Singer JK Kim Dong-uk Mentions aespa's KARINA Amid Political Controversy

Singer JK Kim Dong-uk recently mentioned his junior, aespa's KARINA.

On October 31, JK Kim Dong-uk shared a photo of Kim Moon-soo's campaign vehicle on his social media, writing, "There's a commotion everywhere about uncles protecting KARINA, and citizens are tirelessly protecting Kim Moon-soo."

He continued, "Let's deliver a strong message to the nation with charisma. I will be the last bastion of conservatism. As the leader of this country's free democracy, no one will be able to hurt the hearts of the people without stepping over me."

Previously, KARINA found herself embroiled in a political controversy after posting a photo on her personal account wearing a red windbreaker with a red rose emoji and the number 2, which some interpreted as a political statement. She later deleted the post.

In response, KARINA and her agency, SM Entertainment, quickly clarified that there was no political intent behind the post.
