The allegations came roaring in 2025, fueled by claims of matching outfits, accessories, and even purple nail polish on their ring fingers. Then came the tattoo: a small design featuring three dogs in a row, spotted on both idols in roughly the same spot above the elbow… That’s when things really took off.
New Viral “Proof” Of BTS’s Jungkook And aespa’s Winter Dating Spark Major Reactions
Now, a new video from BTS’s practice session for their massive Seoul comeback concert has gone viral after bringing Jungkook’s alleged tattoo into the spotlight.
The video shows the BTS star raising his arm while rehearsing the show’s closing bow, and eagle-eyed fans immediately zeroed in on what appears to be that same three-puppy tattoo.

Neither BigHit Music nor SM Entertainment has definitely commented on the dating allegations, and the silence has only kept the speculation alive. Jungkook and Winter themselves have not directly addressed the rumors either.
