My Forever Bias: The star who lights up my world with every smile, step, and song.Karina, born Yu Ji-min, is the dazzling leader of aespa, the groundbreaking K-pop girl group under SM Entertainment that debuted on November 17, 2020, with the electrifying single “Black Mamba.” From the moment she stepped into the spotlight, Karina captured my heart with her magnetic stage presence, soulful voice, and razor-sharp rap. But it’s not just her talent that makes her shine—it’s her warmth, resilience, and genuine care for her fans, MYs, that make her my ultimate inspiration. To me, Karina is more than an idol; she’s a beacon of strength, a spark of joy, and the embodiment of everything I love about music and passion.
