On the evening of December 25th, the SBS Gayo Daejeon 2025 year-end music festival took place at Inspire Arena, Incheon (Korea), hosted by the trio MC Yujin (IVE), Jaemin (NCT) and Young K (DAY6).
The event gathers many famous idol groups such as Stray Kids, TXT, IVE, aespa, LE SSERAFIM, CORTIS, ITZY, ILLIT, NCT Dream, NCT Wish, ATEE, Baby Monster, MEOVV, Allday Project, Treasure...
In addition to performances, the event red carpet is also of interest as each artist and band invests in their appearance.
In particular, the appearance of Winter and members of the aespa group became a topic of discussion. The female idol wore a mint-blue strapless dress, with natural straight hair with a gentle makeup style.
What attracts public attention is that Winter's arm tattoo, once suspected of being a "double tattoo" with Jungkook (BTS), has been covered up.
Throughout the photoshoot, Winter rarely moved her hands. The online community believes that the female singer seems to pay close attention to controlling gestures to avoid revealing the tattoo area.
Previously, dating rumors of Jungkook and Winter exploded in early December, after the online community pointed out a series of "signs" showing that the two artists had a romantic relationship - including similar tattoos on their arms, Jungkook attending aespa's concert during military service, similar rings and headphones, and the nail design on his ring finger looking similar...
Both HYBE and SM Entertainment management companies did not give a clear response, but only said: "We have nothing to comment on", making many people believe that this silence can be understood as a way to acknowledge the relationship between the two artists.
Dating news caused a stir and division in the fan community of the two groups aespa and BTS. Among them, fans sent trucks with protest messages to SM and HYBE headquarters, not accepting the Winter and Jungkook dating.
On Winter's side, she remains silent until now. The female idol shows an attitude of disregard for rumors, confidently attending events and the year-end red carpet.
Many opinions believe that Winter covering up tattoos when participating in public events is to avoid excessive discussions related to dating rumors with Jungkook.
Jungkook rarely appears publicly and is completing a new album with BTS members and practicing to prepare for the group's comeback in the spring of 2026.
