aespa’s Karina and NCT’s Jisung spark romance buzz

aespa’s Karina and NCT’s Jisung are the next potential power couple that has fans buzzing! In March 2025, eagle-eyed netizens noticed uncanny similarities in their recent social media posts from Amsterdam, including nearly identical snaps of Van Gogh’s iconic sunflower painting. This intriguing connection comes just a year after Karina’s highly publicized breakup with actor Lee Jae Wook, fueling speculation that the idols might be having a sweet romance.

Jisung recently treated fans to snapshots from his trip to Iceland and Amsterdam, even sharing an aurora photo that connected him to the aespa member. Dedicated stans also recalled how the two idols frequently cheer each other on at concerts, sometimes capturing photos with similar poses or objects. These subtle hints have only stoked fan theories, sparking curiosity and speculation among many.

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.
