Rumors linking Winter and Jungkook first surfaced months ago, with fans claiming to find “evidence” of their relationship through matching accessories and social media posts. The talk died down for a while but reignited after Jungkook appeared on a live stream using a phone case with red devil horns — a design many fans claimed matched one allegedly seen with Winter.
