On July 13, aespa ‘s Karina was spotted at a department store in Ginza, Japan.
In the released pictures, she is wearing a long white dress and a black hat that covers her long hair.
Speculation among fans suggests that the woman next to her might be “former SM trainee Hina.”
A review of her Instagram reveals a photo posted on the 14th, in which she is seen wearing the same outfit and that she visited Ginza.
Hina was revealed as a member of SM Rookies in July 2015 but she left SM in 2020 when aespa debuted. She is currently 24 years old, the same age as Karina.
The members of aespa are well-known for keeping strong bonds with other former trainees. They have a particularly close relationship with the seniors from SM Rookies and frequently spend time together!

Knetizens’ Comments:
1. Hina-chan is amazing
2. Karina seems to be a warmer person than I thought
3. Oh my gosh, it’s been a while
4. Wow, they are still meeting each other. They must be really close
5. It’s good to hear about Rami’s recent activities and that everyone is doing well these days. I’m also glad to see that we are still meeting up with aespa
6. But when I see things like this, no matter how much I think about it, the rumors about aespa’s early days are ridiculous and funny. They said that the aespa members would ostracize and kick out all of them, but in reality, even now, 5 years after their debut, they’re still close and meet up in private
7. Wow, Hina brings back so many memories, lol. Did anyone here watch the old Mickey Mouse Club? It featured the NCT members when they were young, as well as Hina, Lami, Koeun, and other SM rookies from that time. It’s such a nostalgic memory… And it turns out Hina and Karina were close friends. That’s amazing!
8. Which idol group is Hina from?
9. These kids are all wealthy, so even if they don’t debut, they’ll still be able to live well. They specifically cast only those kinds of kids… So, I don’t think people will stop paying attention to them just because they don’t debut
10. Hina is really good at dancing and has a pretty voice, but her face is also cat-like, so if Hina had joined aespa or debuted as a member of Medan, it would have been great…
