Over the last few months, dating rumors between aespa‘s Winter and BTS‘s Jungkook have been a topic of discussion.

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.
aespa’s Winter Recent Actions Regarding Alleged “Couple Tattoo” With BTS’s Jungkook Spark Backlash
Now Jungkook’s most recent activities have been linked to Winter again.
On March 26, Jungkook went on a following spree on Tikok following numerous idols and groups both in HYBE and outside of HYBE.

While everyone was also watching who he followed, some focus was placed on who he didn’t.
NewJeans was not followed, but due to the group’s current status with HYBE, it was almost anticipated they would not be. However, some noticed that though other SM Entertainment groups, including EXO, were followed, aespa was not.
Netizens called this out, stating that it looked more suspicious that he did not follow the group, rather than if he would have followed.
ガチやん、BLACKPINKどころかジェニもリサもフォローしてるのに本当にaespaだけフォローされてないやん😂
つーかこのメンツの中にaespaだけ無いの不自然が過ぎるだろ、何で急にこんなこと始めたん❓❓❓（昨日のナム：ジョングクは何を考えてるのか分からない） https://t.co/gErdlhPfx6 pic.twitter.com/9cZuaf5zjw

Wait this is real lol — he follows not just BLACKPINK but even Jennie and Lisa, but aespa really is the only one he’s not following 😂
Like seriously, it’s too unnatural that aespa is the only one missing from this lineup… why did he suddenly start doing this???
(Namjoon yesterday: ‘I don’t understand what Jungkook is thinking’)

NO AESPA WHY WHY WHY ?? AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND JUNGKOOK? https://t.co/0oDwX3DYmk

He doesn’t follow aespa only makes it obvious that they are dating and that he knows about the rumors 🐶
