On Nate Pann, an OP has gained over 55,000 views for their thread showing “proof” of them dating, with notes in both English and Korean.
The first saw the recent discourse about Jungkook not removing his jacket at the airport, with allegations he was trying to avoid showing off his arm and “couple tattoo.”
While the other BTS members and regular passengers all followed the law by taking off their coats and going through the full-body scanner, Jungkook was the only one who didn’t take off his jacket and went right through to hide his couple tattoo, violating airport regulations.
Even the moment where Jungkook’s manager asked the airport staff to let Jungkook go through without taking off his jacket was completely caught on camera.
Many fans were so pissed off seeing Jungkook’s delayed return to Korea. There were a ton of speculations that he was stalling time just to attend Winter’s concert, and this was actually the top comment back then:

There was then a picture of Jungkook wearing a ring, which the OP described as one for a “proposal.”
An eyewitness account popped up claiming that Jungkook bought a diamond ring for a proposal. They say he wore it on his pinky finger because he was afraid of losing it, and he bought it to give to Winter. Plus, on his finger with the ‘MJ’ tattoo, he was wearing a couple ring that matches with Winter.
It then looked at the actions at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
As soon as the iHeartRadio Music Festival stage ended, Jungkook was so excited to leave that he was the very first one to pack up and go. Just like he always does at his own concerts, he left before anyone else. He is forcing himself to endure the heat even though it’s hot, just because his couple tattoo will show if he takes off his jacket.
Because of Jungkook, the concerts are completely boring, the stages are 360-degree, and there’s barely any choreography. Even for the few choreographies they do have, he has zero energy because he can’t take off his jacket and is probably suffering from the heat. Also, in the front rows of BTS concerts, HYBE staff members are glaring and monitoring closely to catch anyone with fansite cameras (DSLRs), and any fansite masters (hommas) who get caught are exiled all the way to the back rows. They are thoroughly blocking it because they’re terrified someone will take high-res photos of Jungkook accidentally exposing his tattoo. Whenever Jungkook goes near those staff members during the idol performances, he greets them.

There was also allegations about his behavior and comments.
Jungkook threw a fit at the reporters at the airport, asking why they were taking pictures. It’s exactly the same as before when he returned from a date in Japan with Winter; back then, he also lost his temper and threw a fit because reporters caught him.
Before this, Jungkook used to call ARMYs his girlfriends and whatnot, but lately, every time he turns on a live stream, he draws a hard line, telling ARMYs that they are just friends and should only think of him as a friend. He’s deliberately softening the blow and building up to it beforehand, giving ARMYs a warning shot so they won’t be as shocked when he suddenly announces his marriage.
They also brought links to Winter, including an interview with her crush on a Korean actor and tied it into Jungkook.
Winter revealed in an interview that her childhood dream was to marry a celebrity, which is why she became an idol, and her mom supported her. However, a sasaeng who used to be Winter’s friend exposed that the celebrity she wanted to marry changed to Jungkook as she grew up. In the end, she stopped being a BTS sasaeng and debuted as an idol herself. If you look at Winter’s past mirror selfie before her face and body plastic surgeries (the picture where she’s holding a Samsung phone and touching her hair), you can tell that when that photo was taken, it was the exact moment she fiercely made up her mind with the dream of becoming an idol and marrying Jungkook.
There were also other “evidence” the OP shared, trying to link the two together.

In the comments, netizens hit back at the OP’s long thread, saying that the person needed help and even hit back at some of the “evidence,” including issues at the airport and accusations about them meeting in Korea and abroad.

“Jesus f*cking Christ, seriously, stop with this shit. Every time I’m about to forget about it, this crap comes back lol. I guess they really have nothing better to do.”
“This is why this forum has gone to shit. It’s crawling with mentally ill people.”
“If you’re sick, go to a hospital… Jesus.”
“The forum losers are writing another fucking fanfic. If you violate airport laws, the airport employees who let you through would get in trouble too. What the fuck are you talking about? LOL. Have you never traveled abroad? 😭😭😭😭
And you forum losers, do you even know how far the U.S. East Coast and West Coast are from each other? Do you think they’re as close together as places in Korea? LOL. You made up a whole story based on your delusions about the two of them meeting after the concert, but when Jungkook came straight back to Korea after finishing his personal schedule, you deleted all your delusional tweets and locked your account LOLLLLL.”
