Alleged Military Anecdote About BTS’s Jungkook Related To aespa’s Winter Sparks Divided Reactions
A story allegedly about BTS‘s Jungkook in the military, linked to his recent dating rumors with aespa‘s Winter, has sparked mixed reactions.

Recently, a screenshot of a comment on a TikTok of Winter has been gaining attention, claiming that while in the military, Jungkook mentioned “winter” often and while it was seemingly in the context of the season, the way he said it made it seem like the other soldiers knew about the rumored relationship.

Someone I know served in the same unit as JGi (used acronym), and they said he kept saying all summer, ‘Ah it’s so nice~~ Ah it’s winter~~ Winter, Winter,’ so everyone in the unit already knew.
Although the post didn’t specify Jungkook’s name, the comment appearing on a video about Winter seemingly implied that it was about the BTS idol amid the rumors. A screenshot of the image is going viral on X…
