Controversial Military Story Involving BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter Ignites Mixed Responses

BTS’s Jungkook is facing fresh controversy over his rumored relationship with aespa’s Winter—and it’s going viral with mixed reactions online.
The drama began when a TikTok comment screenshot surfaced. It claims someone who served in Jungkook’s military unit said Jungkook kept saying “winter” a lot. Not just talking about the season, but in a way that made it seem like everyone in the unit knew about his rumored relationship with Winter.
Someone I know served in the same unit as JGi (used acronym), and they said he kept saying all summer, ‘Ah it’s so nice~~ Ah it’s winter~~ Winter, Winter,’ so everyone in the unit already knew.
The comment dropped under a video about Winter, making fans link it directly to Jungkook.

This sparked a viral buzz on X (formerly Twitter).
