aespa’s Giselle and RIIZE’s Wonbin have fans on edge, thanks to rumors they’re secretly dating. Both idols have been caught using cutesy, non-standard Korean phrases, like “algejji” instead of the typical “algetji,” in messages to fans.
For many netizens with an eagle eye, that’s more than a coincidence—it’s practically a love language. Adding more fire, Giselle’s profile picture reportedly shows a black cat, associated with Wonbin. As if that wasn’t enough for some, Wonbin started tagging “ung” onto the end of his sentences in November 2024—an odd linguistic addition that Giselle started using quickly after in her own posts.
Meanwhile, ex-trainee Han Seo Hee, known for spilling idol tea, shared a photo of a couple strolling at night, claiming it was Giselle and Wonbin. Even though the faces aren’t visible, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about their potential romance, using these pics as proof.
As of now, neither Giselle nor Wonbin has addressed the rumors , leaving fans to think twice about every text, emoji, and selfie for evidence. While some think it’s just a simple coincidence, others are convinced that their shared slang signifies a secret bond!
