Jungkook of BTS Receives Intense Criticism Over Recent Actions After Addressing Dating Speculations

BTS’s Jungkook is facing major backlash over dating rumors with aespa’s Winter — and fans are furious.
The controversy started in early December, when rumors about the two dating picked up serious steam. Fans pointed to alleged “couple” tattoos on Jungkook and Winter as proof. Both SM Entertainment and HYBE said they would “look into it,” but neither side has given any official statement since. The silence is angering fans more.

Soon after, fans backlash worsened following Winter’s Bubble update. Jungkook was then spotted at G-Dragon’s world tour finale, enjoying the concert with other idols like J-Hope, SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi, and Mingyu.

Fans slammed Jungkook for attending the event without addressing the rumors.
A viral tweet captured the anger:
“와.. 진짜 기쎄다 멘탈 장난아니네 팬 생각은 안중에도 없구나 대박이다 하.. 내가 방탄팬은 아닌데 내 돌도 나중에 다 뜨고나서 이렇게 변할까봐 무섭다 돈 벌만큼 벌고 인기 많아지고 이러면 팬들 맘에 대못 꽂을까봐 겁나 덕질 하지말아야하나.. 씁쓸하네” — @mangto882769
Another fan showed their frustration:
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 니 진심 알겠고~ 먹금하겠단거 확실히 알겠고~ 팬들 호구로 보는거 fucking알겠고~” — @diki_iii
Fans are not holding back:
- “He’s really reached a whole new level now. It’s not like this is the first time or just a day or two of scandals. Wow, I almost felt proud enough to tell him to just quit.”
- “Ah, Jungkook, so you went to Gocheok too… We’re fucking furious, and you’re out there having fun going to a concert…”
- “LOL Okay, I totally get how sincere you are~ I definitely get that you’re saying you’re gonna ignore it~ And I f*cking get that you see your fans as total suckers~”
