BTS’s “SWIM” Performance Reignites Debate About Jungkook’s “Couple Tattoo” With aespa’s Winter
A recent performance of BTS‘s new track has reignited the debate about Jungkook‘s “couple tattoo” with aespa‘s Winter.

Recently, BTS did a performance of “SWIM,” and unsurprisingly, Jungkook’s sheer sleeves sparked a debate about his “couple tattoo with an OP saying he was showing it off.
Jungkook said he wanted to be honest and now he's showing his couple tattoo in BTS content 🐶🐶🐶 i hope Winter stops hiding hers too 🥰 https://t.co/JAOrCgny40 pic.twitter.com/mqzSU1h3kw

Even a netizen on Nate Pann tried to share that the “couple tattoo” was still there.

Yet, like the netizens under the photo, international fans instead took it as a chance to hit back at the initial rumors, claiming that the shot instead proves that the idol never had the tattoo and how unfounfed the rumors were to begin with.
He has no tattoo.
His arm is clean.

A clear photo . In the Disney video, you were ready to sell your souls just to prove the tattoo even though the quality was really bad. But this image is much clearer, and I don’t see anything at all , we don't know if its real or not from the start just leave jungkook alone pic.twitter.com/F86KON8p6p
