Fans continue to worry about the health of aespa's Karina.
On July 30 KST, SM Entertainment announced through aespa's official channels that Karina would be unable to attend the Fukuoka performance. Aespa is scheduled to perform on the 30th and 31st as part of the '2024 aespa LIVE TOUR-SYNK: PARALLEL LINE - in JAPAN' concert.
Regarding Karina's absence, the agency explained, "Following medical advice that she needs rest and recovery as she has not fully regained her condition, we have decided after lengthy discussions that it is inevitable for her to miss the Fukuoka performance. We ask for your understanding."
Previously, Karina also missed the Osaka performance held on July 28 KST. While she participated in the concert on July 27 KST, she was unable to perform on July 28 KST due to sudden health issues.
At that time, the agency announced, "Karina, after rehearsal and following a doctor's diagnosis, will not participate in today's performance due to health reasons," causing concern among fans.
On July 29 KST, Karina reassured fans through a communication channel, saying, "I am focusing on complete rest and quick recovery. I will return in good condition as soon as possible. This is the first time something like this has happened since my debut, and it really surprised me." However, the announcement of her absence from the performances on the 30th and 31st has once again raised concerns among fans.
Meanwhile, aespa continues their '2024 aespa LIVE TOUR-SYNK: PARALLEL LINE' concerts. Due to Karina's absence, the Fukuoka performances on the 30th and 31st will feature only three members: Giselle, Winter, and Ningning.
