Unsurprisingly, when any female and male idols interact, rumors arrive. One photo gained attention amongst both international and Korean idols, showing the members of aespa and those in NCT, with a caption “implying” a relationship between them.

These images, along with other “evidence” (especially surrounding Winter and Jaehyun), have promoted “unwarranted” and “stupid” rumors about the members of aespa and NCT dating.
After all the rumors, while some thought someone was out for the members…
