Karina faced controversy after posting photos on May 27, taken in Japan, with a rose emoji. In the pictures, she wore a red jacket with the number 2, which some interpreted as political symbolism during South Korea’s election period. Red is associated with the People Power Party, and “2” was candidate Kim Moon-soo’s ballot number. The rose emoji also reminded some of past election themes. Karina deleted the post within an hour and later apologized to fans, saying it was unintentional and she would be more cautious in the future. #karina #karinaaespa #aespa
