Lee Jae-wook and Karina, the newly confirmed couple, recently surprised fans with an interesting similarity – their response to playful teasing. The revelation came during Lee Jae-wook’s appearance on episode 30 of “Salon Drip 2,” just hours before their relationship announcement.

The episode, titled “Congratulations on the two of you being handsome,” featured Lee Jae-wook and his co-star Lee Jun-young from the upcoming Disney+ series “Royal Roader.” During the show, MC Jang Do-yeon playfully teased Lee Jun-young for being quick to change clothes on set. When Lee Jae-wook tried to interject, he found himself struggling to continue his sentence, prompting Jang Do-yeon to ask if he found the teasing “mean.”

In a surprising turn of events, Lee Jae-wook responded by saying, “It’s so good,” and then added, “Please tease me a little.” While he quickly retracted his statement with a “No,” the exchange caught the attention of viewers, especially those familiar with Karina’s previous appearance on the show.

Earlier in February, Karina had graced “Salon Drip 2” as a guest. During her appearance, she expressed her admiration for the show, stating she had been a fan since its first season. Jang Do-yeon playfully poked fun at Karina’s busy schedule, asking, “Aren’t you the leader of Aespa, who is commanding the whole world? I heard you looked at our shabby ‘Salon Drip.’”

Karina, unfazed by the teasing, responded with joy, “I’m so happy. I like things like this. Please treat me like this. Please treat me like this.”

The near-identical responses to playful teasing from both Lee Jae-wook and Karina has sparked curiosity among netizens. Some speculate that it might be a hint of a shared love language, while others simply see it as a coincidence.

Meanwhile, on the same day as the “Salon Drip 2” episode, dating rumors surrounding Lee Jae-wook and Karina emerged. Their respective agencies quickly confirmed the relationship, stating that the couple is currently in the early stages of getting to know each other.

Reports suggest that the two met at Milan Fashion Week and their connection blossomed into a romantic relationship. Despite busy schedules, they managed to meet up in Lee Jae-wook’s neighborhood and their bond grew stronger.

Lee Jae-wook, who rose to fame through his roles in dramas like “Memories of the Alhambra” and “True Beauty,” is gearing up for the release of his new series “Royal Roader.” Karina, on the other hand, is a leading member of the popular K-pop group aespa, known for hit songs like “Black Mamba” and “Next Level.” The group is currently preparing for their second world tour, scheduled for June.

Whether the “please harass me” moment is a mere coincidence or a glimpse into their shared love language, one thing is certain – Lee Jae-wook and Karina’s budding romance has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
