In addition to the controversy, the annual charity event Love Your W organized by W Korea magazine also attracted attention because of the dating rumors between V BTS and Winter aespa.
A video recording BTS V and Winter aespa sitting next to each other quickly went viral on social media, sparking dating rumors between the two.
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, many audiences spoke up to defend the two idols. On theqoo forum, many comments said that it was completely normal for the two idols to get to know each other. Others expressed their fatigue when BTS V has been constantly "paired" with female idols recently.
Recently, BTS V was also rumored to be dating Jang Won Young (IVE). The story began when the two attended Paris Fashion Week and answered interviews related to the beef horn cake in France. V and Jang Won Young were criticized by the audience for checking in at the same location. On August 4, V posted a photo of himself eating at a San San restaurant in Seoul, Korea, and the next day, the Kpop beauty also revealed that she went to eat at the restaurant that was identical to V.
Before Winter aespa, Jang Won Young (IVE), V BTS was also continuously rumored to be dating famous female idol Jennie Blackpink. At the recent Paris Fashion Week, when asked about her favorite dish in France, Jennie also smiled and said it was beef horn cake. This detail continues to raise suspicions of dating between the two idols.
The dating rumors between V BTS and Jennie Blackpink started with V following Jennie on Instagram and quickly removed her. After that, a series of photos that were said to be of V and Jennie on a private date went viral on social media. However, up to now, V and Jennie have never made any move regarding the dating rumors between the two.
