aespa's KARINA welcomed the New Year by conveying warm feelings with gifts she prepared directly for the staff. Today (20th), according to the street casual brand "MLB," KARINA recently delivered New Year gifts to about 70 people, including staff from her agency SM Entertainment, stylists, hair and makeup artists, security teams, and performance management teams who worked together on-site. The gifts were winter outerwear, considering the ongoing cold wave, and included handwritten letters expressing her gratitude. This choice adds significance, especially considering the working environment of the staff, who often work outdoors or in transit where the perceived temperature drops significantly. According to those involved, this gift was not just a simple New Year greeting; it was revealed that KARINA took charge of the preparation process herself. Known for her thoughtful consideration of those she works with both on and off stage, this gift was received as a quiet yet clear expression of gratitude. The outerwear delivered this time is a long padding from "MLB," where KARINA is currently active as an ambassador, valued at approximately 379,000 won (about 37,000 yen) based on official online mall standards. Since being officially announced as an ambassador for "MLB" last May, she has continued to create synergy with the brand through various campaigns, including collaborative projects and offline events.
