When Hyeri asked if she was fluent in Chinese, Karina replied that she used to be good at it, but now she has fallen out of touch with it to the point where she only understands the language. However, the two then proceeded to have a brief conversation in Mandarin, and Karina’s training seemed to kick in pretty quickly. She then revealed that she had started learning the language when she was in kindergarten!
