Karina, a member of the popular K-pop girl group aespa, recently opened up about her innermost thoughts in a new interview.

In a video released on Japan's internet broadcast AbeMaTV on May 5th, behind-the-scenes stories from aespa's first solo concert tour, 'SYNK: HYPER LINE', were shared.

During the interview, the production team asked Karina what makes aespa charming. Without hesitation, she replied, "Fearlessness? I don't think we're intimidated wherever we go." She further shared that despite feeling intimidated during her debut, she never felt intimidated on stage, which she thinks is what moved the fans.

Fans who saw the interview expressed their concern for Karina, who had a difficult time dealing with malicious rumors during her debut. When Karina's debut teaser photo was released in 2020, various unfounded rumors spread on online communities.

BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
