aespa's Karina and IVE's Wonyoung have made a legendary two shot, fulfilling viewers' long-held wishes.
In the second part of director Shin Woo Seok's short film 'The Christmas Song,' a lengthy advertisement for Google Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3, Karina and Wonyoung take on mysterious roles as ghostly nuns who serve as symbolic angels within the story. As the short film unfolds, viewers are drawn into a narrative led by actor Byeon Woo Seok as the protagonist.
What especially caught netizens' attention was the moment Karina and Wonyoung appeared in the same scene and within the same frame. The rare two-shot thrilled fans, bringing together two of the most iconic female idols currently active.
Inside a church, the two sit side by side, their profiles crossing as they lean in to whisper into each other's ears. This brief but striking moment prompted fans to playfully speculate about what they might have said to one another, sparking curiosity and excitement.
Though the appearance was brief, it sent netizens into a frenzy, with many saying they 'couldn't believe their own eyes.' Comments poured in praising each idol’s visuals, including Karina's natural-looking, charming face that appeared to feature minimal makeup suited to her role, and Wonyoung's charismatic beauty and captivating gaze.
"Please hurry up and kidnap both of them into the drama or film industry."
"I know they actually filmed it together, but the two of them together look AI-generated. I can’t believe it."
"Wow, they really have completely different visual stylesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"Wonyoung is gorgeously flashy."
"They’re both so pretty, but they feel like people from different worldsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"That’s a whole movie concept right there."
"Wow, someone who really knows what they’re doing made this."
"Amen.. I still can’t believe the two of them appeared together in one ad as nuns (p). It feels holy."
"But somehow I feel like their real selves would be chatting about food like total foodiesㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"I was seriously shocked at this scene for a moment."
"I thought they were kissingㅋㅋ"
"This is insane. Am I really allowed to see something like this for free?"
"Karina seriously looks so good in that role."
"I wish Wonyoung would tone down her makeup a bitㅠㅠ It feels a little disappointing every time."
"They literally did similar makeup, so blaming the makeup is freaking hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s not even a proper drama, it’s an ad—why are people losing it over makeup?"
"Jang Wonyoung is really pretty."
"Wow, Karina’s side profile is soooo pretty."
"Amen."
"Karina’s side line is insane. But seriously, am I even allowed to see something like this? My eyes feel blessed."
"Am I dreaming?"

"This is Korean beauty, Korean idols—wow."
"Wonyoung is insanely pretty."
"Karina’s face is seriously so small."

"Oh my god, for a second I thought they were about to kissㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"It’s kind of obviously intentionalㅋㅋ but it’s pretty."
