aespa‘s Giselle and Ningning are going viral after once again being embroiled in dating rumors.
Ningning recently posted a photo showing both girls’ stomachs, revealing that the two had gotten matching belly button piercings. Neither had any piercings before, so this was their very first.
The photo spread fast and went instantly viral. Many fans were beyond shocked at the reveal, while others paid more attention to the “matching” aspect of the new accessory.

Some pointed out that the piercings follow a pattern of other matching choices between the two, from “couple henna” to “couple rings.” Fans feel the accumulation of evidence is hard to explain away.

Couple henna, couple rings, couple piercings. This kind of bait is unheard of in the idol world. If Ningselle are showing it off this openly, I think it’s time to stop doubting and just accept it.

Honestly, getting matching things like this with a friend has never once crossed my mind.

However, there were also fans who saw it more simply as something close friends do together.
