Amid the ongoing dating rumors between BTS member Jungkook and Aespa’s Winter, fans have organized a truck protest against Winter, escalating the situation.
On the morning of the 11th, a truck protest by some fans targeted at Winter took place in front of the SM Entertainment building in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.
Protest signs displayed strong dissatisfaction with messages like “Silence is not an answer. Show responsibility,” “Remove the tattoo. Come out and explain!”, “If you want to date loudly, live as an ordinary person, not Aespa’s Winter,” and “You promised to stay together for 10 years, but you broke the trust, Winter.”
Previously, a similar truck protest was held in front of the HYBE building in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, by the BTS fandom.
The truck bore messages like “If you don’t erase the couple tattoo, leave BTS,” “The return for fans waiting while you were in the military is deception,” “Is it sane to deceive fans and harm the group?”, and “Erase the couple tattoo and restore trust from the ARMY you betrayed first.”
The content was generally similar, with fans’ dissatisfaction erupting due to the dating rumors and various circumstantial evidence.
Recently, dating rumors between Jungkook and Winter have been circulating on online communities and various social media platforms.
Key evidence included tattoos of three dog faces on both of their forearms. Other clues bolstered the rumors, such as Jungkook attending an Aespa concert, matching couple rings and in-ears, couple nail art on the ring finger, and Winter mentioning ‘Jeon Jungkook’ (Jungkook’s full name) during a live broadcast.
However, as neither party has issued any statements, it has led to speculation that they might be acknowledging the relationship.
Following the emergence of these rumors, Winter made her first public appearance at a fan signing event, and her agency announced legal action to protect her rights.
Jungkook shared a social media post on the 10th, showing himself eating ramen with RM, signaling that he is living a normal life.
