The statement conveyed remorse for the situation, apologizing to fans who were eagerly anticipating Karina’s performance and asking for their understanding and patience.
This announcement occurred within two months of Ningning, another member of aespa, also being unable to perform due to health concerns.
On June 2, Ningning was unable to perform on the “K-WAVE”stage due to experiencing symptoms of dehydration and exhaustion. As a result, she was hospitalized and advised to rest.
“We inform you regarding Ningning’s absence from the scheduled K-WAVE stage today. Ningning exhibited symptoms of dehydration and exhaustion during the rehearsal and immediately went to the hospital, where she was advised to get sufficient rest and recovery. We apologize for causing concern to fans with this sudden news and will prioritize the artist’s health and safety, doing our best to ensure Ningning’s recovery.”

In May, aespa faced a series of health issues when Winter had to cancel her appearances on Mnet’s “M Countdown,”KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank,”and MBC’s “Show! Music Core”after experiencing complications from her pneumothorax surgery.
Despite facing these challenges, Winter still took part in the group’s complete album comeback promotions.
“Winter needs rest and stabilization due to condition issues, so only Karina, Giselle and Ningning will attend the live broadcast of ‘M Countdown. Winter’s participation in activities will be decided based on her recovery status.”

The group and their fans have been worried about the ongoing health problems affecting aespa members, so Karina’s health issues are a significant blow to everyone.
The current circumstance has caused increased nervousness among the supporters of the group, who are eager for all members to resume their usual dynamic performances.
Having embarked on their overseas tour on July 26, aespa was anticipated to deliver an exhilarating performance in Osaka, Japan.
