BTS Jungkook’s “Rule-Breaking” Actions Linked To Dating Rumors

BTS‘s Jungkook has been pulled into dating speculation again due to his recent actions.

On September 17, BTS arrived at Incheon Airport, heading to Las Vegas for their appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

As the group entered the airport they were recorded by both fans and media as they made their way through. Fans documented the prior to going through the security checkpoint, where it was noted that while the other members removed extra clothing, Jungkook appears to remained dressed.

At most airport, fliers are usually required to remove external clothing before going through any scanners, though it is not entirely universal.

Some have connected the action to Jungkook’s dating rumors with aespa‘s Winter.

Along with other “couple items,”  some netizens believe the pair have a “couples” tattoo on their back of their arms, which has remained a continued “proof” of their dating rumors being true.

Some criticized the idol, again bringing up the dating rumors and seeing his behavior as proof.

I can’t believe all these shippers are fighting so hard for a guy who can’t even take his jacket off during an airport security check because of a couple tattoo with his gf 😭 Meanwhile every other member is taking theirs off except him pic.twitter.com/AZgEqOldHL

Hiding 🐶🐶🐶 tattoo like a total coward, lying to fans that he’s single while constantly getting caught in scandals… his behavior is pure brainless trash. And his blind-ass stans are out here completely unhinged just to protect this pathetic manchild 🤮 #Cowardkook #winkook

On the other hand, fans continued to defend Jungkook, both refuting the tattoo’s existence, as well as reminding that he is an adult and can date if he wants to.

My god, stop being so obsessed with this poor man, why do you want him to take off his jacket? This is starting to get really creepy.

Imagine being this jobless… cuz what do you mean that y’all are still on this topic after a year (leaving aside that it was debunked a lot of times) ? Jungkook is so relevant that even his antis take time to talk and post about him
