Aespa Winter’s “Melon Music Awards” Look Reignites “Couple Tattoo” With BTS’s Jungkook Scrutiny

aespa’s appearance at the 2025 Melon Music Awards sparked mixed reactions, but Winter’s red carpet look quickly became the main focus among Korean netizens.

Rather than just commenting on her styling, attention shifted toward renewed speculation surrounding her alleged tattoo and dating rumors with BTS’s Jungkook.

For the red carpet, Winter wore a black-and-gold mini dress with bow accents, a look that stood out for its sleek silhouette and exposed areas.

While some praised her visuals, others admitted the outfit made them instinctively look for signs of the tattoo that previously fueled rumors linking her to BTS’s Jungkook.

Although the dating speculation has never been confirmed, the topic continues to resurface whenever Winter appears in sleeveless or form-fitting outfits.

• “She’s pretty, but it makes you end up looking to see whether she has the tattoo or not…”
• “Is she covering up the tattoo today?”
• “She’s insanely pretty, seriously.”
• “People obsessing over the tattoo sound unhinged…”
• “Doesn’t seem like her best look.”
• “So what’s the deal with the tattoo?”

Previously, the idol gained attention for allegedly “hiding” the tattoo by wearing a long glove.
