Jungkook and Winter Dating Rumors

The dating rumors involving Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook, 28) of the group BTS and Winter (Kim Minjeong, 24) of aespa are spreading widely.

Today (the 5th), suspicions regarding a romantic relationship between Jungkook and Winter have been circulating across online communities. Netizens have shared several pieces of evidence to support the theory of them dating.

The most significant evidence among these is their tattoos. Both Jungkook and Winter have tattoos of three dogs' faces inked on their arms. The similar appearance of their tattoos has raised suspicion that they might be a couple tattoo.

Jungkook, who is not typically seen at girl group concerts, also attracted attention for attending an aespa concert. Jungkook, who was on leave while serving in the military, was previously spotted at an aespa concert venue. Since Jungkook does not even show up at concerts for girl groups under other labels within his own agency, Hybe, there was much interest in the nature of his relationship with Winter at the time.

There are also speculations that Jungkook's Instagram ID is a couple ID. Jungkook's current Instagram ID is 'mnijungkook'. Although he previously stated that it is an abbreviation for 'my name is jungkook,' some netizens claim that switching the positions of the 'n' and 'i' makes it read 'Minjungkook,' referencing Winter's birth name, Kim Minjeong.

Regarding these dating rumors, the agencies of both sides, Hybe and SM, have yet to release a statement.
