Below are some comments from netizens:
- It’s fortunate that Karina’s partner is not a male idol with many extreme fans.
- They suit each other well
- Since she’s not dating idols like BTS and SEVENTEEN, everyone is congratulating them.. It’s roughly similar to the case of Joy and Crush
- I’m glad it’s an actor. The reactions wouldn’t be good if Karina is dating a male idol
- They have serious;y good chemistry together
