aespa’s Karina recently gained attention for her outfit at the K-Link Festival. The group appeared at the festival on October 5, receiving praise for their engaging performance of ‘Armageddon’ and 'Supernova.' However, another aspect of aespa’s performance quickly drew attention: Karina’s outfit. In contrast to the other members, Karina’s short dress seems to be causing her discomfort, as she is seen constantly pulling it down throughout the performance and dancing in a more restrained way.

Netizens are now criticizing aespa’s stylists for giving Karina such an uncomfortable outfit to perform in, and some have pointed out that this is a repeated occurrence:

“It’s too short. Is it really necessary for it to be like this?”

“It’s not even like this has only happened once or twice”

“The trend is to wear long skirts or pants and be more comfortable on stage. And this isn’t even a pretty outfit, what are we supposed to do with this…”

“Why on earth do they think aespa has more female fans anyways? Who is this even for?”

“Aespa's outfits have been getting a lot of attention lately, but I really feel like they're too revealing. It makes the members feel uncomfortable, so I'm even more uncomfortable”

“The stage is always so far below the audience… Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to wear that and think that tens of thousands of people are looking up from below?”

“It’s not just short, the material is also too thin and tight, so it really looks uncomfortable”

“Karina is the most beautiful woman in the universe, but isn't this outfit too much? If it’s that short, how can she dance? aespa's choreography is always so difficult too”

“Wow, such a short stage outfit and it’s still this boring… I don't think girl group stage outfits will ever get better”

What do you think of Karina’s outfit?
