Winter (aespa) sneaked into a bar, anti released photos with Jungwon, SM sued to 'cover up' the story?

On December 11 (Korean Time), photos and videos allegedly showing Winter (aespa) and Jungwon (ENHYPEN) dating appeared on social network X (formerly Twitter), causing fans to constantly stir.

Accordingly, the poster said, "With so many overlapping schedules during the year-end season, this must be very convenient for them." He added, "Even after seeing Karina being caught on a date with actor Lee Jae Wook because she wore the same outfit on a video call, did Winter really have to wear the outfit in her challenge video?", implying that the woman in the photo was Winter based on her outfit.

The post also claimed, "Winter got into a taxi first, then Yang Jungwon followed," implying that the two met privately. Additionally, a short video clip was shared, showing a masked man talking on the phone. Viewers speculated that the voice resembled that of ENHYPEN's Jungwon.

The post has since been deleted. Since these claims were based solely on the poster's assertions without any evidence to confirm the true relationship between Jungwon and Winter, the attention of the audience is now focused on how Winter and Jungwon's management companies, SM Entertainment and HYBE's Belift Lab, will react to the artists' dating rumors.

After the dating rumors broke out, SM Entertainment quickly released an official statement, warning that legal action would be taken against the individual who spread the photos. aespa's representative Winter said, "The individual who spread the photos seems to have initially contacted a media outlet with monetary motives, trying to contact us directly.

However, when the media outlet refused to facilitate the exchange, citing their policy of not accepting tips, the individual appears to have turned to malicious dissemination."

Previously, Winter (aespa) and Sungchan ( RIIZE) were also involved in dating rumors, which were shared on online sites in Korea. On the online community Nate Pann (Korea), posts appeared about the relationship between Winter (aespa) and Sungchan (RIIZE). The author of the post provided evidence that the two idols were dating.

Accordingly, in a previous interview, Sungchan revealed that he disliked summer and winter. When talking about winter, the male idol emphasized, and at the same time, two members of the same group, Shotaro and Eunseok, suddenly reacted as if trying to hold back their laughter.

The author asserts that RIIZE's reaction shows that the word "winter" here is related to Winter (aespa).

The second piece of evidence is Sungchan's dog. The RIIZE member named his dog after his idol. Meanwhile, Winter also often watches videos of cute pets. The two are said to have similar interests.

Next, fans also posted photos of Sungchan and Winter wearing couple outfits, including sweaters, glasses, and accessories.

Finally, the evidence shared by the poster is that Sungchan chose Busan as the location to hold the fansign. Busan is known as Winter's hometown.

The above article attracted more than 73.4 thousand views with a series of mixed opinions from Kpop fans. In particular, the fandom (fan community) of asepa and RIIZE had a strong reaction and denied the dating rumors of the 2 idols.

In addition, a part of Korean public opinion believes that the evidence presented is not really convincing. The fact that Sungchan and Winter are dating is just subjective speculation from fans.
