One of the most popular comments congratulated Lee Jae Wook on becoming one of Korea’s top three thieves. At the time of writing, it had 3,758 likes and circulated on other social media apps.

As Karina is considered a “national treasure” in Korea, this comment is in reference to an ongoing joke that any man who dates/marries one of Korea’s “national treasures” is a thief. Lee Jae Wook has joined the famous “Korea’s Greatest 3 Thieves,” which consists of Rain and Yeon Jung Hoon, who married “national treasures” Kim Tae Hee and Han Ga In, respectively. Previously, Choi Tae Joon and Ko Woo Rim were added due to their marriages to Park Shin Hye and Yuna Kim, respectively.
Since Karina and Lee Jae Wook have only been seeing each other for a month, it’s technically too soon to add him to the official list, as the previous thieves were found guilty after marrying their now wives!
