Amidst the admission of the romantic relationship between aespa’s Karina and actor Lee Jae-wook, a Japanese variety show that aespa appeared on last month is being re-examined
On Feb 27th, a post titled “Japanese variety show that predicted Karina’s love life this year” was uploaded on an online community, catching the attention of netizens.
The mentioned variety show was Fuji TV’s “K-pop House”, which aired on Jan 18th (local time), featuring aespa as guests.
During the show, aespa had a segment where they read their fortunes for the year 2024 using “omikuji”.
Omikuji are random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples in Japan.
At that time, the paper that Karina pulled out had “Auspicious” written on it.
Upon seeing this, Ningning expressed envy “Oh, that’s a nice one” and interpreted the paper as “good in work and sincere in love“, reading the fortune for Karina.
In response to the interpretation of “sincere in love“, Karina joked “Manager, sorry“, which brought laughter.
Following the confirmation of Karina and Lee Jae-wook’s relationship, this variety show is being mentioned again.
Meanwhile, on the morning of Feb 27th, Dispatch reported that Karina and Lee Jae-wook are dating after meeting in Milan, Italy while working as ambassadors for a luxury brand.
Subsequently, both agencies confirmed the relationship, stating, “They are getting to know each other.”
