aespa Carina appeared as the youngest guest on the Fairy Jae-hyung channel on the 6th.
When asked what her dream was, Karina replied "I have two dreams, but one is to live an easy life." He said, `I've had some issues lately, so I hope not only me but also everyone around me can live a safe life" he said.
Karina was embroiled in a controversy in May over whether she supported a particular political party by posting a photo of her wearing a red jumper with the number '2'. In particular, since the post was posted immediately after the third candidate debate for the 21st presidential election, it was interpreted as an intentional political message.
In addition, Karina's leaving rose emoticons on the post also raised controversy. Some netizens doubted the political intention of the emoticon, saying it was related to the expression 'Rose Presidential Election', and criticism continued that it revealed the political color.
As the controversy grew, Karina quickly deleted the post, but the criticism did not subside. In the end, Karina is so sorry to make you worry "My (fandom name). I didn't mean to do that at all, but I thought I should tell you directly because I was so worried about the misunderstanding"In the future, I will be more interested and act carefully. I'm sorry to have worried you once again."
The agency SM Entertainment also apologized for causing concern with the post of our artist Karina. Karina had no other purpose or intention at all, just posting everyday content on social media, and immediately deleted the post after recognizing that it was misleading. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience I caused you," he said in an official statement.

Then "I went out with the staff on a chilly day, just bought an outerwear, posted a post to communicate with the fans, and then got in touch and deleted it, and I was so ignorant of those things." And no matter how much I was abroad, it was also something I needed to know. So I thought, 'I really need to be more aware and study moreI thought, 'I...' I think it's true that I was too ignorant" he said.
"Anyway, it was right that I was talking about something, so it was something I had to deal with, but it was so hard because even the members were damaged."
Karina also said "My second dream is to live a long life as a maintenance person. Celebrity Karina is also great, but I want to live a long time as a daughter of my mom and dad as a human maintenance person. Karina is Yoo Ji-min right now, but including Karina. If Karina is a secondary character, I want to live a solid and fun life as Yoo Ji-min for a long time," he said.
