Despite the split, the former couple remains committed to their respective careers and plans to maintain a supportive professional relationship.
Their whirlwind romance began in February after they reportedly met at a luxury brand event in Milan, Italy. They are said to have grown closer through casual encounters near their homes and in a local park.
The news of their relationship sparked controversy, leading to Karina issuing a formal apology to her fans, known as MYs. She acknowledged their disappointment and expressed her continued appreciation for their support.
Unfortunately, some fans reacted more harshly, resorting to public protests against Karina. Billboards displayed on trucks criticized her decision and threatened to decline album sales and empty concert seats.
Moving forward, both Karina and Lee Jae-Wook will focus on their pursuits, with the hope that fans will offer them continued encouragement in their careers.
