Although she knows that Karina may face continued criticism, she still sincerely apologizes to those who have supported her since the very beginning. She said that they are very precious to her and promised to be more mature, trying to work hard so as not to disappoint the public.
Previously, on February 27, rumors of Karina and Lee Jae Wook dating were confirmed by Dispatch , causing the Korean showbiz community to riot. Immediately after, Chinese fans organized trucks to protest in front of SM Entertainment's headquarters.
On the protest car, there was a message: "Instead of feeling sorry for the fans, Karina should feel sorry for herself for the efforts of the past 7 years. She destroyed her own path, defeated all the efforts. Are you satisfied?".
What's worse, investors blamed Karina's relationship for causing SM's stock price to drop by 67 billion won (about 50 million USD). The controversy surrounding this relationship shows no signs of stopping.
Previously, when rumors about the relationship between Karina and Lee Jae Wook became a hot topic, it received mixed opinions. Besides the congratulations, some fans expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment. Some fans even decided to cancel their subscription to Karina's Bubble package, a paid fan app to chat privately with their idols.
This person thinks that Karina's dating is too early for a Gen 4 female idol who has only been active for 3 years, not only can it affect Karina's personal image but also can affect the entire aespa group.
"Even though she's the leader and the center, she wasn't careful. It's only been 3 years and 3 months since her debut... Surely some of Karina's fans will leave and it seems like Winter will take the center position more often," a fan who unsubscribed from Karina's Bubble account shared.
Other viewers also shared the opinion that it is unreasonable for K-pop idols to date while still wanting to maintain their popularity and large fan base. "If they want to be free to do whatever they want, they should become real artists instead of K-pop idols," one viewer expressed.
