aespa’s Karina turned heads and stole the spotlight at the 2024 Melon Music Awards (MMA2024) red carpet, showcasing her elegant S-line figure and eye-catching footwear.

The star-studded event took place on November 30 at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, where Karina dazzled fans and reporters alike with her flawless look.

Dressed in a chic, all-black outfit, Karina paired an off-shoulder mini dress with sleek, sky-high heels that emphasized her slender proportions and signature silhouette.

Her dress featured intricate details that perfectly hugged her figure, while the high heels became the ultimate show-stopper of the night.

The heels, designed with a simple black strap and a secure ankle buckle, elevated her look—literally and figuratively. Estimated to be 10cm tall, they highlighted Karina’s 168cm height and her petite 230mm shoe size, adding an extra touch of charm.

Fans were quick to shower her with praise, leaving comments like, “Karina’s legs look endless in those heels!” “She truly knows how to make a statement,” and “That dress and those heels are a perfect match!”

The MMA2024 red carpet saw several other big names, including aespa, IVE, BIBI, tripleS, and TWS, all showing off their unique styles. Still, Karina’s sophisticated yet bold look left a lasting impression, proving once again why she’s a fashion icon.

Her choice of high heels wasn’t just about height—it was a testament to her grace and impeccable style, setting a new standard for red carpet fashion. Fans are already calling it one of her most unforgettable looks!

Former JYP Entertainment trainee Song Minyoung recently opened up about her emotional journey as a trainee and how her long-awaited debut was suddenly canceled.

A video titled "Idol Trainee, Working Holiday Traveler, and Teacher Go on a Trip" was uploaded to the YouTube channel GwakTube, where Song Minyoung shared her story.

In the video, GwakTube went on a two-day trip with fellow Koreans he met at a Japanese language school in Hokkaido. One of them was Song Minyoung, who previously appeared on Mnet’s 2015 survival show SIXTEEN—the program that formed TWICE. Back then, she was praised for her amazing vocal skills.

During dinner, GwakTube asked, "Do trainees have to diet a lot? I never thought I’d meet a former JYP trainee here in Japan."

Song Minyoung replied, "I never thought I’d meet GwakTube here either," before adding, "Trainees have to diet a lot. I started dieting when I was in eighth grade. I trained for six years, putting my entire middle and high school life into it."

When asked about the weight requirements, she revealed, "My standard weight was 47kg (103 lbs), but I was once told to lose more, down to 44kg (97 lbs)."

Then, she shared a heartbreaking experience: "Before TWICE debuted, there was already a group called SIXMIX, and six of us were supposed to debut. We had a set debut date, filmed a music video, and even finished recording our songs. But suddenly, everything got canceled."

She continued, "Then, out of nowhere, the company announced they would be launching SIXTEEN. So I participated, but while the others debuted, I was eliminated."

Song Minyoung admitted that the experience left a lasting impact on her: "I worked so hard to never feel ashamed in front of others. I used to believe that if I gave my all, I would succeed. But after going through this, I realized that effort alone isn’t enough. Since then, I haven't been able to put my all into anything again."

Listening to her, GwakTube shared his thoughts: "I’ve had times when I worked really hard, but things didn’t go my way, and times when I didn’t try as hard, yet things worked out. I think luck plays a big role. Hard work is important, but in the end, luck has to be on your side too."

Song Minyoung’s story is touching hearts, as many admire her perseverance despite the challenges she faced.
