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 some SM Entertainment idols in the past, such as with NCT Jaehyun and RIIZE Sungchan.
Recently, it has been speculated that she is seeing a male idol outside of their 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 a notorious account exposing idols, @/SUPADUPAMY, Winter and Jungwon visited a certain bar at Chungdam.
In the pictures, Winter is seen going out of the place first and the male idol follows 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 basing on their clothes.
At the time, 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 confirmed it was the K-pop star after following him and heard 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 in Yongsan around 2:30 a.m.
While there are comments that it might have been a friendly date since both trained under SM Entertainment, a plethora of fans still believe that the two are in a 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.
