Okay, so I have this kinda crazy theory. Remember how Jungkook used to comment under Chaewon’s posts a lot? Throughout most of 2023, especially from the beginning of the year until around October, he was interacting a lot with Chaewon-related content online. He did tons of lives that year, and he often played LE SSERAFIM songs. He even specifically sang along to Chaewon’s parts during those lives. And apart from commenting on her TikToks, he was openly teasing her during his lives too, which, btw, he rarely does with anyone. But I think most of us remember that part. But here’s where it gets interesting... Chaewon went on a short hiatus on October 13, 2023. Then, on November 8, 2023, she posted an Instagram story using Jungkook’s "Hate You" as the background audio and even highlighted the lyrics. story link. Chaewon never does posts or stories like that... where she just posts a song and highlights the lyrics ...as if she was trying to send a message through the song and lyrics. And to add to that, Jungkook completely stopped interacting with any Chaewon related content after that story. He stopped playing LE SSERAFIM songs on his lives and doing dance challenges with them. And Chaewon stopped using Jungkook’s songs on her posts or stories too. https://preview.redd.it/njil0ro0uzbf1.jpg?width=1017&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecde332d929a77a987d247aee574e109a9a7576d So, my theory is… they were probably dating at some point in 2023 and quietly broke up around October. Maybe the breakup hit Chaewon hard, which is why she took that short hiatus (which was disguised as the flu by the company). Then she came back and posted that story with the lyrics of "Hate You" by Jungkook to express how she felt. And after that, they both moved on and never interacted again. submitted by /u/Alternative-Pop-6280 [link] [comments]
