“If you mess with Karina, you’re all dead,” shouted Lee Soo-jung.

Aespa member Karina uploaded and then deleted a photo on the 27th from her personal Instagram account. Lee Soo-jung, the head of the People’s Power Party’s Suwon District Committee, has defended Karina. On the 28th, Lee stated on social media service Facebook, “There’s no need to pay attention to the hypocrisy of those bullies,” and added, “The secondary harm to the victim may be severe, but let’s overcome it.” She also drew attention by adding a photo of Karina along with the tag “If you mess with Karina, you’re all doomed.”
