Netizens had very different reactions.
It was recently revealed that the former X1 member Kim Woo Seok and emerging actress Kang Na Eon they are dating after getting closer after filming K-Drama Social Intelligence Class 101.
On October 31st, Seduce Korea posted a video with Kim Wooseok and Kang Na Eon.
During the video, the two revealed their first impressions of each other.
Kang Na Eon said that although Wooseok seemed cold at first, they became closer during filming, and when she saw his warm side, she realized that he was very caring. He also shared a story about his co-star.
There is a story from the drama’s closing party. I have a habit of continuing to drink when I’m drunk, and when he noticed that I looked tipsy, (Kim Wooseok) told me, ‘Stop drinking.’ I thought it was a really thoughtful gesture.
— Kang Na Eon
Kim Woo Seok explained that he thought Na Eon would have a lot of aegyo and start conversations first, but he started them first. He added, “Both my first and current impressions of her are amazing.”
When the video and clip of their first impressions of each other were shared ilqoo, Netizens had very mixed reactions.
While some supported the duo’s relationship (and many added that it could have been taped before they got together), many responded to the couple. In particular, after their “embarrassing” behavior at the press conference, after the news was disclosed, they felt that the proximity in the video seemed wrong. Some even said it was “unprofessional”
- I mean, it’s none of my business if they date, but at least have the decency to put on a brave face. Turning the production press conference into a joke is not right.
- What are these two doing? lololololo
- lolololololololo
- They look good together.
- Even though they are good together, the way they maintained fan event appearances without getting close to each other was just awkward. A little professionalism, please.”
- But he’ll sign up in three days.
- This was probably all pre-recorded, so making fun of them seems a bit excessive…
- So cute, lol. They’re flirting, haha. They are older too – I hope they go out well together!
- It’s funny how reserved they acted at the fan event after all this. It’s not professional. Rumors of a romance before a project aren’t great for the actors, especially when he’s also preparing to enlist.
- As long as they’re not idols, whatever.
- Kim Wooseok is about to enlist soon, so why now…?
- Were they already dating at this time? Lol.
- Celebrities date while still getting paid.
- It’s just cute, lol. Honestly, I don’t understand why people criticize attractive people who hang out with each other. Why is it a problem that they kept things professional at the fan event? It’s not that they didn’t do their job, lol. If they had flirted in public, people would have complained about that too.
