BTS’s Jungkook’s dog Instagram flooded with hate amid dating rumours with aespa’s Winter

Jungkook’s dog Bam has unexpectedly found himself caught in the crossfire of internet drama — and fans aren’t having it.

What started as a quiet Instagram page celebrating Jungkook’s beloved Doberman has recently been overrun with hateful comments, leaving many wondering: how did it come to this?

It all dates back to July, when BTS’s Jungkook and aespa’s Winter were swept up in dating rumours.

Fans online claimed to have spotted “evidence” of a possible relationship — from matching accessories to similar gym routines.

But none of these claims were ever confirmed, and most fans quickly dismissed the chatter as baseless speculation. Still, the rumours spread fast, and Winter’s Instagram was hit with a wave of angry messages not long after.

Now, months later, the negativity has bizarrely shifted toward Jungkook — not on his personal (inactive) Instagram, but on Bam’s account instead.

Comments like “Stay away from Winter” and “Leave her alone” have filled the comment sections, with some posts even containing severe threats like “die.”

The sudden hostility has sparked outrage among fans, particularly BTS’s devoted ARMY. Many were devastated to see such hateful remarks being made not only about Jungkook but also about a dog's page, which used to be a place full of adorable pictures and fan affection.

Supporters have responded by saturating the account with encouraging remarks and kind messages in an attempt to counteract the hate with good vibes.

On the flip side, some aespa fans are pushing back against the idea that the hateful messages are coming from Winter’s fanbase. They’ve pointed out that many of the accounts leaving the comments don’t even follow Winter, raising suspicions that trolls may be fanning the flames in an attempt to pit fandoms against each other.

Amid all the noise, many fans are urging a return to empathy and common sense. As some have rightly pointed out, even if rumours exist, they’re no excuse for targeted harassment — especially not over something as innocent as a dog’s social media account.
