aespa’s Karina is capturing hearts not just for her acting, but for her personality off-camera.

On December 15, the “Dolphiners” YouTube channel released the first part of Shin Woo Seok’s Urban Fairy Tale, featuring a star-studded cast including Karina, Jang Wonyoung, and Byeon Woo Seok. In the video, Karina plays a nun raising an abandoned baby.

While her on-screen performance was calm, behind-the-scenes footage revealed a hilarious contrast: Karina was visibly flustered and panicking while trying to carry the baby on her back for the first time, causing laughter on set.

However, the baby’s mother later took to social media to share a touching story. She revealed that despite the freezing weather, Karina constantly checked on the child and even gave him her own hand warmers. The mother noted that filming took place on her son’s birthday, calling the experience with the kind-hearted star “the best birthday present” he could have received.
