aespa Karina’s Sudden Change In Appearance At World Cup Sparks Divided Reactions

Most recently, aespa’s Karina and Winter flew to Mexico to attend the World Cup.

At the game, the two showed up in matching red shirts as they posed for the camera.

While most praised their looks…

…some were disappointed in the styling and wondered why Karina suddenly appeared with bangs.

• “Her face is amazing, but the bangs make her look stuffy.”
• “Karina’s hair and makeup are disappointing…even Winter.”

It turns out that on the way to the airport, Karina suddenly broke out in an allergic reaction, causing her face to swell. She also left a message to fans letting them know she would be wearing bangs to cover her allergies.

Due to my allergy issue, I’m going to come wearing my bangs.
