BTS’ Jungkook Remarks On Weverse Live Fuel Aespa Winter Dating Allegations
Taking place in the wee hours of February 26, 2026, South Korean time, the livestream was a surprise in every sense of the word. Apart from the obvious shockers of quitting smoking and cussing his friend out, his vulnerability was refreshing for fans.
In one frank moment, he admitted that he wished to be completely honest with fans. However, as he was still part of a company (HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC), he could not reveal everything he wanted to. Before fans could interpret them as the villain, he added that he was grateful to HYBE for looking after BTS. He also said that it is “who catch[es] the things [we] miss.”
Despite all the blame on his label, Jungkook iterated that he did not point the finger at them. These statements led netizens to believe it was a subtle way to mention his dating rumours.
everything jungkook said yesterday is just another proof that he want everyone to know he’s dating winter last year bc he know the company and the members is not allowed him to publicly dating. all those corny hint from him is real

ARMY, however, did not see much merit in these assumptions. Quick to shut down those who were making these statements, they remarked that the translations did not mention idol dating. Apart from a measly remark in his affecting speech about wanting to make music and perform for fans, the ‘Seven’ vocalist steered clear of the topic. They added that since he was so frank about smoking and swearing, he could just as easily mention if he were dating.
this is the full translation and nowhere jungkook was alluding to dating. he was being vulnerable with armys. yall just hate seeing an idol behaving like a human being with feelings https://t.co/xTqILuOZ6T pic.twitter.com/GCjcJu9iCG

Where do people even get the conclusion jungkook is dating or wants to come out but couldn’t because of the company? Out of everything, y’all think that’s the only thing he wants to clarify about? Give my man a break please. Why y’all spread rumors like ???! #?#?#
