The internet's buzzing with the latest dating news that dropped courtesy of South Korean celebrity news outlet, <a href="https://www.dipe.co.kr/2282895" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dispatch</a>. The latter published an article today revealing that Karina of Aespa and South Korean actor, Lee Jae-wook are currently dating. The rumors were later confirmed by the stars' respective talent agencies as well as other news outlets, with SM Entertainment (representing Aespa) stating, "The two are now at the stage of getting to know each other."

The Dispatch report stated that the two had met there for the first time and were able to spend time both in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/mfw-all-the-best-looks-from-the-runways" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milan</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-cruise-2024-collection-seoul-south-korea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seoul</a>, despite their demanding schedules. The report also included paparazzi photos of Lee Jae-wook and Karina meeting up at night near his residence for lowkey dates.
Karina has been busy with her Aespa activities as she's currently gearing up for their Synk: Parallel Line Tour, which kicks off on June 29. Meanwhile, Jae-wook has also been busy with filming and is currently on a press campaign for his latest show, The Impossible Heir.

It's unusual for rumors like this to be confirmed so quickly and casually by the stars' representatives. The news garnered mixed reactions from netizens though most were happy for the new celebrity couple, with some commenting that they made a good-looking couple. This hints at a subtle movement in Korean celebrity culture where stars and idols are unafraid of being their authentic selves, regardless of public scrutiny. We just can't think of a more stylish matchmaker than <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/prada-fall-winter-2024-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prada</a>. Here's wishing the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-time-lisa-bonet-zoe-kravitz-have-coordinated-matched-outfits-red-carpet-channing-tatum-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stylish duo</a> the best.
