aespa Winter Dating RIIZE Sungchan? Rumor Arises After THESE 5 'Proofs' — MYs Refute Speculation

In an online community, dating rumors between aespa Winter and RIIZE Sungchan arose after an OP laid THESE five pieces of evidence.

On June 14, the suspicion sparked when an internet user posted an article on Nate Pann where they speculated a relationship between the two K-pop stars.

In particular, they supported their claims with five “receipts,” starting with recalling a past interview with the male idol involved. At the time, Sungchan was asked about his favorite season and he responded that he doesn’t like summer and winter that much.

The OP then emphasized Shotaro and Eunseok’s reactions when they were seen trying to bottle their laughter especially when Sungchan said “winter.”

The author claimed that there is nothing to laugh about it, insisting that it must have something to do with saying the female idol’s name in Korean.

The second “piece of evidence” was Sungchan naming his dog after the idol, while the third “proof” is the same interest of the speculated couple of watching cute puppy videos.

Fourth, the fan hyped up the dating rumor by uploading photos where Winter & Sungchan were said to be wearing “couple items,” such as a similar cardigan, glasses, padding, and sweater.

Lastly, the OP also emphasized that Sungchan selected Busan as the place where he wants to hold their fan sign, which is the hometown of Winter.

When the article was uploaded, it amassed over 73.4k views, drawing divided opinions from K-pop fans, including MYs (aespa fandom) and BRIIZEs (RIIZE fans).

While there are some agreed that it could be a possibility, the majority refuted this speculation and pleaded with Netters to leave both idols alone.

Mys especially defended Winter who ended up being attacked by Sungchan’s fans, calling her hames and spreading false rumors about her.

• “Oh, I must be so tired if I was Winter. Why are these guys following her?”
• “A few days ago, it was Jung Jaehyun. How many times does it change?”
• “Fans of male idols, please leave female idols alone. You guys have no interest in the female idol fight and stop dragging other female idols into the male idol fight. Even though the generations have changed, what they do is the same, it’s bizarre.”
• “The clothes they brought were all different and the glasses were all different, so I don’t know what to consider as evidence.”
• “Winter only likes Karina, stop fooling around.”
• “Now it’s f*cking funny. How many people Winter is dating?”
• “Just go study and don’t do something that won’t help you in life.”
