For Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol, matters were even more complicated as the first rumors of the relationship were denied. Hyeri, Ryu Jun Yeol’s ex-girlfriend, then seemingly reacted to the news, prompting Han So Hee to respond with an Instagram story which the actress herself later called “pathetic.” Han So Hee eventually admitted to the relationship.

The caption is taken to imply that while Karina, Hyeri, and Han So Hee are pretty, they’ve picked partners, Lee Jae Wook and Ryu Jun Yeol, who are unattractive.

Many netizens defended Lee Jae Wook, while some continued to put Ryu Jun Yeol down.

• “Lee Jae Wook looks so much better……Ryu Jun Yeol looks like this cow.”
• “Lee is handsome, though…”
• “Karina’s Lee looks fine, but wtf is up with Ryu Jun Yeol?”
• “Lee is handsome!!”

Others pointed out the inappropriateness of the post; however, those comments were few and far between compared to the ones that have continued to disrespect the actors.

• “Those who judge a book by its cover have lost their intelligence.”
• “But why do you care about whether they’re handsome or not? Maybe the girls don’t care about appearances.”
• “You really didn’t have to put it this way.”

While dating is usually a personal choice between the involved parties, it seems like outsiders will continue to comment on these two relationships for weeks and months to come.
