Netizens seemed angry at the post.
Lee Jae Wook and Kim Hye Yoon reunited in the recent episode of Fresh off the Sea.
A video showing the pair’s chemistry instantly went viral, with netizens loving the connection between the two and joking about how fellow actor Byeon Woo Seok would feel, after his K-Drama Lovely Runner with Hye Yoon.

While international netizens focused on the cute bond between Lee Jae Wook and Kim Hye Yoon, a post on the Korean forum Nate Pann involved aespa‘s Karina, due to their past relationship.
Screenshots from the show were shared.
Netizens shared their reactions, not understanding how Karina and Lee Jae Wook can’t seemingly have any activities without the other being brought up, but others thought it was only natural and happens with many idols and celebrities who dated. Yet, some netizens seemed angry, with negativity aimed at both Lee Jae Wook and Karina separately.
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.
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.
Why did Lee Jae Wook date Karina though? There must’ve been plenty of other nice people out there.
They were both good-looking and visually matched well.
The pair were confirmed to be dating by Dispatch in February 2024.
