Fans Reacts To 'AI Siblings' Taeyong, Karina Dancing Latest TikTok Challenges

SM Entertainment artists aespa's Karina and NCT's Taeyong collaborated on the latest dance challenges on TikTok, and fans couldn't help but gush over the pair's stunning visuals.

The 27-year-old leader of the mega group NCT is currently promoting as a solo artist, following the release of his solo debut album, "SHALALA," earlier this month.

Lucky for fans, it also coincided with aespa's promotional activities for its comeback album "My World," which features the main track "Spicy" as well as "Salty & Sweet," "'Til We Meet Again," "Thirsty" and more. Hence, they finally got to see the 23-year-old aespa leader and Taeyong dancing together in one frame.

On Thursday, the two idols uploaded their rendition of the #SpicyChallenge and #SHALALAChallenge on their respective TikTok accounts, catching the attention of millions of viewers on the platform and earning the nickname "AI Siblings" due to their unreal visuals.

"I feel like I'm watching the collab of visual idols... They honestly look unreal," one user wrote in an online forum, while another commented, "Both are f—king handsome and pretty. Legendary."

"[The] face combination is crazy, how did they both look like that?" a third user observed.

"I thought both of them had the same AI-like feeling and similar feeling when rapping, but it's amazing to see a two-shot for the first time," a fourth user stated.

"Visual attack," a fan wrote on the pair's #SHALALAChallenge video, which accumulated 3.6 million views as of press time.

Another commented, "You guys are so unreal."

"Joint slay," a different user commented on their #SpicyChallenge, while another said, "Best duo leader."
