| Nate Pann- Gosh, it must’ve been in the script, but I can’t believe I got to hear Karina say “Wonyoung-ssi.” I love when pretty girls talk to each other while looking at one another.
 - Love seeing this combination. They’re both pretty.
 - Karina looks so innocent styled like that, and Jang Wonyoung is f*cking cutesy cute especially with those twin tails.
 - I love how they’re both pretty in different ways LOL. Their strengths are both so clear.
 - They’re both so cute. They look like Animal Crossing characters.
 
Seeing Karina and Wonyoung together was definitely a historic moment for K-Pop fans worldwide.
