Aespa's Karina Reveals Future Ambitions and Interest in Acting
Aespa's Karina wishes to go into acting
On the show 'Morning Walk', with host Jonathan, the idol got open and candid about her career and her plans in the industry.
While going to a restaurant, the host asked Karina about what she had planned so far for her future. The idol promptly and enthusiastically answered that she does not wish to have any regrets in her life, especially when she has to retire from the industry and from working itself.
She emphasised that, 'I want to try everything I can as a celebrity.
That way, I won't have any regrets when I eventually retire'. She also delved into how this has helped her confidently go on various variety shows as well. She also expressed her interest in acting as well, and shared that at one point in her career, she would like to venture into that industry as well.
Karina on her experience so far in the industry
Karina also talked about how she has been in the past 5 years in the industry. She shared that, 'I feel more comfortable when filming now.
In the past, I felt like I had to prepare stories to share just to appear on variety shows. My members and I even talked about creating episodes ourselves to be more entertaining'.
She also talked about her preference for talk shows over physical variety shows. She reasoned with the host, saying that while talk shows require you to talk to others, which is something that she loves to do, variety show MCs have a more demanding career path, according to her. She shared that they have to take the lead and direct the conversations in the show, which is not something that she has mastered yet. Jonathan then provided a quick tip to the idol about succeeding as an MC, which is to prioritise listening over speaking and talking.
