BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter have now posted their first social media updates since the dating rumors surrounding them went viral one week ago.
On December 13, Jungkook posted his first Instagram story in a while. The new story was a simple selfie of Jungkook, wearing a face mask and showcasing his many ear piercings.
While Jungkook had previously attracted interest by reposting one of RM’s Instagram stories with no added commentary, and appeared in the background of several BTS group photos yesterday, he had yet to make his own post until now.
Meanwhile, aespa’s Winter has also just broken her silence – posting her first Bubble message around the same time as Jungkook’s story post.
“It’s going to be cold this weekend, so be careful not to catch a cold! It’s snowing, so be careful driving!
Don’t catch a cold
Eat something warm!”
With Jungkook and Winter’s first social media updates since their dating rumors went viral, K-netizens are expressing mixed reactions. Some are glad the two seem to be in good health despite the intense public scrutiny, while others are criticizing the timing of Winter and Jungkook both posting at the same time.
“Did they coordinate this out of spite or something?”
“Wow, I’m so disgusted”
“It’s almost like they agreed to both post at the same time”
“It’s not like I expected them to clarify the situation through Bubble or anything, but… I never imagined they would just gloss over the whole thing like this. It’s beyond imagination”
“Wow, their fans are just pitiful”
“They would have been criticized no matter what they posted anyways. It’s obvious”
“Wow, are they seriously getting criticized for this?”
“It’s like they’re both saying, ‘So what? If you don’t like it, then leave’. I guess now that they’ve earned enough money…”
“They’re just casually interacting with fans as if they’re doing customer service”
“I thought they would at least apologize and say something like ‘We’ll do better in the future’…”
“The timing of their posts is really something elseㅋㅋㅋ”
“Winter, I regret ever liking you… Why did you do this to us…? What did we ever do wrong to you…?”
“Wow… is it really that hard to just apologize and try to comfort your fans? ㅠㅠ”
