Karina, a member of the popular K-pop group aespa, recently shared her candid thoughts on work during a guest appearance on the YouTube channel 'Charingeon Jjuijjuldo Eopjiman.'

During the interview with MC Lee Young-ji, Karina was asked about her preference in working with individuals who excel in their job but have a bad personality versus those who may not perform as well but possess a good personality.

Without hesitation, Karina promptly responded, "I would definitely choose someone who is good at their job. Definitely."

Further probing the topic, Lee Young-ji posed a hypothetical scenario involving hair, makeup, or styling staff who demonstrate exceptional skills but exhibit a negative demeanor.

Lee Young-ji asked, "But what if they are really good at their job, like in Hemeko, but every time they pass by, they kick your shins? How would you handle that?"

Karina, maintaining her cheerful disposition, amusingly replied, "I would still work with such a person. I would carry a metal container on my shin and go along with it."

Karina reiterated her stance, emphasizing the importance of competence in one's job. She stated, "But you still have to be good at your job. Even if they are like a devil, as long as they do their job well, I will take care of them."

Following Karina's remarks, her perspective resonated with many individuals who agreed that competence in one's profession holds significant value.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
