Aespa‘s Karina astounded fans when she reached the highest level possible in the mobile game Gardenscapes at the time.
Gardenscapes is a mobile game in which the player is able to build, decorate, or restore their dream garden. The player must pass levels and earn ‘stars’ in order to complete their tasks. Karina took to Bubble to hang out with fans and catch up, which is when she revealed that she had a new gorgeous haircut, and that she had been spending enough time on Gardenscapes that she was at the highest level in the game.

While reaching the highest level is already impressive enough in and of itself, Karina also revealed that this actually might make her one of (if not the) highest ranked K-Pop idols in the game.

And as some fans pointed out, the highest level on Gardenscapes as of February 19, 2022, when she posted, was level 9926, which was reported on Reddit.
Since Karina has reached this level, this could make her not only one of the highest ranked idols, but one of the highest ranked players in the world.
Two days ago, the highest level for gardenscapes is level 9926. Karina’s current level is 9926, so she might be in top 5 or 3 in the entire world for this game.

While one can’t say for sure what her ranking is, it’s at least safe to say Karina is definitely among the highest ranked players. And considering her love for mobile games, not everyone is surprised at her achievement on Gardenscapes!
