aespa’s Winter Apparent Response To Couple Tattoo Accusations Earns Mixed Reactions

aespa Winter‘s recent actions regarding her alleged couple tattoo have sparked discussion.

Previously, evidence of the two idols’ dating has been discussed on more than one occasion, but the sighting of their alleged couple tattoo solidified the rumors for many netizens.

A performance by aespa has now brought the tattoos back into the spotlight.

On December 19, the KBS Song Festival took place, featuring a line-up of special performances by idols.

aespa were in attendance and took the stage to perform “Dirty Work” and “Rich Man,” accompanied by a special introduction.

During the performance, the group wore all-white outfits, though one part of Winter’s stood out. On her right arm, the idol wore a long glove that went up her arm.

This is the arm that her tattoo is on and the glove appears to keep it covered throughout the performance.

Netizens discussed this online, with some commenting that it was covered because it was a public broadcast. Other pointed out that on other public broadcasts, it was not always covered in this manner, and had a mixture of thoughts on her covering the tattoo.

• Her boyfriend must feel hurt.
• The fact that it was censored at all is basically admitting they’re dating… If this was how it was going to be, why even do it in the first place?
• Even if they censor it, people mock them. If they don’t censor it, people curse at them. What are they supposed to do?? Do people think tattoos can just magically disappear?
• Sigh… honestly, both of them seem so pathetic. No matter what, it just makes you think, ‘Why did you do this at all?’
