A few hours ago, K-Pop fans showed a strong reaction on social networks following the publication of SM Entertainment‘s criticized statement confirming Aespa‘s Karina and Lee Jae Wook had ended their relationship after five weeks of public dating.

Although the news was shocking for fans, due to the short time of their relationship, what caused the most reaction was the statement shared through the South Korean media, OSEN, saying, “It is true that Karina and Lee Jae Wook have broken up” the idol’s agency.

Fans seem not to agree with such a brief declaration for an important announcement as her breakup, even after her dating announcement was so controversial on social networks, as the two went viral for their sudden news revealed by the Korean media Dispatch.

Some comments were: “just shows how much sm cares for their artists… can’t even give her 2 sentences to shield her“, “it’s SM’s constant nonchalance from the confirmation down to this break-up that irks me“, among others, showing anger toward the agency posture.
