Singer Karina has addressed the recent controversy related to potential political connotations in one of her social media posts. On May 28th KST, she posted a message on the fan communication platform Bubble to address concerns that she might be showing support for a particular political party.

In her message, Karina expressed regret for causing worry among her fans and clarified that it was never her intention to create confusion. She acknowledged the growing misunderstanding and worries among her fans, promising to be more careful and considerate in the future. Despite her apology, the controversy has not died down.

Consequently, online debates continue to be intense, with some people feeling disappointed about the handling of the situation.
