiences said that trying to mix mix only hurt the artist, especially when Winter was heavily attacked by similar rumors in the past.
Although there was no confirmation from both sides, the rumor still attracted millions of views in just a few hours. However, the majority of opinions agreed that this is just a "producte of imagination" and expressed the desire that the audience should respect the private life of their idols instead of exaggerating meaningless details.
Previously, the aespa member was also rumored to be dating V BTS. The rumor originated from a video recording BTS V and Winter aespa sitting next to each other that went viral on social media.
The online community paid more attention when V once posted a sunflower icon on his Instagram story. This is also a typical symbol that Winter often uses. Previously, the two also posted close-up photos just a day apart, causing some to question "is it a coincidence?". However, this rumor was quickly pushed away by fans of both because it was too forced.
