BTS’s RM and aespa’s Karina were caught up in dating rumors.

On November 6, a popular Korean online community had a trending post filled with speculation that RM and Karina are dating.

One netizen raised the rumor based on Karina’s latest affinity for the band Se So Neon and RM’s friendship with Se So Neon’s lead vocalist, Hwang So Yoon.

The netizen behind the recent dating speculations cited a series of Instagram updates from Karina as a starting point. The posts in question featured the band Se So Neon, of which RM is a known friend of the lead vocalist, Hwang So Yoon, sparking intrigue about a potential connection between RM and Karina.

The netizen also highlighted matching black and white photos shared separately by RM and Karina on their Instagram stories. Each image showcased a pose with Hwang So Yoon, suggesting that these coordinated posts might be a discreet nod to a relationship between the two stars.

However, Korean netizens think this is the most ridiculous dating rumor ever. They commented, “I’m sorry this is the most ridiculous one yet tying two idols together,” “Karina only looks at a guy’s face,” “Ignore posts like this because it’s written by delusional middle-aged women,” “RM said he has no girlfriend,” “I’m an ARMY and I’m sorry…this is the funniest dating rumor that a BTS member was involved in,” “The evidence they posted is so weak,” “The evidence they posted… lol” and “This is so ridculous that it’s so funny.”
