On the afternoon of December 6, aespa held an in-person fansign event at a location in Seoul.
Winter appeared before fans dressed in a festive year-end style, wearing a red knit sweater and a red ribbon hairpin. She actively interacted with fans, even putting on headbands they handed to her.
Notably, Winter comforted a crying fan by waving and saying, “Don’t cry.”
Previously, on December 5, Winter was swept up in dating rumors with Jungkook of BTS, which spread rapidly across various online communities.
The dating rumors ignited after social media users and online community posts claimed the pair share matching tattoos. Photos circulating online pointed out similar three small puppy faces tattooed on both Jungkook’s and Winter’s arms, leading fans to label them “couple tattoos.”
Other alleged “couple items” include: similar in-ear monitors used on stage, matching bracelets
Some netizens also noted that Jungkook’s current handle “mnijungkook” could resemble “민정국 (Min Jungkook)” if the letters n and i are swapped—coincidentally aligning with Winter’s real name, Kim Min-jeong.
Attention intensified with claims that during his military service leave, Jungkook attended an aespa concert—despite never visiting concerts of fellow HYBE labelmates such as TXT or SEVENTEEN.
Fans argued that such an action “would be unlikely unless there was a special relationship.”
As speculation continues to dominate social platforms, both BigHit Music (Jungkook’s agency) and SM Entertainment (Winter’s agency) have not released any statement, neither confirming nor denying the rumors.
With Winter now stepping into her first public schedule amid heightened attention, all eyes are on how she—and the agencies—will navigate the situation in the coming days.
