Winter, a member of South Korean girl group aespa, shared a series of new photos on social media Wednesday, marking another public update as online speculation continues over her personal life.
The singer posted multiple selfies to her personal account without a caption. The images show Winter posing in a sleeveless dress inside a studio with a soft pink backdrop, seated among scattered flower petals. In several shots, she reclines on the floor or holds a rose, creating a polished, editorial-style atmosphere. Her softly waved hair and understated makeup highlight her signature minimalist aesthetic.
The posts come as Winter has been the subject of dating rumors involving BTS member Jungkook. Online speculation has focused on alleged similarities between the two artists’ social media accounts, reports that Jungkook attended an aespa concert while on military leave, and claims that both artists have matching tattoos on opposite arms.
Neither BigHit Music, which manages BTS, nor SM Entertainment, aespa’s agency, has issued an official statement addressing the rumors.
Following the emergence of the speculation, Winter posted a selfie to her personal account for the first time on Tuesday. The photo was reportedly taken backstage at the 2025 Melon Music Awards, held at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome. Fans noted that her arm — where the alleged matching tattoo is said to be located — was not visible in the image.
In the photos released Wednesday, Winter again appeared only from angles that did not show her right arm, prompting further discussion among fans online.
aespa most recently released its sixth mini album, “Rich Man,” in September. The group remains one of SM Entertainment’s flagship acts, with strong global streaming performance and a growing international fan base.
