Reports that BTS member Jungkook followed girl group aespa on TikTok have resurfaced online rumors linking him to aespa member Winter.
On social media and online communities, users said they spotted Jungkook following aespa’s official TikTok account. The activity prompted renewed discussion of earlier dating rumors involving Winter.
The two previously faced speculation that they were dating. Online posts claimed they wore matching fashion items such as shoes and even got couple tattoos, drawing attention from fans. Photos also circulated showing Jungkook attending an aespa concert during his military service.
At the time, neither agency issued a clear statement, leading some fans to interpret the silence as tacit confirmation.
Reaction to the latest follow has been divided. Many commenters criticized Jungkook, saying he should have avoided actions that could reignite speculation, while others argued the relationship was already widely assumed and voiced support for the pair.
BTS recently drew about 20,000 people to a comeback concert in Gwanghwamun. The group is set to begin a monthlong South American world tour in October.
