Aespa member Karina pens a handwritten letter last March 5 apologizing for her dating news with actor Lee Jae-wook.
In the letter she shared via Instagram, she shared her thoughts and apologized for disappointing her fans.

The English translation of the letter reads:
“Hello, this is Karina. First, I am sorry for surprising you so much. I (wrote this letter) so late because I know many of you were also surprised and I wanted to be cautious.
I’m well aware of how disappointed my fans must have been and how saddened they must be recalling the conversations we’ve had together. I feel deeply sorry because I understand those feelings all too well myself.
With the hope that some of these feelings can be conveyed, I decided to write this letter. Despite my concerns about causing further hurt, I write this because I wanted to convey my heartfelt apologies to the fans who have given me the warmest winter from the moment of my debut.
I want to make up for any hurt MYs (aespa’s fandom) have experienced. I have always been sincere to MYs and you continue to be precious individuals to me.
Thank you for reading this letter, which can be too short to convey my feelings. I want to assure I will not disappoint you in the future and continue to show a more mature and diligent side. Please keep watching.
Please take care of yourselves and don’t miss meals, MYs. I’m sorry and thank you so much.”
Karina and Lee Jae-wook’s relationship was confirmed by both their agencies via Dispatch last February 27 and requesting privacy.
“The two actors are currently in the process of getting to know each other. As this concerns the actor’s personal life, we kindly request that you regard it with warmth and respect while he continues his filming commitments,” said the agency.
