In the case of the latest “evidence,” multiple pieces were put together to for “proof,” starting with Jungkook stating he would not be going live for the next couple of days after his November 4th stream. A photo of the idol began circulating, recently, showing him standing in a window of a location that has been identified as the Chrome Hearts store in Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan. 

The poster of the image claimed to have been taking photos for a client when they saw him.

aespa are currently in Japan as part of their SYNK: aeXIS Line World Tour, and just completed the second of two nights in Tokyo. Ahead of the concert, not all members were documented leaving from Korea, and this along with the venue being less than 2 miles away from the Chrome Hearts store, contributed to the rumors igniting again.

Jungkook was spotted in aoyama at a chrome hearts boutique that also just happens to be 1.5 miles away from yoyogi national stadium where aespa is holding concerts. Looks like he went with Winter on a secret vacation before schedules 🇯🇵#WINTER #JUNGKOOK #정국 #민정 #winkook pic.twitter.com/1GLhu4hTS9

Amid these rumors, fans have instead focused on photos of Jungkook during private moments being taken even by non-fans, and how they have been used against him.

Even if l a photo is taken by a “photographer” it’s still private. Avoid posting JK’s private moments and also stop engaging with antis post. It’s what they want you to do, to engage with them so their posts blow up, no one out of their little anti world cares about their claims,…

First of all, why do yall post Jungkook's pics without his consent? And then it's always the same story, CASUALLY a pic of him was leaked today… I wonder why. What would be the point for them to meet in Japan when they literally live in the same city? This ship is so forced
