Corporate Reactions to BTS Jungkook and aespa Winter Dating Speculations Spark Intense Responses

Jungkook and Winter hit the center of dating rumors again with zero response from their agencies.

The controversy started when fans noticed matching tattoos of three dog faces on both Jungkook (BTS) and Winter (aespa) in the same spots. Online communities blew up after spotting overlapping items — like shorts, slippers, bracelets, and in-ear monitors — and matching ring finger nail art done just a day apart.

Eyewitnesses added fuel by claiming Jungkook attended an aespa concert during his military service. Fans say this is unusual since Jungkook never visited other girl group concerts under HYBE while enlisted.

Both BigHit Music and SM Entertainment have stayed completely silent, refusing to comment.

This isn’t the first time either has faced dating rumors. Jungkook’s agency denied rumors with actress Lee Yu Bi in 2021. Winter quickly denied dating rumors with ENHYPEN’s Jungwon last December. But the current silence from both sides has fans screaming:

Is no comment basically acknowledgement?
Only the fans are left going crazy.
They should say no if it’s not true, so looks like it is.
It’s so funny how they’re dodging acknowledgement when they’re making it so obvious.
They already made it so obvious anyway.

With no denials, many believe the silence is an unspoken confirmation.

The dating rumors aren’t going away any time soon with nothing official to shut them down. Fans are left piecing it all together—and waiting for a statement.
