Further intrigue was added by a short video circulating online, featuring an individual in a mask talking on the phone. Netizens speculated that the voice could potentially belong to Jungwon, heightening the conversation around the couple’s rumored relationship.
As the gossip gained traction, opinions among netizens varied widely. Comments ranged from innocent curiosity—”Are Winter and Jungwon really dating?” —to admiration—”If true, they make such a cute couple” —and surprise—”First Karina, now Winter too?” Many shared their excitement, contemplating the prospect of another idol couple forming just in time for the new year.
However, the original post has since been taken down amidst the swirling rumors. In response to the speculation, the agencies representing the two artists have issued statements categorically denying the dating allegations. They emphasized that the rumors are “completely unfounded.”
Moreover, the agency elaborated that the individual behind the leaked photographs attempted to exploit the situation by reaching out to media outlets for financial gain. However, a media outlet did not engage, adhering to their rules against accepting money for tips. Following this, the individual began disseminating the images maliciously, prompting the agency to announce plans for legal action against such intrusive behavior.
