Below is the contents of KARINA's handwritten letter.

Hello, it's KARINA.

First of all, I am sorry for surprising you so much. Also, it's late because I am cautious about MYs who would have been very surprised.

I know how disappointed MYs who have supported me so far must be, and I know how heartbroken they are when they remember the stories we shared together. I feel even more sorry for them because I know how they feel.

I am writing to you in the hope that I can convey these feelings to you.

The reason I am writing this letter, overcoming my worries that I might hurt you again, is because I wanted to express my sincere apologies to the fans who have given us a warm winter from the moment of our debut.

I want to make up for the hurt that MYs have caused me in the future, I always meant it to MYs and they are still really important to me, each and every one of them.

Thank you for reading this, even though it is too short to express all my feelings. From now on, I want to show MYs that I will not disappoint them and that I will be more mature and enthusiastic in my activities. Please watch over us.

MYs, let's eat properly and see each other in good shape. I'm sorry. And thank you very much.
