A recently surfaced anecdote allegedly connecting BTS ’s Jungkook to aespa ’s Winter has taken social media by storm, reigniting rumors of a romantic relationship between the two idols.
The spark came from a comment under a TikTok video featuring Winter, where a user claimed their acquaintance had served in the same military unit as Jungkook. According to the comment, the BTS member was said to frequently exclaim phrases like, “Ah, it’s so cold~~ Ah, it’s winter~~ Winter, Winter,” during the summer. The tone and repetition reportedly gave other soldiers the impression he was referencing the aespa member, rather than the actual season.
“Someone I know served in the same unit as JK, and they said he kept saying all summer, ‘Ah it’s so cold~~ Ah it’s winter~~ Winter, Winter,’ so everyone in the unit already knew.”
Though Jungkook’s name wasn’t explicitly stated in the post, its appearance beneath a clip of Winter added fuel to the speculation. The timing is particularly noteworthy, as rumors about the two idols possibly dating have been swirling for months.
However, not everyone is convinced.
Over on the online community Nate Pann, users expressed heavy skepticism about the authenticity of the anecdote. Some dismissed it as an opportunistic fabrication aimed at riding the wave of recent rumors.
- “All the fake stories are popping out now. Yeah, it’s all lies.”
- “How stupid do you have to be to laugh while calling that some fake rumor? It’s so pathetic.”
- “Stop talking nonsense.”
- “People are taking this chance to spout all kinds of bullshit.”
Others criticized the spread of baseless speculation, emphasizing how easily false narratives can spread in the era of viral content.
Despite the backlash, the post has already gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), with fans dissecting every detail and debating its credibility. Some supporters of the rumored couple found the story cute or romantic, while others called for more caution, highlighting the potential harm in spreading unverified claims—especially involving two global stars under intense public scrutiny.
With no official statements from either agency involved, the alleged “Winter” anecdote remains another piece of the ongoing mystery surrounding Jungkook and Winter’s rumored relationship. Whether fans take it seriously or see it as a meme moment, the rumor mill shows no signs of slowing down.
