On April 19, a topic titled “Why does it seem like Karina benefited from her dating news?” sparked a conversation on the Korean forum Instiz. The discussion centered around Aespa’s Karina and she reported an increase in popularity following the confirmation of her relationship with Lee Jae-wook, along with alleged advertisement deals.
The author suggested that Karina’s dating news led to benefits such as heightened popularity and advertisements. However, defending netizens challenged these claims, emphasizing that Karina faced significant challenges and losses as a result of the dating news. They pointed out that Karina’s pre-existing popularity likely contributed to any advertisement deals, unrelated to her dating status.

Some netizens expressed disbelief at the notion of Karina benefiting from the situation, highlighting the criticism she received and the public nature of her dating history. They emphasized that any perceived benefits were overshadowed by the challenges and negative consequences Karina endured, including writing an apology letter and experiencing a short-lived relationship.
The comments reflect a sentiment of support for Karina and refute claims of her benefiting from the dating news, emphasizing the complexities and challenges she faced during that period.
