Jungkook Reportedly References Aespa’s Winter in BTS’s Latest Album
Jungkook is facing controversy after fans linked his new BTS album logo to dating rumors with aespa‘s Winter.
The rumors started over a month ago when fans noticed Jungkook and Winter seemed to share tattoos in the same spot. Since then, fans have been obsessed with every detail.
On January 16, BTS announced their new album and Jungkook revealed he personally designed the album logo featuring three red circles.
Soon after, fans pointed out the three circles looked just like the “three puppies” tattoo Jungkook has — which many believe is a hidden couple tattoo with Winter.
“Jungkook is such a genius ”

“Jungkook being this down bad for Winter is crazy Even his group project is about her ”

But not everyone agrees. Some fans pushed back hard, explaining the logo actually just spells “Arirang” in Korean.
“Whoever keeps saying that the logo that jungkook designed and worked on for arirang is connected to that season girl is so stupid because this is how arirang is literally written in Korean. I will talk about this because I will not stop calling people out for this behaviour.”

The issue divided fans even more. Some claimed Jungkook ruined BTS’s comeback with the album design.
“Literally ruined BTS most awaited album logo with his ugly design”

“What would his fan will feel when their long wait album logo actually represent his tattoo couple. He must think about her while design it not about army at all…”
