And nobody has a trans yet. All I'm seeing is that she says she's sorry a bunch of times. Wtf..
Translation -
Hello, this is Karina. I'm sorry for surprising and causing concern to my fans. I know many of you may have been disappointed, and I'm aware of the sadness recalling our shared moments brings. I deeply feel the regret and apologize for any hurt. I hope this letter conveys some of my feelings. I write this with the sincere intention of expressing my apologies to the fans who have given me the warmest winter since my debut. I want to mend any wounds and continue to grow with you all. Thank you for understanding, and I promise to work hard and mature without disappointing you in the future. Take care and let's meet again with a brighter image. I'm sorry and grateful
And I hope she hates u all for this
U don't deserve her kind words, like weird ass people
That's sad to make someone write an aplogy letter cause she's in love with someone, because a handful of fanatics cannot understand that idols do not belong to them & that their private lives do not concern them
The crazies made her apologize for dating. This is too much. She did nothing wrong.
Some more translations -
Wtf..
I wish she didn't.
This is just depressing. People making her feel like she had to apologize for the most normal thing ever is fucked up. I'm upset these weirdos made this happen, this is just feeding into their disturbing mentality.
Imagine having to apologize for DATING FFS
This is so unecessary I feel bad for her.
It's fucking 2024, can't believe idols dating still is considered a scandal in Korea. Something about their culture that I dont think i will ever understand
What?! Why?!!!
Crazy knetz!
Idols give more control and power to fans when they do this. If they ALL collectively stopped kowtowing to their unhinged delusional fans, them being normal ass human beings would become more normalized. Lose the crazies, it is healthier anyway for a fandom and it's best to build anew with sane fans than keep the insane ones around dictating their private lives.
war flashbacks to when suju's sungmin had to write an apology for having a wife(?), and then "fans" bullied him so hard he eventually got kicked out of the group even before kangin did, who was charged with a dui, TWICE. and then exo's chen had to write an apology too right? sm has been encouraging this kind of behaviour for years and never taken a stance to protect their idol if their profit is threatened; it was only a matter of time before karina, arguably sm's most relevant idol atm, had to be forced to do the same. not sure why anyone is surprised given sm's track record
because her chinese stans threatened to boycott. We all know how important the Chinese market is to SM.
I’m so annoyed because she shouldn’t have apologized. The fact her fanbase is mostly women is even more embarrassing.

This has nothing to with the dating scandal.
Needing to apologize for dating it's so fucking absurd. The fans who are upset about this are unhinged and should not be allowed out in polite society.
This apology letter won't make the fans go back 
she shouldn’t have done this, this will just make the fans feel more entitled. so messed up istg

I think Chen's was just an announcement that he was getting married. I don't remember him apologising.
Hmmmm.....Idol/Companies only apologies if its hitting the bottom line .... Is the Backlash so bad that she had to apologize
She shouldnt have done this idk if the company pushed her but this is just so wrong
she doesnt own her life to anyone
also I wish they would stop saying sorry because of dating all together, because if they do this everytime its never gonna end and dating is always gonna be a scandal
terrible that we are still here in 2024
I hope at least she is angry that she had to do this and she feels ZERO regret
so i hope everything she is saying a big lie lmao
I'll say this. Kpop idols and their companies want to have their cake and eat it too. They are the ones who actively promote the type of fan that idolizes and obsesses over their idols but then when things like this happen some fans act like idols and their company are completely innocent. Idols arent stupid, Karina isnt stupid. Every idol and every person involved in the idol industry knows the type of fan they cultivate and the type of fandom they encourage. I do think its wrong and its dumb for fans to have certain expectations for their idols but the blame for this happening isnt only on the fans. But also on the idols and company
she shouldn’t have done this, this will just make the fans feel more entitled. so messed up istg
I mean part of the reason fans feel entitled is due to the idols and the company themselves.
You think if you have bad handwriting, someone else writes the note?
Like I'd be f'd with my handwriting. People would stop caring about the scandal and be more concerned with how uneducated I look.
Ridiculous, she shouldn't have to apologise to those losers for anything.

Exactly! This whole mess is still happening because companies let it happen. If they stop forcing the Idols to do something they don't want, trust me, idiot "fans" would stop bitching about it, eventually.
This is absolutely DISGUSTING! This is why I said, Korea is stuck in the Middle Ages. Honestly, this is why I love groups from small companies, because most of them can ignore idiots. These entitled "fans" only care about the mainstream groups. Maybe, the BIG4 should something from them.
I mean, just think about it, what would happen if Idols start to protest and stop working. What they could do? Companies can't fire every Idol, and the so called fans would feel the pain finally. Honestly, I would do that. This is never going to stop, not in a million years. It's so weird that Idols still accept this after so many years.
so frustrating why she has to apologize for this
This has nothing to with the dating scandal.
There was another set of fans that sent trucks specifically for that and demanding an apology

are those her actual fans or akgaes of other members sending the trucks? i saw somewhere it was the latter but unsure… cuz if i’m not wrong her big china bar is still supporting her

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think it's not cause of koreans fans but more cause of chinese fans who send truck yesterday ?

I think it was other members bars but SM probably wouldn't know better
