the karina situation
i'm not going to lie, when she first uploaded the picture and i saw the meaning behind it in korean culture, i was skeptical. we don't know the idols we stan, not fully at least, so i kept quiet to see what happened.
she deleted the picture 10 minutes after uploading it, she apologized before SM did, saying it was a misunderstanding, so why are people still hating on her? specially international people who have nothing to do with the korean politics culture?
she made a mistake, people are not perfect. i think she has shown us enough to see that she does not support the conservative party.
she has recommended a feminist book, she talked about how women in the idol industry have to work harder, she uploaded a picture with a blue scarf during the last election, and even when korean incels were throwing her hate, she didn't delete it, much less apologized.
the misinformation that is going around is crazy. ai pictures of a jacket with a 1 and blue color? fake. the rose representing the conservative party? fake, it actually represents the labour party of SK. taking clips of her and cutting them out of context so that she looks bad, and people believing it?
and of course she is not going to talk about the other party. do you guys even know what the nasty ass son of the "liberal" president candidate said about her? i hope he burns in hell too.
its crazy what people will do to hate on a woman that made a mistake, but throughout her years of being a public figure has done nothing but show love and respect.
do you know all the male idols that uploaded things in red and red hearts in the captions of ig picture during the last election, and even after getting called out on it, they didn't delete them nor apologize? probably not, cuz they're men, not women. i didn't see ANYONE talking about it. the double standards are crazy.
korean fans and korean feminists are defending her, isn't that enough to believe that she really isn't a conservative? and do not use her religion as an excuse, real catholics love people for who they are. we, who do not live is SK, cannot talk about it. really the only people making it an even bigger deal, EVEN after she apologized, are the international "fans", who finally have a reason to hate her. straight up nasty people.
she held herself accountable for her mistake. she apologized. she deleted the picture. if you don't want to stan her anymore, that's on you, but leave her alone, she just made a mistake, like all of us do. she has been through enough.
inform yourself better. be a better person. don't fall for all the fake things that you see in the internet.
