BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter are caught up in fresh dating rumors—and Winter’s Instagram is taking the hit.
The new gossip blew up after Jungkook launched a new Instagram account @mnijungkook. Some fans claimed “mni” hints at Winter’s real name Minjeong. Jungkook fired back on a livestream, saying it just means “My Name Is Jungkook.”
Despite his clarification, Winter’s recent Instagram posts from July 13 and 14 were flooded with hate comments. Messages range from angry rants linking her to Jungkook, to emoji spams.
aespa fans are pushing back hard. They’ve started leaving positive comments under Winter’s posts to drown out the negativity. On social media, supporters are urging others not to feed the hate and to respect the idols’ privacy.
Please leave positive comments on Winter’s recent IG post! Don’t engage with the hate comments.
