In the recently released episode of YouTube channel Fairy Jae-hyung, titled “You Finally Came. Youngest Guest Ever, Karina”, aespa’s Karina was welcomed as a guest into Jung Jae-hyung’s home. The video showcased the two stars’ first meeting, with Jung preparing a meal for Karina and the two exchanging thoughtful conversation and laughter.
Karina arrived with both hands full of gifts. Presenting a red shopping bag to Jung, she said, “I heard you’re interested in building a mini bar, so I prepared this.” She also gave him a separate gift for his pet dog, further endearing herself to the host.
Upon opening the box, Jung Jae-hyung was visibly touched, exclaiming, “It’s so beautiful. I actually needed a glass like this.” Karina revealed that she had chosen it deliberately to suit his taste.
The gifted item—a Baccarat champagne glass —is a piece from the renowned French luxury crystal brand. Priced at approximately ₩500,000 per glass, the elegant cup quickly gained attention from viewers, resulting in a surge of inquiries and rapid sellouts online.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically, with comments such as: “I bought four cups for ₩6,000 and was happy, but this is another level,” “She’s so thoughtful,” “How did she know that brand?” and “Everything looks more luxurious when Karina gives it.”
During the episode, Karina also addressed a past controversy involving a photo of her wearing a red jacket with the number 2 during an election season, which sparked political speculation. She explained that the photo was taken while visiting Japan with staff during cold weather and was not intended to convey any political message.
Karina said, “I posted it to connect with fans but deleted it after realizing the implications. I was ignorant at the time and felt I needed to educate myself more.” She added that the most difficult part was seeing her fellow members affected by the incident: “It was something I needed to take responsibility for, but seeing the others suffer too was really hard.”
Despite the emotional moment, Karina’s candidness and thoughtful gestures throughout the video were praised by fans, with many commending her maturity and sincerity.
