Artistic moments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

During a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, KARINA encountered various works of art. Immersed in the museum's iconic atmosphere, she gained artistic experience by viewing paintings from various artists, including works by Rodin. She even shared her own perspectives on the poses and compositions of figures within specific artworks.

She displayed a friendly attitude toward art, recalling memories of practicing pointillism during art classes in her childhood and mentioning the difficulty of using cotton swabs to make dots. As she moved through the museum, her focus on the colors and moods of the pieces showcased her appreciation for art.

Between hunger and art: enjoying Thai food in New York

The serious appreciation of art naturally transitioned into mealtime as hunger set in. KARINA went to eat Thai food, something she had been waiting to try for a long time in New York. Sitting before a table filled with visually stunning dishes, she, as the youngest member, delighted in being the first to taste the food.

After tasting the food, KARINA expressed her satisfaction with a specific menu item featuring a blend of soy sauce and sweet teriyaki flavors, calling it "number one out of everything so far." She detailed the flavors of a dish infused with peanut taste, revealing the joy of the meal. It was a playful moment balancing art appreciation with gastronomy.

Whimsical musical auditions on the streets of New York

While walking the streets of New York after her meal, KARINA presented unexpected humor. She enjoyed daily life in New York by performing a situational skit, acting like a musical theater actor auditioning to the lyrics of a song. Her playful side continued as she assigned herself a number, saying, "Number 411, Yoo Ji-min (real name), you may begin."

As she hummed the lyrics and acted like a performer repeatedly passing and failing auditions, KARINA transformed the unfamiliar space of New York into her own cheerful stage. From artistic appreciation to everyday humor, her time in New York was filled with a diverse flow of experiences.
