A private chat allegedly between two master fansites of aespa’s Winter has gone viral on Korean communities Theqoo and X, sparking heated discussion following resurfaced dating rumors involving Winter and BTS’s Jungkook.
The conversation reportedly captures the distress and frustration of fans who closely follow Winter and feel emotionally impacted by the alleged encounters between the two idols.
The leaked messages have drawn attention due to claims that Jungkook appeared at multiple locations tied to Winter’s schedule, including aespa’s perfume booth, Gimpo Airport, and even Yokohama. Fans allege that they possess photos and videos documenting these encounters, and the conversation reveals the mental toll such rumors can take on dedicated fans.
Translation of Fansite Chat
- Fan A: I’m really exhausted from being disturbed by the other side. I just hope they come out and say this isn’t true.
- Fan B: If I say I actually saw him at the aespa perfume booth that day, would it explain why I froze like I was “dead on the spot”?
- Fan A: Yeah, I saw it too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Fan B: I hate being called mentally ill… We’re just pretending not to know, but it’s really uncomfortable. I spent money but didn’t get to meet Winter, and she only meets him. That really hurts. Then when she left, she suddenly disappeared alone, and only I know about it… it’s even more frustrating.
- Fan A: I know when it happened… I was mentally exhausted and had to rest for a while.
- Fan B: They gave us the “sickness” along with the medicine, Minjeong… On the day he came, he entered Gimpo Airport, reporters were there, and he looked really flustered. They’re just pretending not to know. What is this situation even?
- Fan A: Huh? I also recorded it. Do you want me to show it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I even have photos of them taking off their masks ^^!
- Fan B: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I also have pictures from Yokohama.
- Fan A: Even if he wanted to, he should have hidden it a little. Please ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Fan B: Minjeong is the type who can’t get over being hurt… Me too, it hurts so much. If she can’t get over it, how are fans like us supposed to cope?
Netizen Reactions
Netizens have shared their own thoughts, often questioning the context of the alleged sightings and commenting on fan behavior:
- But what were they expecting, flying all the way there… Winter was on an overseas schedule, right?
- Fans must be upset, but the singer chasing her partner’s overseas schedule and getting a couple tattoo… they’ve already done everything, now they probably don’t care how fans feel.
- It’s just a fansite running into her on an overseas schedule. Isn’t it kind of amazing that a famous male idol ended up near a female idol’s schedule?
- Imagine if it were a female idol following a male idol’s schedule… she would have been dragged mercilessly by netizens.
- Be grateful they didn’t post it and just quietly disappeared after unfollowing.
As both the leaked chat and netizen responses continue to circulate, the situation underscores the fragile balance between idols’ public images and their private lives. With no official statements from either agency, the conversation remains fueled by speculation—highlighting how even unconfirmed interactions can evolve into major talking points in the K-pop world.
