The leader of the popular SM Entertainment girl group is facing accusations of having an “over-the-top” personality and often being “irritating.”

Several clips of Karina’s reactions are going viral. Many have accused her of “overreacting.” In one clip, she’s reacting to BTS’s J-Hope dancing with her. In another, she’s accepting an award on stage and forgetting where the microphone stand is. The popular clip where she mistakenly calls aespa “aespo” during an acceptance speech is also included.

While these actions seem normal for a K-Pop idol to some, many are slamming the idol for “acting way too full of herself.”

She’s seriously acting way too full of herself.

The now-viral post on X (formerly Twitter) has drawn various reactions. Many agree with OP, claiming that Karina does, in fact, have an over-the-top personality. Some even cited her apology for a political controversy earlier in the year as an example.

And you call that an apology letter? You shouldโ€™ve just stayed quiet instead.

Myung Jaehyun is kinda just cute when he acts like that, but Karinaโ€ฆ she has this vibe that seriously irritates the people watching her.

Jaehyun isnโ€™t the type who acts annoyingly over-the-top to the point it makes you uncomfortable though.

Others have defended the aespa leader, claiming that she’s just having fun and netizens are twisting the narrative to paint a malicious picture.

Isnโ€™t it just that sheโ€™s extroverted and seems friendly, so people who lack social skills feel uncomfortable watching her?

This is what the hate toward Karina really looks like. Even if sheโ€™s just running, almost tripping, laughing, or simply breathing, they maliciously edit everything and push this narrative that sheโ€™s โ€˜trying too hard,โ€™ and it turns into girls tearing down other girls lol.
