When the photos were posted, it started speculations and some brought up Shin Hyun Ji, who has been linked to the idol before.
So basically Jungkook put the very first letters of their name (Shin Hyunji Jungkook) SJ 💜 HK. They are inseparable. This guy is a genius.
Shin Hyunji already gave spoiler in her IG as HK 🤍 where a bunny and a cat is sleeping pp.

Fans quickly “shut down” the rumors, pointing out that the initials actually matched the names of Jungkook’s family.

Yet, while it seemingly shut down “dating rumors,” the knowledge about Jungkook’s parents sparked major concerns. Many were worried that fans knew so manyd details about Jungkook’s personal life, especially when he has been so private about certain aspects, including his family.
I'm shocked to know some of y'all know Jungkook's parents name? cause I've been army for 8 years but still I've no idea what bts's parents name, their siblings name except J-hope's sister, Where do y'all even get such information I don't understand? this is actually scary af

unpopular opinion, we should not know the names of jungkook’s parents and brother 😭 i know yall are trying to defend him against mindless shippers, but that is ALSO an invasion of privacy
