On July 17, Jungkook uploaded a video showcasing the scenery of Paris, France, where BTS is currently holding its world tour concerts at Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
As background music, the singer selected “Midnight Love” by Norwegian indie artist girl in red while encouraging fans ahead of the group’s Paris performances. The post quickly attracted attention from fans, but discussion intensified after Winter shared her own update later that day.
Approximately three hours after Jungkook’s upload, Winter posted several casual photos on social media. The aespa member was seen wearing a bright red T-shirt while enjoying peaches and beer in a relaxed everyday setting
Although the posts appeared unrelated, some internet users linked Jungkook’s choice of artist girl in red with Winter’s red-colored outfit, suggesting the timing and imagery could be intentional.
Some commenters even claimed the two idols were “no longer trying to hide it,” arguing that Winter may have subtly responded to Jungkook’s music recommendation. However, these interpretations remain entirely speculative and have not been supported by any evidence.
Jungkook and Winter have repeatedly been linked by online dating rumors over the past year. Various claims circulating online have included:
- Alleged sightings of both idols attending the same international pop star’s stadium concert.
- Reports claiming Jungkook attended an aespa concert.
- Similar accessories and clothing allegedly worn by the two stars.
- Speculation over matching tattoos featuring three dogs on their arms, leading some fans to claim they had “couple tattoos.”
Following those rumors, some observers noted that Winter appeared to cover the tattoo area during later performances, further fueling online discussion.
None of these claims have been verified. Neither BIGHIT MUSIC nor SM Entertainment has released any official statement regarding the latest wave of dating rumors involving Jungkook and Winter.
However, when speculation surrounding the alleged “couple tattoos” spread in December last year, SM Entertainment announced that it would take strong legal action without leniency against malicious rumors, defamation, sexual harassment, personal attacks, and invasions of its artists’ privacy.
The agency emphasized its commitment to protecting its artists from false information and harmful online behavior.
Despite renewed online discussion, there is currently no confirmed evidence that Jungkook’s music choice or Winter’s outfit was intended as a message to one another. The latest speculation is based solely on fans’ interpretations of social media activity, while both artists and their agencies have remained silent regarding the claims.
