Captured By BTS’s Jungkook? — aespa Winter’s Instagram Sparks Intense Reactions
aespa’s Winter is facing controversy again over dating rumors with BTS’s Jungkook.
The controversy began after Winter posted photos on Instagram of herself posing at a kids’ playground. The vibe from the pics was what some called a “girlfriend aesthetic.”
Soon after, netizens went viral connecting the post to Jungkook, claiming he took the photos.
A trending post on Pann pushed the theory hard.
Just looking at Winter’s Instagram, it obviously looks like Jungkook took the photo.
Anyone can tell it was taken by her boyfriend, and honestly, it’s kind of impressive that she’d upload something like a ‘girlfriend pic’ at a time like this.

As the situation escalated, many netizens pushed back hard. They pointed out the playground is near aespa’s dorm, meaning if Jungkook really took the photos, it would’ve been exposed already.
Fans and others said the Han River photos previously rumored to be taken by Jungkook or V were actually snapped by a hometown friend — making this dating claim even less believable.
Comments included:
“? That place is literally Winter’s dorm. If someone openly took a photo there, they’d 100% get caught lol. And didn’t people say before that Winter’s Han River photos were taken by Jungkook or V, only for it to turn out it was actually her hometown friend who took them? You idiots.”
“Honestly, I don’t think the fans are the ones with issues. It’s definitely the OP who’s unwell.”
“LOL this is driving me insane. If someone took a photo that openly, she would’ve already been photographed by sasaengs and it would’ve been absolute chaos. Just thinking about it is terrifying.”
“Seriously, this kind of forced hate doesn’t get any worse.”
“The delusion is next level… sheesh.”
No official statement has been made by either Winter or Jungkook’s sides. Fans and netizens continue to monitor the drama as it unfolds.
