After V’s discharge from the military, new alleged “evidence” went viral–such as a cake and the idols’ social media posts–reigniting the rumors.

2. BTS’s Jungkook And aespa’s Winter

A netizen’s post on a Korean forum recently attracted attention (and ridicule) for linking Jungkook and Winter romantically. Many people who responded to the post slammed the netizen for presenting far-fetched “evidence.”

The dating “evidence” the netizen shared included Winter and Jungkook’s similar “in-ears”…

…and hats.

The post also pointed out that Jungkook and Winter both love the gym. So, they must be dating…right?

3. BIGBANG’s G-Dragon And TWICE’s Sana

In May, dating speculation surrounding these stars began circulating online after G-Dragon tagged Sana in an Instagram story from Coldplay’s concert in Seoul. TWICE performed there as a special guest. The story, which was quickly deleted, fueled dating rumors.

G-Dragon’s agency denied the rumors, stating that the Instagram tag was a friendly gesture that had been made after G-Dragon guested on Fridge Interview, a YouTube talk show hosted by Sana and Dex. Galaxy Corporation also stated that it had not addressed the rumors sooner because doing so would have spoiled G-Dragon’s appearance on the show. This response has sparked criticism online towards the agency, but also G-Dragon, who was accused of trying to generate buzz.

4. BTS’s J-Hope And TWICE’s Sana

Earlier this year, “evidence” of their alleged relationship–visiting locations together, “lovestagrams”–went viral. A recent interaction between these stars caused their past dating rumors to resurface.

Before the concert began, J-Hope noticed Nayeon and appeared to call out to her as she made her way to her seat. The interaction attracted plenty of attention online and is keeping the rumor mill running.

5. Girl’s Day Hyeri And Woo Tae

On July 1, MyDaily reported that Hyeri and dancer Woo Tae have allegedly been dating for about a year. Their alleged relationship reportedly began after they met while filming the movie Victory. Hyeri played the lead role, and Woo Tae was the film’s choreographer. Hyeri’s agency, Sublime, gave a brief statement to Sports Seoul, saying, “We are currently checking the facts.”

6. RIIZE’s Wonbin And aespa’s Giselle

Wonbin and Giselle have been in the news more than once for dating rumors. This time, the dating rumors have been reignited because of an innocuous detail: both of them used the “eye roll” emoji during the same period of time.

A viral post on Pann compiled the idols’ recent uses of the emoji, presenting it as more “evidence” that the two are dating.

In the past, these idols were linked because they allegedly used similar phrases in their messages to fans and wore “couple items.”
