Honestly, if you look at other K-Pop groups, people fight a lot, and there a lot of teams that don’t work well together. But even from the beginning, we didn’t have those issues. And if a conflict arises, we try to resolve it immediately. So I think we’re able to work well without any issues.

— Karina
