While speculation swirls around BTS’ Jungkook and aespa’s Winter, a familiar name has re-emerged into the public spotlight: actress Lee Yu Bi. Previously rumored to be dating global K-pop superstar, Lee Yu Bi is once again attracting attention, this time for her cryptic social media activity.
Earlier this week, fans noticed a now-deleted Instagram story from the actress that many believed was a veiled commentary on the current relationship rumors surrounding Jungkook. Although he quickly removed the post, screenshots had already circulated, fueling discussion online.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Lee Yu Bi posted a video on TikTok with the eyebrow-raising caption: “To take care of your boyfriend 🫦” — a phrase that many netizens interpreted as shady or sharp, especially considering its timing.
“He knew exactly what he was doing” one commenter wrote.
“It seems like she wants to remind people that she was there first,” said another.
Others, however, have found it “Petty and embarrassing.”
While the message itself was ambiguous, many believe it was Lee Yu Bi’s way of inserting himself into the trending conversation, perhaps intentionally, perhaps not. Its sudden spike in online activity didn’t go unnoticed either. Since the post, fans have noticed that she has become more active across all platforms, a move that some see as a way to take advantage of the renewed attention.
This isn’t the first time Lee Yu Bi has been linked to Jungkook. Although both the stars and their agencies have denied past dating rumors, fans have long speculated about their relationship based on alleged “lovestagrams,” casual schedules and stylistic similarities.
“It gives off ‘you lost it, I had it first’ vibes,” read a TikTok comment.
“Whether he’s real or not, he knows how to get people talking,” another netizen noted.
While Jungkook has remained silent on the current dating rumors, which began circulating after photos of him and Winter reportedly surfaced, the conversation about his personal life shows no signs of slowing down. With Lee Yu Bi now appearing to enter the fray, fans are wondering whether his latest posts are simply a coincidence or a calculated move to stir the pot.
