Will aespa collab with TXT? Fans spot the HYBE boys in the SM girl group's teasers

Fans of the boy group joke that TXT sneaked into SM Entertainment's aespa's photoshoot leaving behind a skateboard with Soobin and Beomgy's name

It's always fun and games to find Easter eggs in K-pop concept photos and when the said Easter egg features a different K-pop group, the fun becomes tenfold. Over the last few weeks, fans of HYBE Labels' BTS have been talking about a possible collab between J-Hope who is soon going to drop his solo album, and the YG Entertainment girl group, Blackpink. This comes after the word 'Blackpink' was spotted on one of the concept photos for J-Hope's upcoming album, 'Jack In The Box'.

Fans are still left hoping for that to be confirmed and now another HYBE-related 'collab' idea has presented itself in the form of interaction between SM Entertainment's fourth-gen monster girl group aespa and HYBE's fourth-gen leaders TXT. While there is no possible way to link the two groups together, SM Entertainment has done so with one of their props and fans are wondering if this means that a collab could be in the works.

TXT's skateboard appears in aespa's concept photo

If there is one thing K-pop companies are very particular about, it is the official photos that they release. Since anything and everything released by idols is met with eagle-eyed fans who are ready to carefully scrutinize all that meets the eye, K-pop labels have to be very careful about what they release. This also means that nothing is unintentional in K-pop and every detail serves a purpose.

Now as a skateboard, that was initially featured on TXT's 'Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape' concept photos, is spotted in the background of aespa's Giselle's character concept photo, fans are left wondering. In the recent photo that was released by SM Entertainment to tease aespa member - Giselle's ae-character concept, fans were quick to spot the names of TXT's Soobin and Beomgyu on the skateboard in the background. 

Fans wondered if the prop was left in the photo to be noticed with a purpose as the board is placed right behind Giselle. This means that a collab between TXT and aespa could be in the books. With all that being said, some fans also claim that this could be a mere coincidence that has bought together the fate of three idols - Giselle, Soobin, and Beomgyu all because SM Entertainment failed to make props of their own and reused old, available props.

'Soogyu visiting Kwangya confirmed'

Shockingly, fans are taking this incident pretty well as they joke about the entire ordeal online. One fan said, "It’s like a funny Easter egg I love it lol." But one fan stated, "If it happened the other way round, aespa stans and sm stans would drag txt to filth let's be real." One more fan joked, "avis is a TXT stan," while another TXT fan joined in saying, "A soobin and Beomgyu akgae, she removed the other members stickers from the board. Kinda disappointed in Navis." One fan said, "Soogyu visiting Kwangya confirmed, MoaMy crumbssss."

One fan asked, "Im more amazed someone spotted something small like this. Like do people zoom in on the things on the background on teasers??" One fan asked, "How did the fans even notice it?" One fan responded, "They noticed Victoria in a spoon, they could probably notice an ant on the moon if it was carrying their idols' comeback spoiler." One fan said, "Collab?? I don't know but this is cute, especially since Aespa has that whole multiverse concept, like maybe they know TXT through that somehow or took the skateboard during one of their travels by accident."
