“Leave Jungkook alone”- Fans rally behind BTS star amid surge of malicious comments and death threats over false rumors
BTS member Jungkook has become the target of online hate, following the ongoing dating rumors involving him and aespa’s Winter. The speculation began several months ago as unsubstantiated claims, quickly evolving into persistent rumors, fueled by alleged “couple items” and supposed social media ‘hints.’ They have sparked heated discussions and online harassment directed at both idols.
It recently resurfaced after a recent live Weverse broadcast of Jungkook, where he was seen using a phone case with red devil horns. Some users alleged that the design matched one previously used by Winter, reigniting alleged claims about a relationship between the two idols.
Following the renewed rumors, both the BTS member and Winter have once again become subjects of malicious social media comments. Winter was subjected to hateful remarks during her live stream, many of which referenced the Seven singer, who also received an influx of abusive messages, including death threats and personal attacks. As the singer currently had no public posts on his Instagram account, several of these comments were directed toward his dog Bam’s account.
In response, the BTS member’s fans organized efforts to stop the hate, flooding the comment sections with supportive messages and urging respect for the artist’s privacy. Taking to social media platform X, a fan commented,
“At this point that girl and his fandom the one who should leave Jungkook alone, the obsess is real. Can’t stay relevant without being ‘the girl who is shipped with Jungkook’ huh?”

Supporters emphasized the need for responsible online behavior and protection of artists from malicious online activity. Many condemned the spread of baseless dating speculation linking the singer to aespa’s Winter, while others have called for unity and continued support for the BTS member amid the malicious online attacks.

Leave Jungkook alone. He doesn’t deserve this kind of hate!!! Let’s support him with kind words under the last three posts on Bam’s account.
PROTECT YOUR ARTIST RESPECT JUNGKOOK
Many fans also expressed concern about the lack of empathy shown by some individuals. Others criticized ‘obsessive fans’ for fueling baseless speculation about the idol’s private life.
Respect and humanity were lost so sad truly
Why is it always crazy fans who is obsessed with Jungkook , like he never really even mentioned that girl its all started bc of some shippers who need to touch some grass and leave him alone , this is becoming so fcking ridiculous
These toxic people spread their venom and hatred everywhere! They do more harm to their so-called favorites than to the person they’re harassing. And as Jungkook said: “artists are innocent.”
These comments are absolutely insane. I wish he would close that account or at least close the comments…
Why did the online harassment begin for BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter amid renewed dating rumors? Details explored
The recent wave of rumors began after Jungkook’s live broadcast on October 28, where he was seen using a The Puffer Case – Cupid in Red from Urban Sophistication. Some users quickly linked it to Winter, who had previously been seen with a similar case.
The situation escalated further when Winter posted a photo with fellow member Giselle two days later. Despite the image being pixelated, online commenters pointed out that her phone case was from the same brand, Urban Sophistication, as the BTS member’s.
While many netizens speculated that this was further “proof” of a romantic connection, others clarified that aespa had previously collaborated with the brand in 2023. As part of the collaboration, the company released special editions of its signature “Puffer” line phone cases for the group, making the item easily accessible to the members.
This was not the first time fans had drawn such parallels. Back in August 2025, Jungkook shared the song Weather by Novo Amor. Fans quickly noted that Winter had used in one of her earlier Instagram posts. Around the same time, fans also noted that the idols’ Instagram handles, @imjungkook and @imwinter, looked similar, which further fueled speculation.
Despite there being no confirmation or interaction suggesting any relationship, the rumors led to a surge of malicious behavior online. Remarks such as “Stop using Jungkook” and other personal insults dominated the chat section, prompting widespread concern among fans.
As the situation continues to unfold, both Jungkook and Winter have remained silent on the matter.
