BTS Jungkook's Weverse Livestream Controversy: Unboxing Kancho Snack and Dating Rumors with aespa's Winter
BTS' Jungkook recently went live on Weverse to interact with fans and unbox the popular Korean snack, Kancho. The snack's 40th-anniversary edition featured names on each biscuit, sparking a trend in Korea to find one's name. During the livestream, Jungkook skipped reading out one name, leading to speculation about a possible connection to aespa's Winter. Dating rumors between the two idols have circulated in the past, fueled by small details like social media usernames and accessories worn during livestreams.
Fans criticized the tendency in the K-pop industry to create dating rumors based on minimal interactions between male and female idols. They expressed disappointment at the situation and defended Jungkook against groundless speculation. Jungkook, who recently completed his military service, has been reconnecting with fans through social media and livestreams. He made a public appearance at the 2025 New York Fashion Week as Calvin Klein's ambassador and participated in the brand's denim campaign. BTS is currently preparing for their next comeback in Spring 2026.
