The two attended the Prada FW24 Menswear Show in Milan, Italy in January. 

From Milan, the two continued their connection in Seoul. While they were busy with performances and dramas, Karina and Lee Jae-wook enjoyed dating whenever they could, the Dispatch report stated. 

"Perhaps it's true that it was love at first sight. They fell in love from the moment they first met at a fashion show," a close associate of the two told “Dispatch,” referring to the Prada fashion show. 

It added that Karina is usually seen in Lee Jae-wook's neighborhood. 

Lee Jae-wook’s agency told Korean media that it is verifying the report.
