aespa’s Karina Reveals Shocking Details About Her Intense Daily Life

aespa is facing concern from fans over their grueling comeback schedule.

The group is deep into promotions for their new single “WDA” and upcoming studio album, hitting multiple music shows. But it’s what’s happening behind the scenes that’s raising alarms.

Karina recently shared a detailed vlog revealing her intense comeback week schedule. It starts at 1 AM with a wake-up call, followed by makeup at 2 AM, and arriving at Music Core by 3 AM. Pre-recording begins at 4:30 AM, and she finishes work at 6 AM.

But the day doesn’t end there. Karina returns to the music show at 1 PM, quickly eats and naps at 2 PM, then waits for an interview and the final stage before heading home at 6 PM.

Karina’s idol life during comeback week at music shows:
1am – wake up
2am – makeup
3am – arrive at Music Core
4:30am – pre-recording start
6am – off work
1pm – back to music show
2pm – eat + quick nap
3pm – waiting for interview
4pm – waiting for ending stage
6pm…

This packed day covers over 17 hours. Fans pointed out this was actually one of the lighter days. On days with radio appearances or fan meetings after the show, Karina might not get home until 10 PM or later.

This is a day without a radio interview or fanmeet after the music show it looks like. On those days she likely doesn’t get home until closer to 10 PM, maybe later. Idol life is not easy. At least this group is making money. Imagine working like that and your group is in debt

Online reactions are full of worry. Fans are concerned about Karina’s health and frustrated that the industry’s demanding schedules haven’t changed. Some also sympathize with the staff who support idols through these long days.

Can’t even imagine the managers that have to accompany them and even the lesser known idols who have to accommodate bigger idols schedules for hair and makeup etc

Pooor baby , she and the other members must be exhausted and yet, kmys have nothing to say about this .. they were more mad about the girls having a feat song on their album and its just sad
