“There’s a story from the drama’s wrap party. I have a habit of continuing to drink when I’m drunk, and when he noticed I seemed tipsy, (Kim Wooseok) told me, ‘Stop drinking.’ I thought that was a really considerate gesture.” — Kang Na Eon
Kim Wooseok shared that he had expected Na Eon to initiate conversations, but he found himself taking the lead instead. He noted:

Netizens’ Reactions to Their Dating News
Following the release of the interview, the reactions from netizens were divided. Many fans expressed their support for the couple, suggesting that their interview may have been recorded before they began dating. However, there were also criticisms regarding their demeanor during a recent press conference after the dating news broke. Some viewers found their behavior awkward and unprofessional.
Netizens shared a range of opinions, including:
I mean, it’s none of my business if they’re dating, but at least have the decency to put on a brave face. Turning the production press conference into a joke is just not right.
What are these two even doing? lolololol
lolololololololol
They look good together.
Even if they look good together, the way they kept up appearances at the fan event without getting close to each other was just cringy. A bit of professionalism, please.’
But he’s enlisting in three days.
All of that was probably pre-recorded, so mocking them seems a bit much…
So cute, lol. They’re flirting, haha. They’re older, too—hope they date well!
It’s funny how they acted reserved at the fan event after all this. It’s unprofessional. Romance rumors before a project aren’t great for actors, especially when he’s also preparing to enlist.
Kim Wooseok is about to enlist soon, so why now of all times…?
Were they already dating by this time? Lol.
Celebrities date while still getting paid.
It’s just cute, lol. Honestly, I don’t get why people criticize attractive people dating each other. Why is it a problem they kept things professional at the fan event? It’s not like they didn’t do their job, lol. If they had flirted in public, people would’ve complained about that too.
Others defended the couple, arguing that the criticism was unwarranted and pointing out that their interview was likely pre-recorded. One comment read:
“As long as they’re not idols, whatever.”
Public Sentiment
Overall, the debate surrounding Kim Wooseok and Kang Na Eon’s relationship highlights the complexities of celebrity romance in the public eye. As Kim Wooseok is set to enlist in the military soon, fans are curious about the timing of their relationship and its impact on their careers.
