Evidence of Jungkook and Winter’s relationship has been continuously surfacing over the past two years, and recently what is claimed to be a matching couple tattoo has been revealed.
In the second episode of the travel-reality show Are You Sure?!, which follows BTS members Jimin and Jungkook on their trips in Switzerland and Vietnam, fans noticed a small tattoo on the back of Jungkook’s left arm, identical to the tattoo Winter revealed in April 2025.
Both Jungkook and Winter’s tattoos feature three small puppies, which some fans interpreted as a reference to them and Jungkook’s dog, Bam. However, some idol fans shared photos from his haircut, where no tattoo seemed visible, leading some to question these claims, especially since the show’s filming began just days after the haircut, making fans wonder how the tattoo healed so quickly.
Meanwhile, some netizens investigated and confirmed that the tattoo was indeed present during his haircut, sparking questions about whether Jungkook and Winter intend to officially announce their relationship.
The article about Jungkook and Winter’s matching tattoos went viral on Korean forums, gaining thousands of views. Some criticized the pair for revealing their relationship, arguing it would have been better to keep it private and accusing them of recklessness and betraying fan trust:
- “I searched Jungkook and Winter on Google, and two articles about dating rumors came up from 3–4 hours ago, but both were deleted.”
- “Aren’t they both from Busan? Maybe they’re compatible. But showing it like this… clearly they want attention.”
- “Dating isn’t surprising, but getting a tattoo is something you’ll regret 100% later.”
- “Why isn’t there any article? Is HYBE blocking the press? Scary.”
- “This isn’t a matter of ‘not issuing a statement’… it’s ‘unable to issue a statement.’ If it weren’t true, they would have responded faster than anyone.”
- “The girl is way better than him, why bother…”
- “Idols really have no awareness… even after all the fuss about Winter’s dating rumors with her groupmates, they show this? Of course they can date, but at least don’t show it. The worst part is betraying fan trust.”
- “From an ordinary person’s perspective, if it’s true, they look good together. Age gap is perfect.”
- “Even if you did it somewhere hard to see, fans would notice. So why do it so openly?”
- “Can’t you just admit it and tell your love story? How did you meet? It’s so funny.”
- “If others had shown it like this, they’d have been attacked for years… but idols do a ‘couple tattoo’? Oh my… Are they failed idols? The top comments are all defending them, wow.”
- “Oh my god, why don’t you just date? Why make the tattoo so visible? You two don’t think of fans at all.”
- “A couple tattoo is shocking even for regular people, so…”
- “Wow, last time I listened to Winter’s favorite friend getting mad and cursing, and now everything exploded… I thought both fandoms knew, but apparently some didn’t. This isn’t just betraying fans, it’s mocking them. Really annoying.”
- “Ha???? A couple tattoo this ugly… and why show it so blatantly? Does this make sense??… It’s way too obvious, I can’t believe it, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.”
Others felt they deserve to reveal their feelings:
- “Jungkook debuted at 17 and will be 30 in a month. Fans no longer fall for attention-grabbing through women. Who else in the industry has been dragged into dating rumors with so many idols and actresses as much as Jungkook? Honestly, being single until now is unusual. Everyone knows he will date normally. What’s the problem? Non-fans are the ones making a fuss unnecessarily. Instead of trying to make a girlfriend for Jungkook, mind your own life.”
- “Even watching the episode directly, the tattoo isn’t clear. The scene is blurry and only 2–3 seconds long. Did you use a program to enhance it? If the tattoo were that big, it would be clearly visible. Even in the vlog filmed in September, it didn’t appear. Stop chasing clout, just ignore it.”
- “It’s really tiring that every single Jungkook tattoo excites all these crazy fans. Even the tattoos people insisted were couple tattoos turned out to be tattoos that many male idols got at the same shop. Whatever Jungkook does, fans assign meaning and blow it up. Ignore them.”
- “Even SM and HYBE would have said no at this stage, but it’s annoying they never released an official statement until the end. Winter had to stop the show last time because of the fuss from Jungkook fans’ comments during the live broadcast.”
