Couple Kim Wooseok And Kim Na Eon’s Recent Interview Following Dating News Triggers Heated Debate

It was recently revealed that former X1 member Kim Woo Seok and rising actress Kang Na Eon are dating after they got close following filming K-Drama Social Savvy Class 101.

On October 31, Allure Korea released a video with Kim Wooseok and Kang Na Eon.

During the video, the duo revealed their first impressions of each other.

Kang Na Eon shared that while Wooseok seemed cold at first, they got closer during filming, and as she saw his warm side, she realized he was very thoughtful. She even shared a story about her co-star.

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 Woo Seok explained that he thought Na Eon would have a lot of aegyo and start conversations first, but he initiated them first. He added, “Both my first and current impressions of her are great.”

When the video and clip of their first impressions of each other were shared on theqoo, netizens had very mixed reactions.

Although some supported the duo’s relationship (with many adding that it could’ve been recorded before they got together), many hit back at the pair. In particular, after their “awkward” behavior at the press conference, after the news was revealed, they thought the closeness in the video seemed wrong. Some even said it was “unprofessional”

• 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.
• As long as they’re not idols, whatever.
• 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.
