Chinese Fans Sent Truck To SM Asking aespa’s Karina To Apologize For Betraying Them
After aespa’s Karina admitted to dating actor Lee Jae-wook, fans immediately voiced criticism towards the female idol
Earlier on February 27th, Dispatch released several photos and reported that aespa’s Karina and Lee Jae-wook have been dating for a month since they attended the Milan Fashion Week in January together. Later on the same day, their agencies SM and C-Jes released official statements acknowledging the two’s romantic relationship, emphasizing that they are in the early stage of getting to know each other.
Although the two companies asked fans and the public to give warm support to the couple, many fans of Karina were very shocked and frustrated by the dating news.
In particular, her Chinese fans sent a protest truck to the office building of SM Entertainment asking the female idol to apologize for betraying fans by dating amid her heyday.
On the billboard carried by the truck, fans left various messages such as, “Karina, instead of feeling apologetic to fans, you should apologize to yourself for all the efforts you have made over the past 7 years!”, “You’ve ruined your own career by yourself. The dating news has ruined all the efforts you have made until now. Are you satisfied?”, “Karina, is fans’ love not enough for you? Why did you decide to betray fans? Please apologize. If not, we’ll let you see the album sales drop significantly and empty seats at concerts”, etc.
