A brief moment from BTS member Jungkook’s recent four-hour livestream has become one of the most talked-about clips online, with fans creating new dating theories involving not one—but two different K-pop idols.

The livestream, which attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, featured Jungkook interacting casually with fans, listening to music, chatting, and spending time on his phone. However, one particular moment quickly captured the internet’s attention.
During the broadcast, Jungkook looked down at his phone for several seconds, appearing to type or read messages. Shortly afterward, he smiled broadly while continuing to look at the screen, prompting viewers to speculate that he was texting someone.

The clip rapidly spread across social media platforms, where fans began analyzing his facial expressions and body language.
Many users commented that Jungkook looked “giddy” or “in love,” comparing his reaction to someone receiving an exciting message during the early stages of a relationship. While the moment itself was only a few seconds long, it soon became the center of widespread discussion.
What made the situation unusual was that the same clip ended up fueling two completely different dating rumors.
One group of fans claimed the smile was connected to fellow BTS member V. Supporters of the long-running “Taekook” fan theory argued that Jungkook’s cheerful reaction aligned with their belief that the two idols share a romantic relationship. They pointed to previous interactions between the pair as additional “evidence,” despite there being no official confirmation of such claims.

At the same time, another section of social media reached an entirely different conclusion.
Some users insisted Jungkook was likely messaging aespa member Winter, who has also been the subject of recurring dating rumors involving the BTS star over recent months. Those fans argued that his smile supported speculation linking the two artists together.

As screenshots and edited videos continued circulating online, both groups confidently claimed they knew exactly who Jungkook was communicating with, even though nothing visible on the livestream identified the recipient.
The discussion quickly highlighted how easily ordinary moments can become the basis for competing fan theories.
Many other fans urged people not to jump to conclusions, pointing out that Jungkook could have been responding to anyone, including family members, friends, BTS members, staff, or simply reading messages from fans. Others noted that smiling while looking at a phone is an everyday reaction that does not indicate a romantic relationship.
The renewed speculation follows several recent viral posts involving Jungkook and V, along with separate rumors connecting Jungkook to Winter. As a result, nearly every public appearance or social media activity involving the singer has been closely examined by online communities searching for new “clues.”

Despite the intense discussion, there is no verified evidence identifying who Jungkook was messaging during the livestream. Neither Jungkook nor anyone else visible in the clip revealed who was on the other end of the conversation, and no official statement has been made regarding the online speculation.
For now, the viral moment remains another example of how a few seconds of unscripted interaction can quickly generate multiple competing narratives across social media. While fans continue debating who may have made Jungkook smile, the theories remain based entirely on interpretation rather than confirmed facts.
