New Viral “Proof” Of BTS’s Jungkook And aespa’s Winter Dating Spark Major Reactions

It didn’t stop there, as the Korean forum theqoo was full of posts about the rumors, including past evidence of in-ears and “couple” items.

However, netizens think it’s more than a coincidence, as shortly before the rumors started circulating, it was announced that the court had seized HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk’s assets.

Yet, it was only when the news was posted on X…

That netizens in the quotes thought it was odd that the rumors had become a hot topic, but the news about Bang Si Hyuk remained quiet, with many thinking it was raised by people linked to the founder to cover up.

My dms are full of those made up “dating rumors” while no one shared this.. https://t.co/pHKRRB41q1

Interesting how those rumors on the other side started when this happened today https://t.co/VdkRTzG7qP

Away from the article, netizens found it suspicious that the rumors started gaining attention before the news was shared on X and seeing other things that didn’t seem right or felt forced with the rumors.

Isn't it interesting that just about 20min before the news broke on X about Bang's stock acc being frozen by the court, a random🇰🇷acc, with post history consisting only of posts from today, suddenly revived dating rumors about JK? And that post somehow got 8M views in under 3h..

Others even went as far as believing Jungkook wouldn’t be the only “victim.”

Get ready for a slew of defamatory articles towards random idols as an attempt to take the heat off this whale. https://t.co/FevrIlts5i pic.twitter.com/qFaqhTwwzt
