The controversy surrounding BTS‘s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter’s relationship has resurfaced after new evidence emerged, sparking heated discussions on social media.
Earlier this month, Winter departed for New York City, USA, to attend Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2026 women’s fashion show as a brand ambassador. On September 11, Jungkook and J-Hope were spotted at Incheon International Airport en route to the US, also sparking speculation about the pair’s simultaneous travels.
During Jungkook’s interaction with reporters at the airport, some netizens noticed a bracelet that looked strikingly similar to one Winter had worn days earlier at the group’s Rich Man pop-up store, sparking a wave of discussion about a relationship between the two. However, others confirmed that Jungkook was wearing a Calvin Klein Braided Link Bracelet, while Winter’s bracelet was a Chaumet Bee Dee piece.
However, some suggested that Jungkook was wearing two bracelets. One from Calvin Klein, while the second might be identical to Winter’s. A fan wrote, “I think he actually has two bracelets. But we can’t be sure the second one is Chaumet. You can clearly see both bracelets here. But the first one has already been recognized by all of BTS’s fashion groups. Anyway, Jungkook doesn’t have a black and white bracelet like Winter.”
Although some accounts shared these details, doubts about the two men wearing the same bracelet, which some consider a common couple item and evidence of dating, persisted due to the lack of clarity in the photos showing Jungkook’s bracelet.
A fan commented, “I think WonKook should look at Winter’s photos in better quality. And don’t forget that this was an event where the bracelet might have been a stylist’s decision.” Another pointed out that Winter had worn the same bracelet before: “Winter has worn this bracelet before.”
Suspicions about the couple are heightened by their simultaneous travels. Last July, they both traveled to Los Angeles at the same time, along with numerous alleged pieces of evidence fans have picked up over the past two years.
