A post on Nate Pann showed proof that ZEROBASEONE's Sung Hanbin and aespa's Karina were dating.

Some people thought that ZEROBASEONE's Sung Hanbin and aespa's Karina were dating after their popular TikTok challenge together made it look like they were close.

Sung Hanbin sent his friends on Bubble a picture of peeled tangerines laid out horizontally on December 18th, along with the question "Can I get married?"

After just two days, on December 20, Karina also shared pictures of tangerines.

The first caption said "tangerines are love," and the second caption showed a row of peeled tangerines and said "high-end tangerine peeler."

Even though she tagged NingNing, all NingNing said in answer was "rwi~." The timed orange posts have made people look twice.

In a fan signing event, Sung Hanbin (born 2001) said she liked older people, while Karina (born 2000) said she liked younger people.

Recently, Sung Hanbin sang "Bye bye my blue," which is a coincidence because Karina's Instagram name is katarinabluu.

To make things even more interesting, Sung Hanbin was seen wearing a ring that is widely linked to Karina.

The two of them did the same thing.

Other Internet users who didn't believe the story left comments below this Pann post:

What's this crazy talk?

Mandarins are eaten by everyone in the winter.

I want to clear the air: Karina, Winter, and NingNing all wrote about mandarins, but you're only interested in Karina's.

Winter, Karina, and NingNing all wrote about mandarins. Does that mean Sung Hanbin is dating all of them?

He wasn't wearing that ring all the time in any case.

These are only stage accessories that the stylists give to the stars.

Why would someone think this means they're dating?

You make no sense.

In the first place, Sung Hanbin wrote about peeling mandarins, while Karina and NingNing were just enjoying them together.

It's likely that Karina has no idea that Sung Hanbin ate a tangerine.

Second, that challenge is hot right now, and Karina's fans asked her to do it.

IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!

On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”

The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.

IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying,
“They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”

She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying,
“There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”

IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said,
“Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.”
Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”

Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop.
He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”

IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked,
“That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?”
Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”

That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed,
“There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”

Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.

Netizens reacted by saying:

• “Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
• “IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
• “Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
• “This cast is full of talent and heart.”

It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
