On September 21, KARINA held a fansign event via video call.
During the event, one fan asked KARINA why the aespa members went to the BLACKPINK concert.
On September 16 and 17, BLACKPINK held concerts at Gocheok Sky Dome in Gocheok-dong, Seoul, successfully wrapping up their yearlong world tour.
Many celebrities who are friends with the group members were spotted enjoying the concert.
However, the presence of aespa members among the crowd of pink lights was a surprise because there seemed to be no previous interaction between the two groups.
Many K-pop fans wondered why the aespa members went to see BLACKPINK's concert in Korea, especially when they just returned from their own tour around the United States.
Now, back to KARINA's video call with a fan, KARINA revealed why the aespa members went to see BLACKPINK's concert.
With a giddy voice, she explained, "It was because I became close with JISOO unnie. She reached out to me first, saying that she likes me very much."
