Yet, the tides have turned after the reactions of two other members to Chiquita during the event.

On the first show, BABYMONSTER performed their track “We Go Up.”

A recent clip saw “shipping” comments, which showed both members Seonghyeon and Keonho‘s reaction to Chiquita’s part in the performance.

In the comments, netizens saw the “interactions” between the 09 liners, and it unsurprisingly led to some “speculations,” with fans shipping Chiquita with the CORTIS members.

In particular, the “ship” between Keonho and Chiquita is one that is often seen on social media.

Whereas, some think they are “twins” in disguise.
