The news of Karina and Lee Jae Wook’s budding romance was first brought to light by Dispatch earlier today, an outlet known for uncovering celebrity relationships. Both stars’ agencies — C-JeS Studio and SM Entertainment — subsequently confirmed the relationship, stating that the two are “getting to know each other.” The announcement created quite the buzz, given the industry’s often private stance on idols’ dating lives.
The two stars reportedly met during Prada‘s fashion show in Milan and experienced what was described as “love at first sight.”
They had then met and gone on dates near Lee’s apartment, as revealed by a series of Dispatch candid pictures.
Daisy, who has transitioned from K-Pop idol to a social media influencer since her departure from MOMOLAND, did not hold back her feelings about the news.

In a series of tweets, the former idol shared her unfiltered thoughts on Karina’s new relationship.

The interaction continued, somehow becoming even funnier, with a fan’s playful response about their reaction to Daisy’s own dating rumors in the past, to which Daisy replied with “this has me weak”

Daisy’s openness about her feelings, albeit in a humorous and indirect manner, has shocked fans accustomed to the often reserved reactions of idols and former idols alike. However, this new side of idols (albeit former ones) is very much welcomed.
