Aespa Winter’s Heartbreaking Messages After BTS’s Jungkook Dating Rumors Change Public Opinion

aespa’s Winter has seemingly managed to shift public sentiment following recent dating rumors involving BTS’s Jungkook.

After facing scathing backlash even from her own fans following the very first Bubble message she shared since the rumors exploded, Winter’s recent words have touched not only fans, but also netizens.

When talking about aespa’s upcoming performance at the Melon Music Awards, Winter talked about the fans’ support and how much it means to her. She also subtly opened up about herself.

Winter: “I’ll prepare as well as you cheer for me and put on a really cool stage!”

Winter: “I never take your support for granted!!”

Winter: “Even if I’m not always perfect! I’ll keep trying.”

Her comments immediately became a trending hot topic on Pann, with one post receiving more than 60,000 views.

In the comments, the public sentiment towards Winter and her response to the dating rumors has seemingly changed.

• Before fans even had the chance to get mad, there were already other fandoms’ freaks charging in hurling way worse abuse, plus those man-obsessed girls who’ve always lived with jealousy toward aespa. Because of them, it almost makes you not want to unstan lol. I’ll be honest, when the dating rumor first broke, I cooled off a bit, but after seeing those jealousy-drunk losers on Twitter and Pann throwing insane verbal abuse at Winter, I ended up defending her instead.”
• “Every time a dating rumor breaks in the idol scene, seeing how female idols get sexually harassed even worse than on male-dominated sites, using the most disgusting wording, by these unhinged ‘female community’ types honestly makes me sick lol. Winter, fighting.”
• “With this dating rumor, all those Twitter nutjob accounts and Pann girls who’ve been holding in their inferiority complex toward aespa just exploded and dumped it all out in the open. Their posts keep getting screenshotted like crazy and uploaded all over Kwangya. At this point, I’m choosing to see it as a chance to completely flush out these psychos once and for all, haha. And to the crazies who started spewing filthy, vile insults at Winter before fans even had time to feel disappointed, thanks to you, it seems like a lot of fans who were about to unstan are actually coming back instead.”
• “What’s with people getting even angrier than the actual fans and charging in like that? LOL.”
• “Honestly, it only seems like the people who desperately want aespa fans to all unstan are the ones who are furious lol. That ahjumma who’s been up all night rage-posting and manipulating hate comments, she’s not even a fan, so why has she been mad for days on end, crawling into every Winter post and acting up like this? LOL. Are you pissed because you really wanted fans to unstan, but it didn’t go your way?”
