So cute and also chaotic: during a recent livestream on October 30, BTS’s Jungkook was buying and unwrapping those viral name-printed Kancho snacks, and when he pulled one out he literally said, “Ah, this name could lead to controversy, so I’ll skip it,” then didn’t read it aloud. He’d tried the same snack bit earlier and joked about not finding his own name, then came back for more — only to pass on that one cookie.
Unsurprisingly, fans immediately started buzzing. The moment reignited chatter around the recent dating rumors involving aespa’s Winter, and some netizens suggested the skipped name might have been “Minjeong” (Winter’s real name). Socials filled up with clips and reactions — some teasing, some protective (“leave him alone”), most just stunned that he’d dodge a cookie name on stream.
Important to note: Jungkook didn’t confirm anything on stream — he simply avoided reading the name and said it could be controversial, which fans interpreted in different ways.
Quick context for anyone catching up
- Jungkook is BTS’s youngest member (the maknae) and the group’s main vocalist; he frequently does informal livestreams where fans react in real time.
- aespa debuted under SM Entertainment in 2020; Winter’s birth name is Kim Minjeong (a fact often referenced in fan conversations).
- Kancho-style snacks have been used in viral name games and variety-style moments — pulling a name and reading it aloud is a common gag that can spark fan shipping talk.
Overall: a small, playful moment on livestream turned into a big fan-driven reaction thanks to existing rumors. No confirmation came from Jungkook or either agency — just a short, awkward skip that the fandom will probably meme for days.
