BTS Jungkook Sparks Dating Rumors With aespa Winter Through Instagram Update

BTS’s Jungkook is sparking buzz again after updating his Instagram with characters from Netflix’s hit anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

The controversy began when Jungkook changed his profile picture to David, the show’s male lead, and set Lucy, the female lead, as the cover image for his music highlight reel. Fans quickly noticed something familiar.

Lucy’s short blonde hair looks almost identical to aespa star Winter’s current hairstyle for the LEMONADE era. Side-by-side comparisons flooded Twitter and TikTok, with fans pointing out the striking similarity.

Jungkook is known as an anime fan and recently praised Cyberpunk: Edgerunners during a fan Q&A. His Instagram update only fueled speculation about his rumored relationship with Winter.
