aespa’s Winter
Last year, dating rumors between BTS‘s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter hit a fever pitch. After initial allegations were met with skepticism, more “proof” convinced netizens, including the pair’s supposed couple tattoos.
Since then, the public has scrutinized the two idols, with this fueling the criticism most. Now, it has been brought back to light following one of aespa’s recent performances.
On February 7, aespa held their SYNK: AEXIS LINE world tour and recently completed dates in Hong Kong.

The show went off without a hitch and fans enjoyed seeing the group perform in person. Like most shows, fansites also attended and photographed the group before sharing their content online.
One of Winter’s fansites shared a set of images of the idol, which initially did not attract negative attention.

She cover her tattoo like the coward she is coz she is scared of losing MYS money but at the same time she shameless wear Balenciaga and even same Jungkook shoes when she barely wore Balenciaga before 2026. Winter enjoy to laugh at her fans faces and she’s not subtle about it🤣 https://t.co/cHAM42JQmT pic.twitter.com/fvpT4WLACI
