Karina directly addressed the suspicion of 'political inclination.'
On the 28th, Karina sent a message through the fan communication platform Bubble, saying, "My (fan club name), I'm really sorry for making you worry. I had no such intention at all, but as the misunderstanding continues to grow and you are worried a lot, I thought it would be necessary to talk directly."
She added, "From now on, I will pay more attention and act more cautiously. I apologize once again for causing worry."
Recently, aespa member Karina became embroiled in an unexpected political controversy over a candid photo taken in Japan.
In a photo released on the 27th, Karina wore a jumper printed with the red number '2' along with a rose flower emoji, which led some to raise suspicions of support for a specific political party.
As the controversy grew, Karina deleted the photo, but even a Spokesperson for the People Power Party mentioned 'aespa shout-out' on social media, further escalating the situation.
Ultimately, Karina attracted attention by directly addressing the issue with an explanation and apology.
