aespa's Karina reunites with PD Na Young Suk, sparking rumors of a new variety show

aespa’s Karina and star producer Na Young Suk have reunited for an upcoming project, sparking intense curiosity and excitement among fans.

According to an exclusive report on June 18, Karina and PD Na Young Suk were recently spotted filming near Gangnam, Seoul.

Word of their reunion initially leaked through eyewitness accounts and photos shared on social media. The posts described Karina either behind the wheel or carrying out a penalty assignment, while PD Na Young Suk watched her with a broad smile, immediately fueling anticipation for what they are cooking up.

Earlier this month, Karina appeared alongside her fellow aespa members on the YouTube channel ‘Channel Full Moon’, where she shared that she had recently passed her driver's license written exam with a score of 85. At the time, PD Na congratulated her, to which Karina jokingly boasted about her "accident-free record" before clarifying that she had not yet taken the practical driving test.

When PD Na asked the other aespa members if they would be willing to ride in a car driven by Karina, she chimed in, saying, "I don't plan on buying a car, but if the company has a spare Carnival minivan, I'd love to try driving it."

Given that PD Na Young Suk previously helped IVE’s An Yu Jin—another rookie driver—with her driving lessons on the spin-off show Earth Arcade's Vroom Vroom, fans are heavily speculating that this new content will feature PD Na acting as a driving instructor for Karina.

However, the production team cautiously responded, stating, "We ask for your understanding as it is difficult to confirm specific details at this time. Please check it out through the official broadcast."

Meanwhile, Karina recently made a comeback with aespa following the release of their second studio album, LEMONADE, on May 29. PD Na Young Suk is gearing up for a packed schedule, with the premiere of his new tvN variety show ‘GBRB: Farm Operation - Go Go Farm’ on June 19, followed by the Netflix original ‘Space Tteokzip’.
