On August 21, a netizen posted on the popular Korean online community “Nate Pann” titled “Mark and Karina’s Lovestagram.”

After 12 hours, this post has gathered approximately 45,000 views and countless comments, most of which criticized the netizen for making up such a groundless rumor.

“Isn’t that common? I saw a lot of pictures like that on Instagram”
“Looking at their Instagram, it seems like they have the same hair and makeup place, so of course, it can overlap because they are from the same company. Just look at the timing of the photos, please don’t put it together while there is a 20 day difference…”
“They took it to show their hair…”
