Viral Post On Aespa’s Visual Transformation Sparks Intense Reactions
aespa is facing controversy over their visuals again.
A post on Pann went viral, claiming the four members—Karina, Winter, Giselle, and NingNing—are starting to “look alike.” The post gained over 100,000 views and included side-by-side comparison photos to back up the claim.
The controversy began when the viral post said:
“The four members of aespa somehow look more and more alike.”

Soon after, netizens jumped to aespa’s defense. Most disagreed strongly, saying the members each have distinct looks and vibes that set them apart.
Many accused the original poster of stirring controversy deliberately or trying a “reverse viral” tactic to get attention.
Netizens responded with burns like:
“With eyesight that bad, I recommend you apply for a visual impairment welfare card.”
“? aespa is literally a group where all four members have totally different vibes. If you think they look alike, then yeah, like the top comment said — you should probably go get that welfare card first.”
“Maybe you’re just at that age where your vision’s getting worse… might be good to get regular eye checkups.”
“Do you have face blindness or something? If so, fair enough.”
“You posted this exact same thing before, lol. If you’re going to try a reverse viral post, at least use photos where it’s believable. You uploaded two sets of pics, where they all look obviously different. Whoever’s running this reverse-viral marketing is not doing a great job.”
aespa’s visuals controversy shows no signs of dying down as fans and critics battle it out online. SM Entertainment has not commented on the issue.
