BTS Jungkook’s Recent Update Sparks Shift In Dating Rumors With aespa’s Winter
A video of BTS‘s Jungkook has sparked a debate involving his dating rumors with aespa‘s Winter.
Back in 2025, Jungkook and Winter were embroiled in dating rumors over an alleged “couple tattoo,” which has remained a hot topic in 2026. The alleged “hiding” of the tattoo from either party has also sparked debate and criticism.

Recently, Jungkook shared a vlog-style video on his Instagram account, the first of its kind from the idol.
In the video, he gave a first hand look at what goes on behind the scenes of preparing for a concert from the moment he woke up.
During one part of the video, Jungkook and V are shown brushing their teeth and fooling around a little bit.

Some pointed out that Jungkook’s left arm, where the alleged tattoo supposedly is placed, appears clear in the video.
Some have seen it as confirmation of no relationship between Winter and Jungkook, “celebrating” that the rumors will seemingly stop.

グクは今日撮れたての映像を個人IG垢で出してくれた
最後のコマは23:24
そこから5時間後の4:40にアップ
つまり、編集はジョングク本人
事務所がチェックする時間もない
編集はおそらくコマを切り貼りするくらいしかできないと思う
つまり、わざわざ肌を修正する時間はないそしてキレイな左腕 pic.twitter.com/UQkMA6ThfE

Jungkook posted freshly filmed footage today on his personal Instagram account.
The last frame shows 23:24.
It was uploaded 5 hours later at 4:40.
In other words, Jungkook himself did the editing.
There wasn’t even time for the agency to review it.
The editing was probably only basic cutting and stitching clips together.
So there likely wasn’t time to retouch the skin on purpose. And a clean left arm.— OP
On the other hand, some felt that post-film editing would be able to hide the tattoo, and that this was not definitive proof.
Not Jungkook fans being happy when we can barely see his back left arm lmao. He’s only brave enough to wear a tank top when he’s not on stage 🤣 pic.twitter.com/FewVIH11B3
