Aespa's Karina shared a unique story from her experiences in America, bringing laughter to everyone.
On the 25th, a video titled 'Why Did Aespa Karina Burst into Laughter While Doing Makeup? Karina's ASMR Has Emotion by W Korea' was released on the YouTube channel 'W KOREA'. In this content, conducted in a makeup ASMR format, Karina candidly shared fan episodes she experienced during her overseas schedule.
Karina recalled, "When I went to the U.S. schedule, I visited Universal Studios. Even though I was wearing our concert merchandise, they couldn't recognize me." She continued, "At first, it was awkward to say 'Do you know me?' so I couldn't greet them, but then I coincidentally ran into them again in line for another ride," adding, "At that time, I mustered up the courage to say hello, and the fan was surprised and happy to see me," which added warmth to the story.
There was also a somewhat 'funny yet sad' moment on the streets of LA. Karina said, "Recently, I went to a store to buy cosmetics in LA, and a woman kept complimenting me, saying I was beautiful," and then she suddenly asked, 'Do you have Instagram?' with a laugh. She said, "I was momentarily flustered and just laughed it off. I couldn't tell her. For no reason..." adding that her embarrassed yet cute reaction made the scene burst into laughter.
Although it was a short anecdote, it revealed the free atmosphere in America where people don't easily recognize someone even when they're wearing concert merchandise, and at the same time, it showed that Karina's visuals were noticeable enough for someone to approach her and ask for her social media account. Fans expressed various reactions in the comments, saying things like, "That person who ran into Karina on the street probably still doesn't know it," "The story of asking for Instagram is like a comic," and "If you run into someone wearing concert merchandise twice, it's fate, I'm jealous," enjoying the moment.
