While the international netizens focused on their cute friendship and bond, people from South Korea dissed the actor while referring to his past relationship with Aespa’s Karina. For those who don’t know, Lee Jae-Wook and Karina’s breakup was confirmed by Dispatch in 2024. On the Korean forum, Nate Pann, many shared their reactions against the Alchemy of Souls actor. One such netizen wrote as per Koreaboo, “Why did Lee Jae Wook date Karina though? There must’ve been plenty of other nice people out there.”
Others came to rescue and defend the star. One such fan wrote, “Seeing people still milking a dating rumor that’s over a year old, even left from mobile, really shows there must be nothing else to criticize Karina for. Seriously, every post about Karina is the same old stuff. It’s either personal attacks or dragging up dating rumors — nothing else lol.” Another one commented, “Why are all the replies so angry? There’s not even a single word criticizing Karina—it’s just a post complimenting Lee Jae Wook. They’ve already broken up anyway. When celebrities go public with relationships, they always end up being called someone’s ex throughout their careers. I get that fans might not like it, but I was surprised by the comments… It was acknowledged they broke up, so why is even a mention taken as an attack? It doesn’t seem like a big deal.”
Well, what are your opinions about it?
