aespa Karina’s wider hips after perceived weight gain at “WATERBOMB 2026” spark major reactions
aespa’s Karina sparked major shock after new photos from WATERBOMB 2026 led netizens to say she had gained weight and that her hips looked wider.
A post on Nate Pann drew attention with a headline about Karina’s appearance at the event.
“It looks like Karina’s hips have gotten wider since she gained weight”
Still, many users defended Karina, saying she looked healthy and even more attractive with the added weight.
Netizens left a range of reactions on the post.
Rather than making Karina super skinny, I think leaving a bit of healthy weight on her makes her look sexier and more feminine.
Fans seem divided between “she should lose weight” and “she shouldn’t,” but I also think she looks prettier with a little more weight on her.
Forget the hips, she’s put on a bit of weight around her thighs, and her figure looks even better. It’s amazing how she only seems to gain weight in all the right places. Her face is still as tiny as ever.
Other users echoed similar praise for Karina’s look.
Wow, even when she gains weight, how does she manage to do it so beautifully that it makes her figure stand out even more?
I guess it’s because her face is ridiculously small, but even if she gains a bit of weight, her face still looks just as tiny.
She’s so pretty.
