In recent years, virtual idols have become popular in South Korea, and one of the most successful and discussed is PLAVE. And now HYBE, which has many well-known idol groups, will also launch the virtual idol group "SYNDI8" and officially debut on the 27th, but the name of one of the members is CANARY (카나리), not only the name is similar to the leader of aespa Karina (카리나), but also the MBTI and height are the same, which has set off a heated discussion on the Korean Internet.

HYBE launched the virtual girl group "SYNDI8" on the 27th, with a total of 4 members named CANARY, NEST, GOYO, and RAVEN, each with their own abilities and magic tools. However, because in the past, HYBE founder Fang Shiyi was revealed by Min Hee-jin that he had said that "I can roll the aespa", so the outside world felt particularly sensitive when they saw CANARY.

Because CANARY (카나리) would be "Karina (카리나)" if the last two words were reversed, and the MBTI set to ENFP and height of 168 cm were exactly the same as Karina. Netizens felt quite dumbfounded when they saw it, "Similar to the name of the girl group that wants to be crushed, MBTI is the same, and even the height is the same, to this extent, Fang Shiyi is a family of unrequited lovers", "Click in and find out that the name is CANARY", "When I saw the title, I thought of Karina, and I wanted to say if it was intentional, but I clicked in and took a closer look and found that it was really intentional, what are you doing?"
