As top global idols, BTS members in general, and Jungkook in particular, usually avoid sensitive topics as much as possible. However, the public always enjoys digging into artists’ private lives, so even when they do nothing at all, they still get pulled into false dating rumors in ways that are unimaginable.

For example, just having similar items, similar habits, or coincidences in time and location can be used as a basis for malicious individuals to claim that an idol is dating someone. Jungkook has been involved many times in “out-of-the-blue” suspicions, such as dating Yeri (Red Velvet), Han So Hee, a married tattoo artist, Lisa, Rosé… all just because of baseless posts on social media like that.

There was even a time when a photo suddenly appeared accusing Jungkook of “hugging” his girlfriend in a luxury apartment, prompting him to respond frankly during a live broadcast: “I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m not meeting anyone, so please stop asking. I’m focused on work. My girlfriend is no one else but the fans, I only have the fans at this time.”

However, many people just prefer to believe their wild speculations despite the truth or the idol’s explanation. Since Jungkook’s discharge in June, he has continued to be dragged into dating rumors with aespa’s Winter, just because they were seen using common items that hundreds of other people also have. Some people are so obsessed that any new move by Jungkook is interpreted as related to the female idol.

Recently, a rumor appeared online claiming that Jungkook and aespa Winter are dating in נαραи, just because both were seen in the country. Winter was reported to be in נαραи for a tour, while Jungkook’s schedule was unclear due to his very private itinerary. Based on such signs alone, they immediately αѕѕerted that the two idols were dating.

However, the truth is always the truth! ARMYs soon obtained the most important evidence showing that Jungkook and the female idol being in נαραи at the same time was purely coincidental. It was a photo taken by a photographer at that exact moment.

The photographer stated that he is not a BTS fan and was working with a client, but he spotted Jungkook right in front of him and took the photo. In the image, Jungkook is seen dressed sharply, using his phone behind the window of a vintage-looking villa with ivy covering the walls.

In particular, after looking into it, ARMYs realized that this building was not a random location but actually the Chrome Hearts store in Tokyo.

Chrome Hearts is a globally famous נαραиese brand specializing in clothing, jewelry, accessories, and furniture with a distinctive appearance. Jungkook himself has often been seen using the brand’s accessories or clothing.

Some кσяєαn media outlets reported that Jungkook returned to кσяєα on the 11th and also reported that he went to נαραи for a private business schedule. Along with Jungkook’s polished appearance as if he were in a set shoot at the store, what does this indicate? It seems to imply that Jungkook is about to be announced as the new global ambαѕѕador of Chrome Hearts rather than anything related to dating.

Fans find it ridiculous to see the two idols being forcibly paired together. Meanwhile, they are more excited about the speculation that Chrome Hearts is the second brand to receive a nod from the King of Sold Out—Jungkook. They shared their thoughts:

- Jungkook was there to film a new advertisement. It's ovious. Please stop involving him in those ridiculous rumors.

- Jungkook is gonna be ambαѕѕador of this brand and we'll have a spot soon

- And if you say that “Winter loves that brand” or “she basically owns it” then I think there’s no hope left for you. Chrome heart brand itself is very popular among idols. Niki Jungwon’s bandmate has many items from that store

- Jungkook works hard every day and focuses on his career. Stop dragging him into baseless rumors—he doesn’t deserve this

- It’s ridiculous how people αѕѕume he’s dating someone just because of coincidences. Let him live his life in peace!

- Jungkook has said it himself: his ‘girlfriend’ is his fans. Respect that and stop spreading nonsense.

- It’s infuriating that these rumors make two innocent idols face criticism. Stop blaming them for what they don't do

- People are so quick to judge without evidence. Jungkook and Winter don’t deserve to be dragged into this nonsense

- I’m sick of seeing baseless dating rumors. Can fans and netizens just let idols breathe?
