On October 10, a post titled “I didn’t expect Ju Yeon and Winter” was shared, attracting more than 65,000 views on social media. In it, the post owner implied that Ju Yeon (The Boyz) and Winter (aespa) were together.
The article pointed out that The Boyz's Ju Yeon "accidentally" liked a photo of Winter on Instagram. Although there is little evidence that the two are together, the topic of the Aespa member's dating has still caused a stir.
Some people think that Ju Yeon really likes Winter. Meanwhile, others feel that the dating rumor is not true. Ju Yeon just accidentally liked the photo and the two are not in a romantic relationship.
Below the post, netizens excitedly left comments: "Celebrities liking each other's photos no longer confuses me", "He must have accidentally liked a photo that appeared on his personal page", "He was clearly caught looking at her photos"...
Notably, some fans have noticed that Ju Yeon and Winter's current story is similar to V (BTS) and Jennie (Blackpink) in the past. Accordingly, they were caught "accidentally" liking each other's photos on social media.
At that time, fans strongly denied the rumors between the two and thought that the two just happened to see each other's photos on social media.
It wasn't until 2022, when evidence of the couple dating was revealed while traveling to Jeju Island, that the entire fan community was "shocked" about the couple's relationship.
However, the story between aespa members and The Boyz is just speculation. The couple's management company has yet to officially comment on the incident.
