Protest trucks have reportedly been sent to HYBE amid ongoing dating rumors involving BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter, sparking heated discussion among fans and netizens alike.
According to online communities, the protest trucks appeared near HYBE’s headquarters, expressing demands related to Jungkook following the spread of dating rumors linking him to Winter.
While previous trucks were supportive…
…these seem to attack Jungkook instead.
“If you’re not going to remove your couple tattoos, stay out of BTS promotions.”
“All ARMYs who waited for you through military get in return is you belittling them.”
“Are you in the right mind when you act in a way that takes fans for fools, damaging the group?”
The situation quickly gained traction online as photos circulated. Some argue that Jungkook’s personal life should remain exactly that. On the other hand, others expressed understanding toward fans who were upset, noting that idol culture has long been built on a unique relationship between artists and fans.
- Trucks? I really don’t get it. Is dating such a crime? They’re not in their teens. This actually looks healthier to me.
- They’re right.
- They’re right though. LOL, as a fan of another group even, I understand.
- He went to the army early, and discharged without any clear activities or promotions. Seeing his couple tattoos must rile them up.
- But he got the tattoos in such an obvious spot, I wonder why they didn’t just acknowledge the relationship publicly. That’s my biggest wonder.
- Whether or not he gets couple tattoos, how far are you guys gonna meddle?
As of now, neither HYBE nor SM Entertainment has released an official statement regarding the rumors.
