Recently, the members of aespa sat down for an interview together.
During the interview, KARINA talked about the hardships that the members faced in their early debut days for the very first time in public.
KARINA said, “Back when it was announced that we would be making debut, and our photos were released online, we received lots of hate comments. A lot of people were really negative about our debut.”
She continued, “We were the first girl group that our agency was launching in years, that was why. Due to those negative responses, we all had a very difficult time.”
She went on, “These days, we have many fans who are supportive and loving, but it honestly wasn’t easy for us around the time when we made debut.”
