The SM Entertainment group are scheduled to perform at Tokyo Dome on April 25 and 26. Ahead of those shows, leaked “sasaeng info” surfaced that Winter’s booking for the April 24 flight from Seoul to Tokyo was canceled. This caused some fans to immediately jump to one conclusion that she’s already there… with Jungkook.
UPDATE 👀 apparently Winter's flight for the 24th got canceled 🤭 is it because she's already in Japan with Jungkook? https://t.co/dMHECK1tx6 pic.twitter.com/K6wYAcgFcl

📌 Aespa Winter’s Seoul↔Tokyo booking was reportedly canceled, leading some fans to speculate she may already be in Japan.
This has also sparked discussions about possible schedule overlaps, as both Winter and Jungkook have visited Japan multiple times before. pic.twitter.com/1jO4xiLNpS— love is in the air (@gloss36713) April 18, 2026
V is seen with his manager while Jungkook is not with his manager. This is like going back when he went to Japan alone last year, twice, and with this it becomes three times.

The two idols — who have been wrapped up in relationship rumors for nearly a year (thanks to an alleged couple tattoo and other rumored links) — have also previously sparked rumors of spending time together in Japan just a few months ago.

Not everyone is buying it, though. Fans on the other side pushed back hard, pointing out that all aespa members are still seemingly in South Korea. Others pointed out that due to ridiculous “proof” like this, Jungkook can’t step foot in Japan without people dragging Winter into it.
It has been confirmed for the millionth time that the aespa members are currently in Korea.
But some people tell a lie and believe it themselves, even if what they're saying is wrong and embarrassing. https://t.co/PnIv0cyjYw— RIRI🍪🐰 (@bubble89_) April 19, 2026

The rumors, as always, remain unconfirmed.
