BTS Jungkook and Aespa Winter

BTS Jungkook and Aespa Winter dating rumors trace their origin from similar dog tattoos, matching accessories, to identical phone cases, and choosing the same nail polish and songs for Instagram story. All the signs and evidence point towards one direction: that BTS Jungkook and Aespa Winter are dating.

However, recently, Aespa attended SBS Gayo Daejeon at Inspire Arena in Incheon, and seemed to ignore fans amid dating rumors with a disappeared dog tattoo. What did this mean?

BTS Jungkook and Aespa Winter Dating Rumors Reignited, Here’s Top 5 K-pop Dating Rumors and Fan Investigations

BTS V and Actor Park Bo Gum

After dating rumors with almost every popular K-pop idol from BTS Jungkook to BlackPink Jennie, BTS V, aka Kim Taehyung, has been embroiled in dating rumors with When Life Gives You Tangerines actor Park Bo Gum after both met at a CELINE event on December 17. This brief interaction between them went viral, flooding the X with jokes and adorable compliments for the most anticipated couple. Many termed their pair as the ultimate meet-up of K-pop and K-drama power couple.

BlackPink Rose and NCT Jaehyun

K-netizens were in total confusion when BlackPink Rose released her album Rosie, the song “Toxic Till the End.” In the song, the K-pop idol included verses referring to a toxic ex. Many reports doubted the toxic ex to be American songwriter Jaden Smith, while some other reports concluded it was popular skater Jason Choi. It was not long before K-netizens shifted their attention to NCT Jaehyun as the toxic ex of BlackPink Rose. NCT Jaehyun became the prime suspect despite zero concrete evidence regarding their relationship.

However, the allegations intensified when a former YG Entertainment employee leaked videos of BlackPink before their formal debut. The person who leaked the video claimed to be the same person who confirmed BTS V and BlackPink Jennie’s relationship. The former employee claimed that NCT Jaehyun is the toxic ex referenced in BlackPink Rose’s song.

Aespa Giselle and RIIZE Wonbin

Netizens seemingly notice smaller details to tie the knot of K-pop idols embroiled in dating rumors. The Aespa Giselle and RIIZE Wonbin dating rumors started with small details like using similar words at the conferences and fan meets, misspelling the exact words, and same emojis. Aespa Giselle even put a black cat on her Instagram profile picture, which is one of the nicknames for NCT Wonbin. What makes it more interesting is that Aespa Giselle might have addressed the ongoing speculation as she shared a meme post of Casper the ghost reading the book with a caption, “Go Study or Smth.” This sparked major uproar and reignited the dating rumors between the two.

BTS Jimin and Song Da-eun

The dating rumors surrounding BTS Jimin and the Actress Song Da-eun have been in vogue since 2022 and resurfaced after Song shared a 2-minute clip on her TikTok account. K-pop fans seemingly doubted that the clip showed the actress surprising a man, most probably BTS Jimin, outside the apartment elevator, and they also spent time at the K-pop idol’s apartment in Seoul. On top of it, Song Da-eun shared an Instagram story believed to be featuring BTS Jimin, which then shot up the interest of K-netizens about a potential relationship alert.

K-pop fans have since started digging and found photos taken at the same locations, matching personal items, and other stuff. Rock-solid evidence came when Song herself shared an earphone photo labelled with her and BTS Jimin’s names, selfies wearing BTS merchandise, making it easier for fans to speculate on dating rumors between the two. However, no one has yet addressed the question, and not even the agency has commented yet on the particular topic, so it remains dicey for now.

BTS V and BlackPink Jennie

BTS V and BlackPink Jennie’s dating rumors have completed their 4th anniversary since 2021. Their dating rumors are one of the popular ones in the K-pop scene as both idols come from major 3rd generation K-pop groups. The timeline follows a dating phase with a temporary breakup, when BTS V served his military service, and reignited dating speculations after the enlistment ended in 2023. Netizens connected the dots using the similar schedules, including the same arrival and departure times.

An OP on Nate Pann shared an image featuring matching accessories, clothes, and overlapping schedules. In the time netizens disputed this one, BTS V and BlackPink Jennie arrived at Paris Fashion Week, and a viral video suggested that the two went on a date in Paris, with fans sharing a photo of Kim Taehyung featuring a jacket otherwise worn by Jennie in one of her photos. The evidence is rock solid, but there’s no statement from any of the K-pop idols yet, making it mere dating rumors for now.

BTS J-Hope and TWICE Nayeon

The BTS J-Hope and TWICE Nayeon dating rumor started with a post shared by a netizen with multiple pieces of evidence pointing towards a single speculation. The TikTok gathered over 400k views, featuring evidence of the two dating since 2022. The video showed that BTS J-Hope and TWICE Nayeon had visited the same restaurant during an event at the same time. However, the recent one involves K-pop idols caught taking couple photos with the same pose but at different locations. Both of them had a Luis Vuitton bag, a brand that they both work with. Though speculations are speculations unless there is confirmation from the individual idol or their agency.

Aespa Karina and NCT Jisung

Similarities lead to dating rumors, and this is what a K-pop fan has spotted between the Aespa Karina and NCT Jisung. According to the fan, Jisung Amsterdam and Iceland trips give some traction to dating rumors. From the Amsterdam trip, a photo of a sunflower at the Van Gogh museum caught the attention of netizens since NCT Jisung and Aespa Karina shared a similar photo on their handles, speculating that they had spent time together in Amsterdam.

They even visited each other’s concerts wearing identical clothes, had the same social media posts, among other things. One fan recalled that Aespa Karina once mentioned that seeing Aurora is on her bucket list, and very recently, NCT Jisung posted an image featuring him with northern lights in Iceland. This and all other evidence connect the dots of a potential romance between the Korean couple. Let’s wait and watch what happens next.

(G)I-DLE Shuhua and NCT Hendery

Based on an online community post, (G)I-DLE Shuhua and NCT Hendery have been swirled in dating rumors after attending an NCT member’s birthday party together at a restaurant. The Chinese fan posted on Weibo that both attended the birthday party with four other people, one male and three females, talking to one another and having a warm meal. Ignoring others, many have taken it as a potential sign that (G)I-DLE Shuhua and NCT Hendery are dating each other; however, there’s no statement from either side, so not sure yet.

BTS RM and Red Velvet Seulgi

A video went viral with 1.2 million views and 70k likes, sparking dating rumors between the two idols. The video showed photos of BTS RM’s Instagram story and Red Velvet Seulgi visiting an exhibition in Seoul. The stark similarities shocked the K-netizens, who noticed the same sofa in two photos. On top of it, Seulgi went with Rie, who is a friend of K-pop idol BTS RM. However, many netizens didn’t want this to happen that way. Repeating, these are only dating rumors, and the truth is far from reality.

In the K-pop scene, dating rumors are easy to spark, and breakups are evident in such situations. K-netizens find a dot and make a whole story out of it, which sparks more dating rumors and sometimes invades K-pop idols’ privacy. So, in my opinion, dating rumors should not be spread unless fans have sufficient evidence and a strong picture to frame their argument. This would protect individual privacy and prevent wastage of time in finding nothing but noise.
