Aespa Winter’s First Message Since BTS’s Jungkook Dating Rumors Turns Her Own Fans Against Her
BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter have been embroiled in explosive dating rumors since the beginning of December.
While there has been multiple evidence that has gone viral even earlier in the year, which intensified in summer 2025, the rumors exploded earlier this month when Jungkook was allegedly spotted having the same tattoo as Winter in the same spot on his arm.

Since then speculation has run wild, with both companies even claiming they would “look into it” however, coming back with no response. While the rumors are neither confirmed nor denied by either party so far, they have been enough to turn fans of each idol away.
However, Winter’s first messages on the fan communication app Bubble seem to have made it worse for the aespa star.
On December 13, Winter got on Bubble for the first time since the rumors exploded. While she seemed to express concern for her fans’ during the cold weather in Korea, the message was not welcomed by Korean MYs.
Y/N ! It’s going to be cold this weekend, so be careful not to catch a cold! Since it snowed, watch your step on the roads!

Many accuse her of ignoring the rumors and brushing them off with extremely harsh words.
진짜 당황스럽다 나랑 다른 세계관에 사는 민정이니?마이들 가슴에 대못 박아놓고 10일만에 와서 날씨 얘기,먹는 얘기 띡 보내고 그냥 넘어간다고?어 난 이해못해

I’m genuinely baffled. Is Minjeong living in a completely different universe from me? You drove a nail straight into MYs’ hearts, then come back after just 10 days, casually dropping a couple of messages about the weather and what you ate, and expect everyone to just move on? Yeah, I don’t get it at all.

Minjeong… if you’re going to send Bubble messages like that, you might as well not send them at all. Just rest too. Seriously, stop going on about the damn weather it’s not even remotely something I give a f*ck about. Every time I see your Bubble, my blood pressure shoots up and I feel like I’m going to lose it, for f*ck’s sake.

Hey, seriously, don’t do this. You’re draining whatever little affection I had left. Minjeong, please.

Seriously, Minjeong… just let me smack my forehead once. Please, just get a grip for real. I’m saying this because I genuinely don’t want to un-stan.

While Korean fans have only had backlash from Winter, international fans continue to defend her and call the reactions from her Korean fandom absurd.
