Q. Whoโs the person that quietly gives you reliable words when youโre having a hard time?
KARINA: Oh~ for this one, I think itโs Giselle. We recently talked about aespa while preparing for the 2nd full album. I asked her, โhow can we be both healthy and happy while promoting as aespa?โ we talked about this topic really deeply. That time was really good for me.
Q. What does โbeing myselfโ mean to Karina?
KARINA: For me! I think itโs being honest. May it be through my actions or words, or how Iโm seen, I think that Iโm a very honest person. But to be honest, I think I wasnโt like that in the beginning. I used to think that I should present โKARINAโ in a KARINA-like way a lot. As I did that, I thought itโd create a disconnect from Yu Jimin, so as I was looking for the middle ground, I realized that being honest is the answer.
