Analysis:
In the title, that article text contains dating news from K-Pop idols and Korean artists,
namely Karina from aespa and Lee Jae Wook, which has been confirmed by their agency.
In my opinion, this article is suitable for skimming reading, because it only requires
the process of reading general overview and skipping parts that aren’t we searched for. What
we look for in skimming reading are important points that are underlined or bolded text.
Some text is specific, such as “Agency confirms aespa’s Karina and Lee Jae Wook are
dating.” So readers tend to immediately jump to the part in bold. Simply, what you get and
read are the main points of the article.
Skimming reading is often applied to the activity of reading newspapers or this type
of articles. The advantage is that it saves time in terms of reading material. However, the
weakness of skimming when reading the article is that often the understanding of the text can
be incomplete, resulting in misperceptions.
