Rumors of a romantic relationship between BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) Jungkook and aespa's WINTER have surfaced again. Recently, on social media and online communities, photos supporting the dating rumors between Jungkook and WINTER have been released, attracting attention. According to the released photos, the two have similar tattoos with three puppies lined up on their arms, drawing attention. Fans have also discussed how they have previously worn similar items such as bracelets, shorts, earphones, and nails. Furthermore, it was pointed out that Jungkook, who was in the military, attended aespa's performance during his leave. Regarding their dating rumors, HYBE commented to My Daily on the morning of the 5th, saying, 'We are checking.' SM Entertainment also briefly stated, 'We have no comment.' Additionally, Jungkook explained that his Instagram account name 'mnijungkook' is an abbreviation for 'my name is jungkook,' but when changing just the 'n' and 'i,' it becomes 'Min Jungkook,' which some fans say resembles WINTER's Instagram account name 'imwinter.' Some fans also interpreted it as a combination of WINTER's real name (Kim Minjeong) and 'jungkook.' Prior to this, dating rumors about Jungkook had also emerged in 2023. At that time, he conducted a livestream and stated, 'I don't have a girlfriend. There is no girlfriend, and I am not dating. I want to focus on work, so I don't feel the need for it.'
