Lee Jae-wook and Karina’s agencies have both confirmed the two’s relationship, which was reported in a Dispatch article on the same day.
On February 27, Dispatch published an article claiming that aespa’s Karina and Lee Jae-wook are in a relationship. According to the news site, the two “fell in love at first sight” after meeting at a Prada fashion show and would take time between their schedules to see each other.
Responding to Dispatch’s article, Karina and Lee Jae-wook’s agencies initially issued statements that they are “looking into the matter”.
However, C-JeS, the agency of Lee Jae-wook, has released a new statement confirming the dating news.
In particular, an official from C-JeS told Newsen, “The two are now getting to know each other, and since the actor is in the middle of filming and it is his private life, we ask you to treat him with warm eyes and respect.”
Meanwhile, Karina’s agency, SM Entertainment, has also confirmed the relationship in a later report.
It is known that Lee Jae-wook will appear on Disney+’s “The Impossible Heir” on February 28, while Karina, along with aespa, will embark on their 2nd world tour starting in June this year.
