Despite the rumors, SM Entertainment has stayed quiet about any potential dating news. Meanwhile, fans are divided between cheering on this rumored love story and worrying about possible backlash, especially given Karina’s past public relationship. Whether it’s a playful coincidence or an actual romance, these two stars have MY and NCTzens (that’s the name aespa and NCT fans wear proudly) on their tippy toes.
