Karina said that SM does not allow aespa members to have Instagram accounts for fear of causing trouble (Instagram@smtown)
All aespa members have the desire to create a personal Instagram account, but this is constrained by SM Entertainment and according to Karina, SM is afraid of the members messing up.
Korean Celeb Gossip - Korean Celeb Gossip - In a recent episode of the YouTube HANBAM series about Idol Complaint Manager Hur featuring aespa as a guest.
The aespa members did not hesitate to express a number of things they complained about, one of which was the desire to create a personal Instagram account.

On their complaint account list, the request they really want to fulfill is to have a personal Instagram account, and fans are still waiting for a response from SM Entertainment.
The episode was already a hit when, immediately upon entering the room, both Karina and Winter admitted to having lots of complaints.
But the fun that ensues after all four members start registering them is something no one could have predicted.
"Complaints? lots of them," Winter said.
In addition to other feuds with the agency, Winter mentioned wanting to have a personal Instagram account.
And this recognition immediately caught MY attention and sparked curiosity about the reasons for SM's decision not to allow aespa members not to have personal Instagram.
Young Ji asks if the girls already have individual accounts, to which they respond with a resounding "No".
It later stated that aespa only had an official account, leaving them craving a more personal online presence.

The conversation continues, with Young Ji questioning why SM Entertainment doesn't allow the girls to have personal accounts.
Ningning chimed in, expressing her confusion and desire for clarity on this matter.
Young Ji: Then why don't they let you make it?
Ningning: I know? Why don't you let us build it?
Young Ji: I can't understand them either, there are routines for K-pop idols, they first made an official account, and then they made their own account in their 7th year of debut. Why is that?.

Young Ji's discussion about K-Pop idols' typical social media routines prompts aespa members to question the reasons behind SM Entertainment's hesitance.
Giselle and Karina express their desire for more freedom, highlighting the inconsistencies in the company's approach.
Karina: They think we're going to mess something up.
Giselle: But if that's the case, they should also stop us from live streaming.
Karina: We shouldn't be at the live show.

Young Ji then suggested that aespa create a private account, and offered a compromise that could reduce the worries of the members and the company.
For this, Ningning hilariously reveals that the girls already have private accounts! Ninging's revelation was met with laughter from everyone in the room.
Young Ji highlighted the challenges that arise when idols initially create their own social media accounts but then struggle to provide regular updates.
This inconsistency can lead to frustration for both fans and idols themselves.
The pressure to maintain a strong online presence becomes evident, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
Therefore, the host asked the aespa level to better maintain communication between artists.
"Is SM Entertainment watching this program? Please maintain communication between the agency and the artist. Thank you," said Young Ji.
