Jungkook (BTS) dating Winter (aespa), Korean netizens rumored to be harmed by Bang Si Hyuk?

The noisy dating scandal between Jungkook (BTS) and Winter (aespa) has not subsided, but recently, Korean netizens were suddenly stirred by rumors that Chairman Bang Si Hyuk was the person behind this, aiming to hide the truth.

The Asian entertainment industry almost "exploded" when dating rumors between Jungkook (BTS) and Winter (aespa) simultaneously appeared on a series of Korean forums, news sites and social networks. The "evidence" spreads at a dizzying speed, from double clothes, double headphones, the same tattoos, to evocative Instagram account names, making rumors even more difficult to extinguish.

Notably, representatives of HYBE and SM both gave a vague response: "We don't have a stance at all", making many people believe that the cult idol pair is really in a relationship. Previously, Jungkook had vehemently denied dating Lee Yu Bi, while Winter also held the same attitude when rumored to be in love with Jungwon (ENHYPEN). Therefore, the fact that this time both companies answered "double water" makes the public even more curious.

However, dating rumors between Jungkook and Winter have been tingling since mid-2025 and suddenly flared up violently recently, making netizens question whether the couple is becoming a front for a certain conspiracy. A part of netizens put forward a "conspiracy theory" that the love story between Jungkook and Winter was launched at the right time of a serious financial scandal involving HYBE Labels Chairman Bang Shi Hyuk.

According to many netizens, a series of posts about Jungkook and Winter's dating suspicions began to spread just 20 minutes before the media reported that the court announced the freezing of all shares worth $107 million (more than 2,800 billion VND) of Bang Shi Hyuk. The coincidence made them suspect that this was a "reverse PR ploy" to distract attention from the biggest investigation HYBE has ever faced.

HYBE's crisis has actually been raging since July, when police began searching the headquarters. In August, shortly after Bang Shi Hyuk returned from the United States, he was banned from leaving the country. The cause stemmed from allegations that he deliberately provided false information to former investors in 2019, causing them to sell their shares to a private investment fund founded by an acquaintance. Meanwhile, HYBE secretly prepared for the IPO, submitted an application for the appointment of an auditor and took many steps to go public.

By concealing information, Bang Shi Hyuk is suspected of enjoying huge profits, estimated at up to 400 billion won (about 7,500 billion VND). Key details of the deal were omitted from the publication record when the IPO prompted the South Korean Financial Supervisory Commission to raise suspicions of violating the law. Last week, the commission turned over the case to the prosecutor's office, recommending that he be charged with investment fraud and violating the Capital Markets Act. According to Article 443 of the law, if the amount of fraudulent profits exceeds 5 billion won, the offender can face sentences ranging from 5 years to life imprisonment.

In the face of tense legal developments, netizens believe that the news of Jungkook and Winter dating may be a distraction that was launched at the right time. Many people also predict that in the near future, many other idols may also become reluctant "victims" like this. However, all these comments are currently at the level of speculation, there is no specific authentic evidence, causing the online community to divide into 2 semi-skeptical camps.
