My suspicion is based on this incident:

I don't think this was just a slip on her part, but I can't be absolutely sure.
Your comment on Ningning struck me. Is she really that much of an airhead? I'm inclined to trust your judgement, but I feel disappointed in her.
I suppose I shouldn't though. After all, the life of the idol does not offer much support to the life of the mind, so I suppose I should just be appreciative of those idols like RM, Lily, and Gaeul who who do seem more interested in books and ideas.
You're a more serious fan than I am. On the whole, I find it difficult to sit through much variety/reality Kpop content. Tell me more about the aespa reality show. What else did you learn about the members?

@jemmesedi That does seem to suggest she's a supporter of the conservative party. And like conservatives here in the US of A, feels compelled to broadcast her views, despite a rather strong taboo. I still like Karina as a performer, and of course love aespa as a group. Dawn and I watched something called 'Synk Road' which is on Kocowa. The episodes are 20-25 minutes long. It was honestly a pretty clumsy reality show, but it was still entertaining.
