WINTER and Jungwon (ENHYPEN) both deny their relationship

Amidst the relationship rumours between Winter, a member of Korean girl group aespa, and Jungwon, a member of boy group ENHYPEN, both parties have denied this.

On the 11th, Winter's agency SM Entertainment told Herald POP that there is no basis in fact.

They continued "The person who circulated the photos contacted the media for money and tried to communicate directly with us, but when the media refused to connect the information for money, they maliciously circulated the photos. We plan to take legal action."

Jungwon's agency, BELIFT LAB, also told Herald POP "The relationship rumours is not true and BELIFT LAB will take strong action against the infringement of the artist's private life, the creation and spreading of malicious rumours.’

Earlier on the same day, a sighting of Winter and Jungwon together at a whisky bar in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, was posted through online communities, claiming that they had spent time together, and a theory of a love affair emerged.
