Being a handsome, talented and witty idol, BTS Jungkook has been involved in many dating rumors. While some of them were disproved, others had an ounce of potential. These are five women who have been involved in Jungkook dating rumors.
On the morning of September 30, a video showing Jungkook intimately embracing a girl in his apartment was spread on social media. Netizens carefully noted that the boy in the video has the same hairstyle as Jungkook, and the details of the doorbell, switch and sofa are similar to the male idol’s apartment in Brunnen Cheongdam, Seoul. The Doberman dog wagging its tail in the video is also suspected to be Jeon Bam, Jungkook’s pet dog. BTS’ agency, HYBE, has not yet commented on this video.
As the video is going viral online, netizens have “unearthed” the love story of BTS’ golden maknae. Throughout his career, the handsome idol has been involved in many dating rumors, but the most famous and widespread ones are listed below.
The mysterious girl from Jeju Island
Earlier this year, a post about Pann took over the internet claiming that Jungkook was dating a girl from Jeju.
The poster claimed that BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS V also met at the exact location about a year ago. The photo showed Jungkook sitting next to a girl. The shot was taken from behind so that the girl’s face was not visible. The poster also added a noteworthy post, saying that Jungkook has found love.
However, the rumors were soon denied. Fans claimed that the photo was taken when Jungkook went to a restaurant with his friends and the girl in question was a staff member
You
In a YouTube upload in 2022 by former reporter Lee Jin Ho, he said that, through an acquaintance of Lee Yu Bi and Jungkook, they knew for sure that they were dating in 2021.
Lee Jin Ho pointed out that Jungkook had an e-commerce account registered using his ID. In the purchase history, there was a review for the Chanel Silver Jang, a bag that Lee Yu Bi once showed off on social media.
Lee Jin Ho also revealed that the couple was spotted on a date on Jeju Island in November 2021.
A married tattoo artist
In 20219, a photo taken by a security camera showed Jungkook hugging a girl from behind.
The woman in question is Lee Mi Joo, a tattoo artist. Netizens continued to spread the frontal profile picture of the tattoo artist as she went out for a quick meal with Jungkook before heading to the tattoo shop.
Lee Mi Joo was rumored to be married; However, when ARMYs sent a DM to one of Mi Joo’s friends, that person revealed that Lee Mi Joo had a boyfriend, but was not married. They added that Jungkook and Mi Joo were simply friends.
A classmate named Park Se Won
Jungkook was also involved in a dating rumor with a classmate named Park Se Won before his debut. One photo also showed them kissing. Park Se Won was active on social media and often shared moments with Jungkook. He also mentioned that he was an idol trainee in his posts and said that he couldn’t spend much time with her because he was busy.
Jungkook also admitted to dating a girl in “American Hustle Life.” He said: “This was when I was young, and it was like I was in a relationship but not really in a relationship. When we were young, we hung out together as a joke and stuff. If we look at elementary school children. We’d just say, “Let’s go out,” and say I don’t like meeting and stuff like that. I don’t like going out either.”
The intern is one step away from being a (G)I-DLE member
In 2017, DC Inside was abuzz with an image of a girl allegedly ex-girlfriend of Jung Kook. This is Go So Hyun, a trainee born in 1997 at CUBE. He was in the initial lineup of CLC and had the chance to debut with (G)I-DLE. However, he left before this happened for health reasons.
There are rumors 2 years ago that Jungkook and Go So Hyun dated when they studied at the School of Performing Arts. Several photos found by netizens further add to the speculation.
aespa Winter
In 2025, netizens shared a series of “evidence” fueling rumors of a romantic relationship between BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter. Clues include matching dog tattoos, ring finger nail decorations, similar in-ear monitors and fashion items speculated to be couple items. One netizen even commented: “They literally have the same dog tattoo – how can fans still deny it? It seems like they want people to notice.”
Adding to the speculation, Jungkook was reportedly spotted at an aespa concert during his military leave. Fans were surprised, especially since he has never been seen attending concerts of HYBE girl groups such as NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM or ILLIT. International fans also shared photos of Jungkook at the concert, wearing a large mask and fur hat to keep a low profile.
Another curious point raised by netizens is Jungkook’s Instagram ID, “mnjungkook”. Although she once explained that it stands for “my name is Jungkook,” some have pointed out that swapping the “m” and “n” could read “Min Jungkook” — very similar to Winter’s real name, Kim Minjeong, further intensifying the dating speculation.
