On March 26, Jungkook went on a TikTok following spree, adding numerous K-Pop idols and groups from both HYBE and other agencies. While fans initially focused on who he followed, attention quickly shifted to who he didn’t.

At the time, many pointed out that aespa was missing from the list. This stood out even more as he had followed other SM Entertainment artists like EXO. Some netizens argued that not following aespa looked more suspicious, especially given the ongoing dating rumors between Jungkook and Winter.
Now, the situation has flipped.

Jungkook has since followed aespa on TikTok, and the interaction immediately went viral across Korean online communities. One post on TheQoo alone surpassed 80,000 views, showing just how interested fans remain in the dating rumors between Jungkook and Winter.

Reactions have been mixed. Some believe the follow means nothing and criticize the constant scrutiny over his actions. Others argue that, given the long-running rumors, even small interactions like this will continue to fuel speculation.

- “Looking at the list, if he hadn’t followed aespa, someone would’ve made a post saying ‘out of all these groups, he didn’t follow aespa’ lol.”
- “I mean, everyone already knows they’re dating, so who cares whether he follows them or not.”
- “Since everyone already knows they’re dating, wouldn’t it make sense for him to be cautious and not follow them…?”
- “They’re the kind of couple who even got matching tattoos, do you really think following is a big deal? lol.”
- “LOL if aespa was missing, people would’ve made an even bigger fuss, no?”
- “He followed that many people, but my fave still isn’t there… I need to work harder as a fan.”
- “Why does it not matter? The other person ends up getting dragged into it because of him.”
With both following and not following aespa drawing attention, it’s clear that any move Jungkook makes online is being closely analyzed amid the ongoing speculation.
