Netizens quickly reacted with mixed opinions:

“The hair, makeup, and styling are done by staff anyway, so what does that have to do with Sooin’s personal ‘ideal vibe’? It’s just what the staff gives her.”

“Karina fans are ignoring this. Stop projecting, you roach-like haters.”

“Lol what kind of new viral marketing is this supposed to be?”

“Wow, the first picture actually looks really similar.”

“Sooin should try to show more of her own style or individuality.”

The controversy seems tied to styling choices by Sooin’s staff, but fans remain divided on whether this resemblance helps or hurts her image.
