aespa’s Karina, often praised for her stunning visuals and enviable figure, has recently found herself at the center of online criticism. Some netizens have been nitpicking her appearance, particularly pointing out her “lack of hips,” despite her reputation for having one of the best idol physiques.

A post on an online community titled “Can you believe Karina has no hips?” went viral with over 41,000 views.

Her trapezius muscles are too developed, and she really lacks hips. So why are fans always trying to sell us on her body? Her legs are also short if she doesn’t wear heels and edit her pics.

The post sparked a flood of comments that pointed out people mostly like Karina for her small face and visuals, rather than her body.

It’s just hard to pick who has the best body in aespa because Karina wins with her bust and head shape, Winter for her waist to hip ratio, legs and shoulders for NingNing, and Giselle for having long limbs.

The viral thread has since been trending, reigniting conversations about K-Pop’s beauty standards and the constant scrutiny idols face over their appearances.
