aespa’s Karina caught attention with her simple and confident advice for someone wondering how to confess their feelings to a longtime friend.

On August 20, ELLE Korea uploaded a video featuring Karina answering different concerns and giving casual advice.

One message came from a person who said they had developed feelings for a friend they had known for 10 years and wanted help deciding how to confess.

Karina immediately suggested being straightforward.

She acted out what she would say: “Just tell them you like them. ‘What do you think about me? I like you. Do you want to try dating?’”

After giving the confident answer, Karina briefly second-guessed herself and jokingly asked, “Or maybe not?”

She then asked the person who submitted the story to return and share what happened afterward, saying, “Please make sure to leave an update in the comments.”

The lighthearted moment showed Karina’s direct approach to romance advice, as she encouraged the fan to clearly express their feelings instead of relying on hints.

Meanwhile, Karina continues her activities as a member of aespa, whose releases include Black Mamba, Next Level, Supernova, Armageddon, Whiplash, and LEMONADE.
