If there’s one thing that’s certainly been made clear, it’s that the members have a truly chaotic sibling bond! Yet, netizens’ attention was also drawn by another potential friendship, and that is one between Giselle and D.O.

In the past, Giselle made it known that she was a big fan of the EXO main vocalist. When he released his solo album, Empathy, she happily recommended it.

Fans noted that, at least until the end of 2021, Giselle still referred to D.O. as sunbaenim, the formal honorific.

Her reaction is so cute 🤭🤭
At the end of 2021 giselle is still calling Kyungsoo sunbaenim, now it seems they know each other and might be close.

But in a new clip from Synk Road that is gaining attention, Giselle no longer referred to him so formally. Instead, she referred used the much more familiar term oppa.

So aespa was playing the guess-who quiz and Kyungsoo's photo came out and Giselle guess it right by saying "D.O. oppa" 🥰pic.twitter.com/fB1RdEK5NV

But more than anything, it left them feeling touched; not only was the clip itself cute, but the idea that D.O. has been providing support to his juniors in SM Entertainment is also extremely heartwarming!
