Dating rumors linking BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter have resurfaced several times over the past few months.
However, new information about Jungkook’s recent schedule is now shutting down part of the speculation.
Recently, Jungkook was announced as a global brand ambassador for Hublot, the world-famous Swiss luxury watch brand.
Following the announcement, fans looked into the details of his campaign and discovered that the photoshoot and promotional video were filmed in Tokyo, Japan.
According to fans, the campaign’s director and production studio are both based in Tokyo. The filming location was reportedly close to a Chrome Hearts store where Jungkook had previously been spotted.
So Jungkook’s Hublot campaign was actually filmed in Tokyo. The director and his studio are based in Tokyo, and it’s only 600m away from the Chrome Hearts store where JK was spotted, he probably just went shopping after wrapping up work that day. pic.twitter.com/q1BYKmjVdQ

The clarification gained attention because earlier rumors claimed Jungkook had traveled to Japan to meet Winter. Previous allegations suggested that when aespa held concerts in Japan in May and November, Jungkook was there to secretly go on dates with her.
Some online posts also claimed Winter traveled separately from her members during that period.
With confirmation that Jungkook was in Japan specifically for his Hublot campaign shoot in November, many fans are now pushing back against the dating claims. They argue that his trip was professional and work-focused, not personal.
