Reactions to aespa Karina Styling for ‘Supernova’ Garners Divided Reception: ‘I’m Disappointed…’

Karina’s styling for aespa’s latest comeback with “Supernova”has sparked a range of responses among Korean netizens.

A post titled “Am I the only one who’s disappointed in Karina’s styling this time?”was uploaded on May 22, 2024 to Nate Pann, one of the most popular online community forums in South Korea.

Upon reading the post, it is clear that the original poster is not expressing hatred towards Karina. Rather, they are highlighting the fact that her current hair and make-up choices do not complement her as well as her previous styling did during past promotions.

The group expressed their wish for Karina to have a more suitable style for their upcoming release, “Armageddon.”

Everyone who came across the post couldn’t help but nod in agreement. It was pointed out that Karina had recently been sporting a high ponytail, which accentuated her forehead and hairline. Many assert that she looks more attractive with bangs or when her hair is left down.

Some argued that her fashion choices during this time were highly erratic, with some being well-received while others were criticized. It is widely believed that Karina’s styling for “Girls”and “Illusion”was a perfect reflection of her and that SM Entertainment should have continued with this style.

Some people suggested that it was not just her styling that had changed, but Karina’s entire face. There were speculations that she had undergone plastic surgery, resulting in her face appearing to “fall apart.”Others argued that her face was better suited for heavy make-up, making her recent lighter looks seem mismatched.

Despite criticism, there were those who stood up for the aespa member. They argued that it is not common for idols to maintain the same style throughout their comebacks. This is especially evident with idols from SM Entertainment, as they constantly strive to push boundaries and innovate with each new album. Hence, it is to be expected that Karina’s styling is currently in an experimental stage.

Several comments stated,

  • “I think Karina is the type of person who would only look pretty with f*cking thick makeup though. If the makeup is lighter, then her real face will show and it’s just so-so.”
  • “Her styling was so good for ‘Girls’ and ‘Illusion,’ it fit her perfectly.”
  • “It’s not like they can always go for the same style, so let’s be understanding. After all, idols always need to go for something different and groundbreaking with each comeback.”
  • “But why are Karina’s looks so inconsistent?”
  • “Karina looks like Heize with her bangs down in this promotion.”
  • “Karina’s face just changed. She is following in the footsteps of her seniors and her face is crumbling down.”
