'passionate love with Lee Jae Wook' KARINA first thoughts after handwritten letter: "Thank you for waiting"

KARINA, a member of girl group ESP, has revealed her feelings after admitting her love for actor Lee Jae Wook.

Through fan communication platform Bubble, KARINA said, "I was really worried about what to say. I was very worried and it was difficult to send a message. I was very worried about whether my words would sound too light," she said.

"The time I've spent with Mai (fandom) is so precious to me that actually reading and sending this message is so precious to me and I'm so grateful," Carina continued, "Thank you so much for your kind words. Bright Jimin is back, so thank you for your patience. I'm practicing and scheduling hard. I can't wait to see you."

KARINA previously admitted to her romance with Lee Jae Wook on March 27. The two first met at a luxury brand event in January and reportedly became romantically involved.

On May 5, KARINA wrote in a handwritten letter, "First of all, I apologize for surprising you, and I'm sorry for the delay because I'm cautious about Mai, who must have been surprised. I know how disappointed they must be and how upset they must be thinking about the things we shared together. I feel even more sorry for them because I know how they feel. I hope I can make it up to them, because I've always been genuine with them, and each one of them is very important to me. If this is too short to express my feelings, I would like to thank you for reading this, and I would like to show you that I will not let you down and will be more mature and hardworking in the future. Please stay tuned."
