The day after the show, Yujin and Karina shared how the collaboration actually happened. Yujin is excited about the collaboration Bubblea fan communication platform, mentioning that since the collaboration stage was proposed, she wanted to ask Karina to do it with her and even convinced her contact to talk about it personally. But then she became so shy that she couldn’t even reach out her hand first.
“I’m embarrassed to share this, but
When they told me that it would be nice if I could do a collaboration phase, I wondered who I should do it with…
And then I thought about Karina it is not…
Instead of communicating it through my company, I wanted to convey my feelings directly
And so I got his number…
But suddenly I couldn’t find the courage
[crying emoji]
Since I’m extremely introverted…”
— Yujin
Little did he know that Karina also had the same idea in mind. The aespa member ended up making the first move before Yujin could.
“So I ended up being the girl who just took his number…
While I hesitated, I heard through the company that Karina sunbae he wanted to do it with me too.
I don’t know how the topic came about.
I’ll ask it is not After.
When we have some cozy time. 💋
However, I suddenly had the courage.
But it is not he contacted me first.
That was the moment it entered my treasure chest.
I won’t let her go.”
— Yujin
Karina also offered her behind-the-scenes perspective on how they brought the collaboration together.
“Yujin is pouring tea on Bubble.
This girl seems to have no idea that since she entered my treasure chest, she has appeared in my algorithm.
Cute.
If I were to spill some tea too…
I’m the one who chose the songs! The combinations were chosen by Yujin!
I was looking at the stage at Yujin’s concert and heard a pop song, and I thought, ‘Oh, this kind of song is good for her too.’
Then, just in time, I had to work with Yujin, so I eliminated a hidden assassin from my song’s treasure chest.
It was a perfect match, right?
But she’s so cute.
