The buzz led a Korean community user on Pann to ask if Karina is also close with Jungwon, since Winter (another aespa member) is known to have ties with him.

If Winter is close with Yang Jung Won, does that mean Karina’s close with him too?
— Viral Pann post
Netizens commented that Jungwon trained under SM Entertainment before joining ENHYPEN, which likely put him in contact with aespa members, including Karina.
Some pointed out both groups debuted around the same time and are close in age, so friendly ties aren’t surprising.
Others saw a clear agenda behind the Pann post.
“They’re both SM trainees. Of course, they’d be close; there are tons of friendships like that.”
“They’re SM trainees from the same period.”
“Since Yang Jung Won was also under SM, wouldn’t they naturally be close?”
“Honestly, I feel like aespa and ENHYPEN in general are on friendly terms… They debuted around the same time and are similar in age. Plus, since Jung Won and Jay were SM trainees, even if they’re not super close, they definitely would’ve at least known each other early on.”
“The intention behind this post looks really obvious.”
No official statements yet. Fans are closely watching the situation as the Jungwon-Karina connection grabs eyes.
