• aespa's Karina Shares the Surprising Reason She Eats Less During Promotions

    aespa member Karina opened up about why she avoids eating much during her busy promotion schedules.

    On the November 29 episode of tvN’s Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip, SM Entertainment artists came together to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary.

    During a break after a fun music quiz, the artists chatted casually. Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon asked Karina, "Did you eat?" Karina replied, "I haven’t eaten yet."

    Hyoyeon, concerned, said, "You’re heading straight to the shoot, right? No time to eat." She guessed about the other aespa members and said, "The others must be resting." Karina confirmed, "They’re sleeping."

    Later, EXO’s Suho asked Karina, "Do you eat well?" Karina shared, "I try not to eat much during promotion periods. I don’t like eating when I’m working."

    Hyoyeon agreed, saying, "You tend to not eat much while promoting. It feels heavy, right?" showing her understanding of Karina’s routine.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
