The news of actor Lee Jae Wook and aespa's Karina allegedly being in a romantic relationship has sparked discussions among Korean netizens.
'Dispatch' first reported on the relationship, sharing photos of the two at their first meeting in Milan and subsequent meetings in Seoul.
According to a source close to both individuals, their connection was described as immediate and profound, with the suggestion that it may have been love at first sight.
Karina, who currently resides in a dormitory, reportedly meets with Lee Jae Wook in his local area.
Sightings of him taking leisurely strolls in an unoccupied residential park, particularly during late hours, have been reported.
The sudden news has prompted Korean netizens to share their thoughts on various online community platforms.
"They really suit each other well."
"Why would they expose something that's only been a month."
"They probably haven't even been able to see each other much yet, are you reporting this so they'll break up?"
"So envious. They look good together."
"Just leave them alone...what do you gain by exposing something like this."
"Wow, I guess there are people who actually meet at those events and start dating."
"Karina will probably get a lot of backlash."
"Wow. Are we going to get a couples Prada campaign? haha."
"It's scary how they were taking photos of them on the street at night."
"Look at how they purposefully didn't release a shot of the two of them together...they might be waiting to release it if they deny it."
"Leave them alone in the beginning stages T_T"
"They look good, I hope they're happy together."
"If it's only been a month, it's still in the beginning stages. I feel bad for them."
"Wow, they really do all still date even with how busy they are."
"Ugh, Dispatch. If it's Milan, then it was only just last month."
