On Saturday, June 29, EXO's Suho and Red Velvet's Irene reportedly attended aespa's SYNK: PARALLEL LINE Day 1 concert in Seoul. When pictures and videos of the two K-pop idols at the venue landed on the internet, fans couldn't help but swoon over the two's friendship and their support for their junior labelmate, aespa.
