aespa member Karina clarified SM Entertainment's "military-style" photo.
On the 9th episode of the web variety show BapSaHyo 2, released on YouTube on the 10th, Karina appeared as a guest.
Karina was very excited and nervous about meeting Girls' Generation member Hyoyeon, a direct senior at aespa's agency SM Entertainment and a longtime fan. She even confessed, "I'm usually very playful and talkative. But I like the (Girls' Generation) unnies so much that it really feels like I'm at a fan signing right now."
Karina and Hyoyeon are senior and junior at SM Entertainment and also worked together through the project group Got the Beat. Got the Beat, which included BoA, Girls' Generation Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet Seulgi and Wendy, and aespa Karina and Winter, was a project girl group that received great love.
However, for aespa it was the situation of having to form a team with major seniors in just their second year after debut. In response, Karina admitted, "I was very intimidated," and "I kept feeling like I was hitting my limits." She emphasized that she repeatedly watched the practice room videos she filmed with the unnies, saying, "I kept watching the practice room videos I took with the unnies," and learned and grew by repeatedly watching them for her own collection.
The nervousness of Karina and Winter was also revealed through the so-called "SM military-style" photo. In Got the Beat's practice room, Taeyeon and Hyoyeon were comfortably leaning on the sofa while Seulgi and Wendy sat upright, and Karina and Winter were sitting on the floor, which amused fans.
Hyoyeon laughed, "Because of that photo we heard a lot of comments like 'Are you disciplining the kids?'" and Karina explained, "They were my dream unnies, so I didn't want to sit. I also don't sit much when I'm with my members," which added to the laughter.
