Aespa member Karina impressed fans and viewers with her unexpected archery abilities when she appeared alongside broadcaster Jang Do-yeon on the latest episode of Netflix's travel variety show, "Getaway and go With Jandobra."
The episode, which premiered on December 27, marked Karina's debut as a travel companion on "Getaway and Go With Jangdobari" Season 3. The two headed to Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, a city surrounded by nature, for an overnight trip filled with various activities.
The collaboration fulfilled a long-standing wish from Karina, who had previously suggested to Jang Do-yeon during an appearance on the YouTube variety show "Salon Drip 2" that they work together on a travel program, according to allkpop.
From the moment they began their trip, Karina showed genuine enthusiasm about spending time with Jang Do-yeon, whom she has openly supported as a fan for years.

One of the standout moments involved an archery challenge. Karina attempted archery for the first time during the episode, and despite being a beginner, she demonstrated impressive skill with the bow, DIPE reported.
The two engaged in a competitive archery match, with the winner earning the role of Prince Jumong and the loser taking the role of Mopalm. Karina's performance surprised both Jang Do-yeon and audiences, as she held her own in a tight competition with her more experienced partner.
During the show, Karina also mentioned feeling self-conscious about her arm length relative to her height, but once she picked up the bow, her expression changed as she became focused and competitive. Her determination and unexpected talent at the sport added an entertaining element to the episode.
The appearance of the aespa member on "Getaway and Go With Jangdobari" is part of season 3's expanded guest lineup, which aims to create unique chemistry between Jang Do-yeon and different personalities. Karina's episodes are scheduled to air on December 27, January 3, and January 10, as per chosun.
