On January 11, netizens pointed out that G-Dragon’s official account was following a fan account related to aespa’s Winter.
Screenshots quickly spread across online communities, showing that the BIGBANG leader was following only two accounts at the time — his own brand account and the Winter fan account. The following was later removed.

Many Korean netizens dismissed the situation as a simple mistake, pointing out that accidental follows are common, especially on mobile.

- “I can already see other fandom stans trying to stir things up while pretending it’s no big deal. Ignore them.”
- “Mistakes like that happen all the time. That follow or regram/share button is way too easy to misclick.”
- “G-Dragon accidentally following unrelated accounts happens often anyway. Ignore.”
- “Ignore.”
- “G-Dragon’s follows and likes are basically all over the place, so why even make a post like this? Feels like some stans are just using G-Dragon to drag Winter. Ignore, ignore, ignore.”
While some echoed Korean fans and called it an obvious accident, others jumped to far stronger conclusions. A number of international netizens framed the follow as intentional and began speculating about a possible relationship.

Some comments quickly turned aggressive, accusing G-Dragon of seeking attention or dragging Winter into unnecessary controversy.
His attention seeking ass is about to put out another unnecessary statement that’s gonna encourage his granny fanbase to harass yet another innocent woman https://t.co/a3xdT2auM2
