aespa Winter is once again embroiled in a dating rumor. This time, it's with their rival label's artist, ENHYPEN Jungwon from HYBE.
The "Supernova" hitmaker has been linked to a few SM Entertainment idols in the past, such as NCT's Jaehyun and RIIZE's Sungchan.
Recently, it has been speculated that she is seeing a male idol outside of her label, who is said to be ENHYPEN Jungwon. He debuted under Belift Lab, a subsidiary of HYBE Corporation.
According to a witness who shared photos of the two to an account notorious for exposing idols, @/SUPADUPAMY, Winter and Jungwon visited an undisclosed bar at Chungdam.

In the pictures, Winter is seen leaving the bar first, with the male idol following after a while.
Although they weren't photographed in the same frame, the alleged witness said that the two were together the whole time.

Looking at the leaked snippets, both idols are masked, so fans can barely see their faces — yet the ones who took the pictures were able to recognize them based on their clothes.
Around the speculated timeframe, Winter uploaded a dance challenge where she wore a red tracksuit, similar to the one in the leaked images.
Jungwon, on the other hand, was wearing a black hoodie. The witness claimed it was the K-pop star after following him and hearing the idol's voice.

The "secret date" allegedly happened late at night in October. Around the same time, some accounts also allegedly spotted Jungwon in the same jacket walking around in Yongsan around 2:30 a.m.
While a few speculated that it may have been a friendly date since both trained under SM Entertainment, a plethora of fans still believe that the two are in a romantic relationship.
Some, however, insist that ENHYPEN had been working nonstop around this time; thus, they doubt the idol would covertly meet Winter given his hectic schedule.
