According to the music industry on the 5th, recent posts on online communities have highlighted overlapping details between Jungkook and Winter, bolstering speculation that the two are dating.
An internet user said, "Jungkook and Winter have tattoos of three puppies on their arms, which suggests they are a couple."
They also noted that the in-ear monitors the two wear on stage have similar designs, and that their social media (SNS) IDs were similar—"imwinter" and "imjungkook" (since changed).
