aespa’s Winter, recently embroiled in dating rumors with BTS’s Jungkook, appeared on the red carpet with the widely discussed couple tattoo concealed.
On the afternoon of December 25, the “2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon” took place at Inspire Arena in Incheon Yeongjongdo. Winter, attending the event, showcased her pure charm in a sleeveless dress.
Her right forearm, adorned with three puppy faces—a tattoo rumored to be a matching “couple tattoo” with Jungkook—drew particular attention. Despite being meticulously covered with makeup, faint traces remained visible.
Following the dating rumors, fans have organized truck protests in front of both HYBE and SM Entertainment headquarters.
Fans have cited the tattoo of three puppy faces on their forearms as major evidence of their relationship. Additional clues include Jungkook attending an aespa concert, matching couple rings and in-ear monitors, couple nail art on the ring finger, and Winter’s live broadcast where she called out ‘Jeon Jungkook’ (Jungkook’s real name).
Meanwhile, neither agency has made an official statement regarding the dating rumors, and Winter continues to meet fans through fan sign events and the “2025 MMA.”
