BTS’s Jungkook Faces Heavy Backlash Over Recent Activities Following Response To Dating Rumors
Since December began, the dating rumors between BTS‘s Jungkook and aespa‘s Winter have only intensified.
Rumors between the pair have persisted throughout the year, but were met with skepticism until the discovery of supposed “couple” tattoos.
Both SM Entertainment and HYBE have claimed they would “look into it,” however, they have come back with no response. While the rumors are neither confirmed nor denied by either party, this silence has angered many fans.

This has only worsened after the actions of each idol.
Following Winter’s Bubble update and the subsequent backlash, Jungkook was spotted in public at G-Dragon‘s world tour ending.
Jungkook was not the only idol attending, as J-Hope, SEVENTEEN‘s Hoshi, and Mingyu were spotted nearby, along with other artists.

However, Jungkook’s attendance at the event, despite no response regarding the dating rumors, has been met with criticism.
Some have accused him of not caring about fans.

- He’s really reached a whole new level now. It’s not like this is the first time or just a day or two of scandals. Wow, I almost felt proud enough to tell him to just quit.
- Ah, Jungkook, so you went to Gocheok too… We’re fucking furious, and you’re out there having fun going to a concert…
- LOL Okay, I totally get how sincere you are~ I definitely get that you’re saying you’re gonna ignore it~ And I f*cking get that you see your fans as total suckers~
