Dating rumors involving BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter have once again ignited strong reactions among Korean netizens, this time tied to BTS’s upcoming album ARIRANG.
The controversy resurfaced after BTS revealed the ARIRANG album name and logo, with Jungkook confirming during a Weverse live that he participated in designing it. Soon after, some alleged the logo’s three circular shapes were linked to Jungkook’s supposed “three puppies” couple tattoo.

- “I heard that when Jungkook was in the U.S., he drew a lot of sketches on his tablet, asking things like ‘How about this?’ and ‘What about that?’ He apparently drew a ton, then sent around three or four ideas to the company. The development and actual execution were basically done by the company’s design team. Jungkook gave multiple ideas, but the company is the one that finalized that piece. Please think before you write stuff like this.”
- “Didn’t Jungkook come up with ideas by drawing various things on his tablet while he was in the U.S., then send them to the company for development? OP, I’ve been seeing you nonstop since last year. Could you please stop taking things way too far? When I see you, it honestly just looks like you’re stirring things up because you want BTS’s album to fail.”
- “It’s not like Jungkook personally colored and drew that exact design himself. He submitted multiple ideas to HYBE, and they either referenced them or made something the way they wanted. What is this unhinged person even saying? Are they calling HYBE’s design team incompetent? You think they’d just leave everything to Jungkook?”
- “What kind of person even is the OP? Seriously, ever since last time, it feels like they’re pretending to be a foreigner when they write posts. Do you really have nothing better to do? Why are they all swarming in together and mass-upvoting this? Hey, seriously, this isn’t it. Please tone down the forced hate. It’s only January 2026, and you’re already acting completely unhinged.”
- “It’s been almost two months since the dating rumor. Are people really still this obsessed and stuck in their delusions?”
