Jungkook and Winter’s Dating Rumor: Fans Believe, “Imaginary”
Fans believe, Jungkook appeared at Aespa’s Day 2 Seoul concert, in full musk and a fun cap. Eagle-eyed fans claimed to recognize the “Golden” singer despite his attempt to remain incognito with a mask and cap at Aespa’s “Synk: Parallel Line” tour. Though his face wasn’t visible, fans insisted those unmistakable “bunny eyes” gave him away.
“Everyone is shocked that Jungkook attended Aespa’s concert. They will probably faint when they find out that Winter and Jungkook have been dating for years. WinKook is real,” one fan joked on social media, while others enthusiastically embraced the “WINKOOK” ship name.

The Evidence? Mostly Coincidences
What’s fueling these dating rumors? Fans point to supposedly similar outfits worn by the two stars and have created elaborate threads connecting dots that may not actually exist. Despite the excitement, there’s no concrete evidence supporting a romantic connection between the two K-pop powerhouses.
Jungkook has maintained silence on his relationship status, typical for K-pop idols who often keep their personal lives private due to intense fan interest.
What’s Next for Both Stars
Jungkook is set to complete his mandatory military service on June 11, with fans eagerly awaiting his return to the spotlight. Before enlisting, he released his solo debut “Golden,” which achieved remarkable global success, topping charts in South Korea, Belgium, France, Lithuania, and Japan.
The album sold over 2.4 million copies worldwide by November 2023 and ranked as the 10th best-selling CD in the United States that year, proving his immense popularity as a solo artist.
Meanwhile, Aespa just wrapped up their Seoul concerts and will next perform at SMTOWN Live Tour in Mexico City on May 9.
The Verdict
While “WinKook” makes for entertaining fan discussions, there’s currently no credible evidence suggesting a real romantic relationship between these two K-pop stars. For now, it remains what most industry observers would call fan imagination at work—a common and harmless aspect of K-pop fan culture.
What’s certain is that both artists continue to enjoy tremendous success in their careers, with passionate fan bases supporting their every move—whether those moves involve each other or not.
