Karina, a member of the popular K-pop girl group aespa, shared insights into the members' eating habits, suggesting they are not as rigorously managed as commonly believed. During an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen Night,' host Na Young-seok asked the group about their current favorite foods.

Winter immediately responded with 'Mala Xiang Guo,' a popular spicy Sichuan dish. Na Young-seok expressed surprise, questioning whether such choices are managed to maintain their figures during promotions. Karina candidly admitted, "We don't really manage ourselves as much as you might think." Winter nodded in agreement while eating dessert, drawing laughter from the group.

We don't really manage ourselves as much as you might think.

In contrast to the others, Ningning shared that she primarily consumes healthy foods, including green juice daily. She explained that while she used to enjoy spicy foods, they made her too sleepy to perform her scheduled activities effectively. Karina humorously added that Ningning would often say, "I'm going to sleep now," and immediately doze off. The conversation also touched on Giselle offering Na Young-seok a 'mala-flavored jjondegi' (a type of snack), which led to more laughter.

I'm going to sleep now.
