On July 14, 2023, the internet blew with rumors and manifestations from fans who hoped for ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Hanbin and aespa’s Karina to be the new MCs of Inkigayo.Given that the tenure of the current MCs - TXT’s Yeonjun, Noh Jeong-eui, and Seo Bum-joon - ended, it naturally led to many people believing the same. Since the duo is a highly adored and loved one, it not only came as a believable rumor but also a celebrated one.ً@hanb5n@sbsnoriter @kpop_sbs hope you can consider zb1 and aespa's leaders, sung hanbin and karina as your new mcs twitter.com/balloon_wanted…파룬@balloon_wantedJTBC shares MONSTA X Hyungwon and actress Kim Jieun will be leaving their MC positions from SBS InkigayoHyungwon and Jieun will greet viewers for their final time as MCs on July 16thv.daum.net/v/202307140843…2246JTBC shares MONSTA X Hyungwon and actress Kim Jieun will be leaving their MC positions from SBS InkigayoHyungwon and Jieun will greet viewers for their final time as MCs on July 16thv.daum.net/v/202307140843…@sbsnoriter @kpop_sbs hope you can consider zb1 and aespa's leaders, sung hanbin and karina as your new mcs 😁 twitter.com/balloon_wanted… https://t.co/Mo4TVCbSk9However, the rumors were soon debunked as Inkigayo revealed its real new MCs, who’ll be kickstarting their roles from July 23.

Even before Sung Hanbin’s debut into ZEROBASEONE, fans could already see several similarities between him and Karina, as the idol rolled out his schedules in Mnet’s reality survival show, Boys Planet.Not only did many agree on the fact that the two look immensely similar, to an extent where fans would call them “long lost twins”, but there are also other things that they’d point out.Throughout Karina’s career with aespa and Sung Hanbin’s career from pre-debut to Boys Planet and to now, with ZEROBASEONE, they stand out as two of the most multitalented K-pop idols in the industry. Their remarkable dancing skills and honey-like vocals showcased that the two coming together would be a dream duo.bella@jybcentrica lot of people have said this but i will say it again bcs they're both my ults idc sung hanbin and karina mc partners PLEEK twitter.com/seoktthew/stat…dk@seoktthewquick choose a music show mc partner for ur zb1 bias260quick choose a music show mc partner for ur zb1 biasa lot of people have said this but i will say it again bcs they're both my ults idc sung hanbin and karina mc partners PLEEK twitter.com/seoktthew/stat… https://t.co/ojQ0He11Xr🐈‍⬛🍞@pagiwy(2) sung hanbin - karinawe need THE mother together imagine how hard they gonna slay the mc special stage10(2) sung hanbin - karinawe need THE mother together imagine how hard they gonna slay the mc special stage https://t.co/hpiosYVb0P🌼Baekrina🪻Baekhyun_Karina🌼@baekrina_0613These two aces....Sung Hanbin and Karina 🩵🩷 twitter.com/_mjvxa/status/…intern meg⁺¹@_mjvxawhos your ult gg bias and your ult bg bias i wanna see smth (im bored)338whos your ult gg bias and your ult bg bias i wanna see smth (im bored)These two aces....Sung Hanbin and Karina 🩵🩷 twitter.com/_mjvxa/status/… https://t.co/FB9J0sYUIAhoney@winrinawrldjust thought about sung hanbin and karina as mcs101just thought about sung hanbin and karina as mcs https://t.co/f5K3NfgbwToreo ✿@oreomarkyi knew it. sung hanbin and karina next music bank mc.
