Karina, a member of the K-pop girl group aespa, recently made headlines with her outfit at a fan meeting in Japan. She took to the stage in a school-style mini skirt, showcasing her toned legs, and related images quickly spread across social media; at the same time, the combination of the skirt length and safety shorts also sparked differing opinions.

Japan Fan Meeting Adopts a School Theme

Safety Shorts Still Make the Outfit's Modesty a Focus
