aespa's Karina Faces Body Shaming Over Airport Photos After Viral Performance
aespa member Karina (유지민) recently garnered significant attention for her outfit featuring a super-short pleated skirt. During a fan meeting in Japan, she confidently showcased her firm and well-proportioned legs. Videos of her performance quickly went viral online, reigniting discussions among netizens about idol body aesthetics.
However, just as the previous discussion subsided, Karina unexpectedly found herself embroiled in another body image controversy due to a set of airport photos. She appeared at the airport with other aespa members, dressed in a white tank top and jeans, sporting a simple, casual look. Without the embellishments of stage costumes, her natural physique was fully visible. While many fans initially praised her fresh and natural style, photos and videos taken at the scene quickly spread on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, unexpectedly sparking a debate about her body.
Some netizens commented that Karina appeared slightly more robust compared to other more slender members. Some even criticized her for having a larger frame and a thicker overall build, specifically targeting her legs, stating they were "too thick" or that she had "gained weight."
The discussion soon spread to international social media, where many global fans came to Karina's defense. They expressed confusion, arguing that she clearly maintains a slender physique yet still faces criticism for being "fat" or "chubby." One netizen lamented, "K-pop's beauty standards are so exaggerated that even Karina is called fat. It shows how unreasonable the demands on female idols' bodies are."
In fact, Karina has frequently been a topic of discussion since her debut due to her outstanding body proportions, but this has also subjected her to prolonged scrutiny. The controversy sparked by these airport photos once again highlights how female idols' bodies remain a focal point of online discourse and reignites discussions about whether K-pop beauty standards are overly strict.
