Karina of aespa recently shared her diary, which she has been using since the new year. In a video on the ″GQ KOREA″ channel, she showcased her favorite items, including a beloved pair of everyday shoes. She reminisced, ″These are the first shoes I ever begged my dad to buy me. I still have those shoes at home. Even during my trainee days, I wore them exclusively for practice, so the other members know them as my favorites.″

In the same video, Karina introduced her diary for the first time, stating, ″I’m revealing a diary I’ve never shown before to celebrate the new year.″ She mentioned, ″I’ve been diligently writing in it for a short while. This diary has been my companion for three years, and I can write the dates myself, which helps me stay organized.″

When discussing her diary-keeping habits, Karina shared, ″I don’t hesitate. I just write down the most intense emotions I felt that day before bed.″ She noted, ″Today’s entry will be about my first pictorial with this styling. Since the concept is a bit bold, I don’t often get to do something this pure. I think it’s time to get to know myself a little better.″

Karina also displayed a cute pig-shaped pencil case and a charger case made from a recycled cookie container. She explained, ″I have a lot of allergies, so I carry allergy medication with me. This charger case serves a dual purpose; I keep my charger, mint candy, and a pin that I might need at any time.″ She added, ″I lost my portable battery, so I carry it with me on a cord, along with a multi-adapter for convenience.″

Additionally, she showcased a stress ball and revealed that it was a gift from her friend Ryujin of ITZY, highlighting their friendship. Karina emphasized the importance of her diary, saying, ″If I lose this, I’ll be in big trouble. There’s nothing serious in it, but it would be so embarrassing. If you happen to find a diary like this on the street, please don’t open it and send it to SM Entertainment on the first floor.″

Karina values her diary as a tool for self-reflection, using it to understand and grow as an individual. It serves as more than just a record; it helps her organize her emotions and connect with her fans.

This video provides a glimpse into Karina’s daily life and personal thoughts, revealing a new side of her to fans. Her candid approach has received positive feedback, and her diary use is likely to resonate with her audience.

Karina intends to maintain communication with her fans through various content, sharing deeper stories from her diary. Her endeavors not only enhance aespa’s music and performances but also play a significant role in her personal development and relationship-building with her fans.
