Recently, female idol singer Karina of aespa group appeared on the online entertainment program " Morning Walk", hosted by TV host Jonathan.
During the conversation, Jonathan asked Karina about her future plans. Karina replied, "I want to try many things as a celebrity. That way, I will not have to regret retirement. That is the reason why I participate in variety shows and want to try my hand at acting in the future.
When asked about her experience after 5 years in the industry, Karina shared about her changes.
She said: "I feel more comfortable while filming now. Before, I even talked to the members about whether we had to fabricate stories to appear on variety shows.
Karina confessed that she prefers talk shows to variety shows: "I always like chatting. But being an MC seems difficult because you have to take the initiative to lead the conversation.
Jonathan advises Karina, to become a good MC, you need to listen more than speak. He also encouraged Karina, expressing his belief that she would do well as a host in the future.
However, Karina's desire to become an actress has caused controversy in the Korean online community, with a post attracting more than 80,000 views and nearly 1,000 comments.
In particular, many netizens think that Karina does not have the qualities to become an actress and that the female idol herself is said to have performed poorly in the MVs of the group aespa.
She doesnt have the face of an actress, She cant even act in the groups music videos, She doesnt have the ability to act at all - some comments objected.
In fact, Karina tried her hand at acting through a promotional film "My Arti Film" by Mnet, for her solo song "Up". In the film, she plays a black- movie-style "girl crush" character with actor Lee Dong Hwi.
Another viewer analyzed that there are many idol singers who also want to enter acting like Karina, because the career of Kpop idols is not as sustainable as acting. To build a long-term position and position in the industry, many idols have developed in parallel with singing and acting.
Many singers have been recognized and have had an impressive acting career after many years of trying such as IU, Suzy, Im Si Wan, Lee Jun Ho, Park Hyung Sik, Taecyeon...
However, idols performing are still prejudiced against the audience, as many idols pursue an acting career despite limited acting. This is worrying that it will lead to an imbalance and idols will "take" the opportunities of real actors.
Cha Eun Woo ( Astro), Jisoo (Blackpink) are idols who have a large fan base, but are constantly criticized for their acting when playing the main roles.
