On June 29 and 30, aespa kicked off their second world tour, “2024 aespa Live Tour – SYNK: Parallel Line,” at the Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.

During the two-day concert, the quartet met a total of 12,000 offline spectators. Not only MYs (fandom) were present, but the venue was also filled with a slew of celebrities.

Some of them are their seniors and close friends, such as Girls’ Generation Taeyeon, Chung Ha, Girl’s Day Hyeri, DJ Raiden, John Park, and more.

But among the celebrities who attended the concert, a pair was spotted, sending the internet into a frenzy.

They were none other than EXO Suho and Red Velvet Irene!

On June 29, the SM leaders showed their support for their juniors by attending Day 1 of the event.

In particular, Chanyeol was also present on Day 1. While some expected that Suho and him would sit together, the EXO the leader joined Irene instead.

On that day, it was even revealed that the male idol attended a wedding before coming to watch aespa with the Red Velvet singer and other SM officials.

During the event, eyewitnesses raved over their interaction throughout aespa’s show, and were truly blinded by their perfect visual chemistry!

Following the concert, the duo’s photos circulated online, and indeed, Suhorene shippers are once again alive and thriving, guessing their real status.

Suho and Irene have always been speculated to be dating, especially after the multiple times they were spotted together in concerts and events.

In particular, while both leaders are known among fans for being “indifferent” to celebrities of the opposite sex, the two are rather calm, smiling, and at ease when together. Looking at Suho’s kind and gentle gestures to Irene, people can’t help but wish the two would end up together.

However, while EXO-Ls and ReVeluvs aren’t complaining, some clarified that they are just really close friends. Aside from training together for a long time under SM Entertainment, they are also both 91-liners; thus, they naturally became friends.

Here are some of the comments:

  • “Ugh, people who are dating wouldn’t be so openly seen together like this. If you see male & female celebrities hanging out, you can usually relax because it means that they are most likely not in a relationship.”
  • “Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Those two were originally close, so there’s no way they wouldn’t be close. They had a lot of overlapping activities as trainees and also attended a lot of leader events like SM.”
  • “I’ve been an Eri and ReVeluv for 10 years, but given their personalities, there’s no way they would stick together like that if they were dating. It’s nice to see it.”
  • “They are the same age, so they can be friends.”
