Fans have sent funeral wreaths to ENHYPEN's Jungwon over a dating rumor with aespa's Winter.

On an online forum, netizens discussed photos showing a set of funeral wreaths placed in front of HYBE's company building. These wreaths were reportedly sent in response to Jungwon's recent dating rumor involving Winter. 

Despite Jungwon denying the rumor through official statements and personally on Weverse live, the wreaths carried messages criticizing him for allegedly dating or even calling for his removal from the group.

According to K-netizens, the wreaths were likely sent by Chinese fans, specifically "akgaes," a term used to describe biased fans who strongly favor one member of a group while undermining or attacking others in the same group.

The messages on the wreaths included:

"Left: Yang Jung-won, I wonder how you plan to handle this moving forward. Right: This is truly absurd.. lol"

"Left: Jung-won's face is like a bulletproof weapon, isn't it? Right: enhypen is 66666"

"Left: Dating skills? Top class! Right: Fan betrayal? World class!"

"Left: Is lying part of being in the entertainment industry now? Right: Fans didn’t know."

"Left: Didn’t lose their original mindset? Right: The mindset of dating? Ha ha."

"Left: Betraying fans, daze daze daze. Right: Arrogant lies, live replay play play."

"Left: When you call her 'noona,' who exactly are you thinking of? Right: The most reliable leader?"

"Left: As expected of a vampire. Right: Dating only at dawn, huh?"

"Left: It’s all your fault... Right: How is God supposed to help with this?"

"Left: The world has really gotten better, hasn’t it? Right: You don’t have to apologize for doing wrong, just deny it, huh?"

This trend of sending funeral wreaths to idols following scandals or as a form of protest has raised eyebrows both domestically and internationally. Similar incidents include the case of former RIIZE member Seunghan, where such extreme actions also drew widespread criticism.

Reactions from netizens highlight the disbelief and frustration over this practice:

"Bizarre."

"Are they crazy, targeting someone who’s alive?"

"Why are they like this?"

"Didn't they already deny it?"

"Why dig up something that’s over and cause this mess... Exhausting."

"Ugh, why are they like this?"

"They said it wasn’t true, so why do this?"

"Really hate this."

"They're already pursuing legal action—do they think it's okay because it's happening in China? Is there no way to deal with this abroad?"

"250 Chinese solo stans sent this, spreading fabricated rumors and all that."

"They directly said it wasn’t true. Disgusting."

"Wow, this is insane... They’ve really crossed the line this time."

"Wow... A victim of fabricated rumors, and yet they're sending funeral wreaths... ENHYPEN’s solo-stan fandom is truly bizarre."

"They really waste money on useless things... The person directly said it wasn’t true. They should pool that money for comeback ads instead."

"They said they’re not dating, so what do they expect by sending this? lol If they were dating, would breaking up satisfy them? What more do they want?"

"Hope all of this comes back to haunt them as their own bad karma. Honestly, I don’t even understand the companies enabling this anymore."

"Anyone would think there were kissing photos or something. lol How do these fragile people even manage to be fans of anyone? They should just stick to movie or drama characters instead."
