aespa's Winter & Kim Ji Won stir up 'couple keychain' allegations

aespa's Winter and actress Kim Ji Won are stirring up "couple key chain" allegations.

Some time ago, Winter was spotted at the airport with a cute new bee key chain on her bag.

It turned out, the bee key chain was a custom-made merchandise item for Kim Ji Won's fan meeting, 'Be My One'. The key chains were handed out to attendees at her fan meeting in June as an expression of gratitude, and it looks like Winter got one as well.

And the fuzzy white ball key chain worn by Kim Ji Won at the airport along with her own bee key chain is a key chain designed by Winter.

It's believed that Winter and Kim Ji Won became acquainted because they use the same hair and makeup studio.

Fans cutely commented, "OMG they need to release a statement!", "Winter got a limited edition bee!", "They're obviously a couple!", "Are they dating?!", "So cute", "I need an explanation", and more.
