Karina of Aespa Faces Backlash Over Revealing Outfit, Korean Netizens Respond

aespa’s Karina is facing controversy over her outfit at the recent W Magazine Love Your W party.

The event was meant to raise awareness about breast cancer but quickly turned viral for all the wrong reasons. Attendees got tons of heat for their actions, being drunk, and their choice of outfits. Karina did not escape the backlash.

A Twitter user posted:

유방암인식개선 행사에서
가슴까는 옷 입히고
니 몸은 달콤해 챌린지를
해야하는 이유가 뭔데 도대체
— 하.. (@AreyouAreyou__)

What’s the reason to dress her up in an outfit that reveals her chest and make her do a challenge about how sweet a body is at a breast cancer-awareness event?

Just jealousy. I can tell that they all just want to hate on her, even the ones here.
Idk why this outfit is causing a fuss.
Why is this considered revealing? Is this really 2025? Aren’t they just jealous LOL.
It’s just that she has a good body.
