Dating rumours are common in K-pop. Fans often turn small moments into a big deal. Whether it’s a simple interaction or similar clothes, anything or everything can lead to speculations. The latest K-pop idols to get caught up are Stray Kids’ Hyunjin and aespa’s Karina. A post which claimed that Karina was allegedly seen on a video call with Hyunjin went viral on X (formerly Twitter). Fans have mixed reactions; check it out below!
Are Aespa’s Karina And Stray Kids’ Hyunjin Dating?
The rumour began with a post from October 2024, which resurfaced on June 13, 2025. In the post, the user claimed that during a Chinese fansign event, Karina was on a video call with a male K-pop idol and was all happy and immersed in it. Some users claimed that the male idol was Hyunjin. It’s important to note that there are no clear photos or videos to support these claims. Reacting to the post, some fans stated that sasaengs often spread misinformation.
As reported by Pinkvilla, in 2021, Hyunjin faced a similar rumour with Karina. Apparently, fans believed that Hyunjin’s wallpaper featured Karina. It created a buzz; however, to put an end to these claims, the Stray Kids member clarified it instantly. He stated that it was just a drawing inspired by a movie he loved.
Invading an idol’s privacy is wrong and harmful. Like anyone, K-pop stars deserve personal space to live their lives. Fans should not dig into their private moments or spread unverified rumours. Hyunjin and Karina are humans and should be free to make their own choices without fear of judgement or harassment. Hence, fans should respect their privacy and let them be and do whatever they want and not make a massive deal about it.
