There's WAY too many parallels
It looks like Taeyong and Jaehyun are having a standoff too!
This is too freaky.
So SMCU strikes again huh
I wonder if NCT will ever be included in one of the Aespa episodes officially
So Taeyong + Karina are somehow corrupted by the Black Mamba and Jaehyun + Ningning are trying to fight against the Black Mamba
Also
The smoke is like a poisonous smoke that affected everyone and Ningning was running away from the smoke in Next Level. The black + red also fits in with 7th sense from debut.
NCT's concept is of coders/hackers, and Giselle's line was "what happens if ae gets hacked?"
The hearts Jungwoo is shooting is on the same video title screen of Aespa's Black Mamba
EXO's connected in here though the sets....This is really freaky. They're also coming back so close to each other-- is there a reason for that? I think it has something to do with the lore. There's the best explanation.
