Aespa Winter And RIIZE Sungchan’s Ridiculous Dating Rumors Resurface As More “Evidence” Goes Viral
Dating rumors between aespa‘s Winter and RIIZE‘s Sungchan have once again become a topic of discussion among netizens.
These speculations first surfaced in July 2024 but were largely dismissed due to the weak nature of the “evidence.” While both idols are under SM Entertainment, leading to the possibility that they may know each other, there hasn’t been any concrete connection between them to support the rumors.
Aespa’s Winter And RIIZE’s Sungchan Caught Up In Ridiculous Dating Rumor
Recently, however, a viral post has reignited the dating rumors by highlighting more “evidence,” though many are still unconvinced.
The viral post mentions that both Winter and Sungchan reportedly have similar sparkly in-ear monitors, Winter’s being red and Sungchan’s blue.
In another instance, OP points out that on August 9, Winter mentioned apples in her Bubble messages.
Winter: An apple in the morning is like gold.
Winter: Just finished rehearsal. Good morning.
Winter: Wait, is it not morning?
Winter: I don’t know, I just felt like sending an apple emoji…
The next day Sungchan and his bandmate Anton started a Weverse live titled “Is it okay to eat an apple at night or not?”
Winter’s Instagram profile picture also has become part of the rumor as it features the cartoon deer Bambi. The character is one Sungchan often gets compared to Bambi due to his deer-like appearance.
Other “evidence” includes the fact that both stars have mentioned Switzerland as a travel destination they’d like to visit. They both use a similar typing style with the “ㅏㅏ” (ahh) slang. Another fact mentioned by OP is the “hamburger and fries” speculation that started due to Sungchan’s famous love for hamburgers and Winter’s AirPods being named “French Fries.”
Winter left her airpods on the plane, the name of her airpods is french fries.. thinking about her airpods makes her want to eat french fries.. but then she thought again how she would be without her airpods .. she's sooo ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Despite this, many netizens have remained skeptical, dismissing the connections as coincidental and weak. Several fans pointed out inconsistencies in the evidence, suggesting that these “similarities” are common or easily explainable.
- “Here we go again, another meltdown from the crazies, lol. Winter asked fans on Bubble which cartoon character to change her profile to, and she and her childhood friend shared matching Bambi rabbit Instagram profile pictures. And Winter has mentioned so many fruits that apples don’t even matter at this point. The RIIZE members have talked about the ‘Bingbing bar’ a lot, too, not just aespa members. ‘ㅏㅏㅏ’ is used by many celebrities, not just aespa or RIIZE. Winter’s been using it since debut. It’s ridiculous to try and connect this. Winter said she liked fries since debut, and although she’s not into hamburgers, she said she only orders the set for the fries. What’s the connection here? Winter mentioned Switzerland in February 2023 and Sungchan in February 2024. There’s a whole year’s difference. Winter has also said she wants to go to Okinawa, Australia, and Thailand, among other places. There’s no connection, so why keep making this ridiculous argument?”
- “RIIZE antis, stop dragging Winter into this. Does Winter have dozens of boyfriends? Stop trying to link her to everyone.”
- “No matter what you say, Winter’s never been involved in a dating rumor. You say there are signs? You’re just ignoring what other celebrities say while making forced connections. Typical behavior of these crazies.”
- “I usually ignore things like this, but every time I watch a RIIZE behind-the-scenes video, I always see Sungchan typing intensely on his phone next to the members. It’s made me believe the dating rumors might actually be true. It’s honestly sad, lol.”
