Introduction

In a surprising turn of events, it has been confirmed that former X1 member Kim Wooseok and rising actress Kang Na Eon are indeed dating. The couple reportedly grew closer while filming the K-Drama "Social Savvy Class 101," and their relationship has now captured the attention of fans and netizens alike.

First Impressions

On October 31, Allure Korea released a revealing video featuring the couple. During the interview, they shared their first impressions of each other. Kang Na Eon admitted that while she initially found Kim Wooseok to be cold, she quickly discovered his warm and thoughtful nature. She recounted a touching instance from the drama’s wrap party, where Wooseok advised her to stop drinking when he noticed she was tipsy, showcasing his considerate side.

Conversely, Kim Wooseok shared that he believed Kang Na Eon would be the one to initiate conversation because of her charm (or "aegyo"), but he ended up taking the lead in their interactions. “Both my first and current impressions of her are great,” he remarked, emphasizing his fondness for her.

Controversy Surrounding the Revelation

However, the couple's revelation has not gone without controversy. When clips from the video were shared online, reactions from netizens were mixed, with many defending the couple while others criticized the timing of the revelation. Some viewers pointed out their somewhat "awkward" demeanor during a recent press conference following the dating news, raising questions about the authenticity of their closeness.

One user commented, "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." Others echoed this sentiment, expressing concerns that the romance rumors could jeopardize their professional image, especially with Wooseok's upcoming military enlistment.

Critics were split in their responses, with some insisting that the couple should have maintained more professionalism. "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," one user noted, while others took a more supportive stance, expressing that the two looked cute together and should enjoy their relationship.

Public Reactions and Conclusion

As the debate continues online, the question remains: did their relationship blossom before or during filming? While some argue that the relationship could impact their careers, others celebrate the budding romance between these two attractive individuals, suggesting that celebrities indeed deserve happiness too.

As Kim Wooseok prepares for his upcoming enlistment in the military, fans are left watching this developing story with mixed feelings, some rooting for their success both romantically and professionally.
