Half a year later, the topic was brought up on SBS News’ MMTG. Host JaeJae asked NingNing about the statement. She felt that the statement ended up being controversial due to a few people who wondered why she would say such a thing. Karina quickly jumped to her defense, claiming that there was no such thing. After all, NingNing’s statement had been well-received as a refreshing fact.
