Rumors have suddenly surfaced about a possible relationship between Aespa‘s Winter and RIIZE‘s Sungchan, catching fans off guard.

Both artists are signed to SM Entertainment, making it more plausible that they are acquainted compared to artists from different labels. Yet, beyond this shared affiliation, there doesn’t seem to be much to suggest a deeper connection.

Nonetheless, certain similarities in the messages they’ve shared with their fans have sparked speculation about a possible relationship. For instance, Sungchan referenced the ice cream brand Bing Bing in his message, specifically mentioning the condensed milk in the product.

Translation:

Seungchan: I also like Bing Bing popsicles.

Seungchan: The condensed milk on top is delicious…

Shortly after, Winter took to Bubble to express her desire for more condensed milk in her BingBing ice cream, writing, “I wish there was more condensed milk in BingBing (ice cream). I feel a little disappointed; maybe that’s the charm of BingBing (ice cream)… Of course, it would be nice if there was a lot of condensed milk… but you might get tired of it soon…”

As anticipated, this “evidence” has been met with a mix of skepticism and criticism from numerous fans. However, there are also a few who are giving the information some consideration.

Some netizens speculated that the shared interests of the two idols suggested they might be in a relationship. Nonetheless, a large number of netizens rejected this idea as implausible and criticized those who propagated the rumor.
