aespa’s Karina Accused Of Wearing “Exposing Outfit,” Korean Netizens Jump In
aespa‘s Karina recently attended W Magazine‘s Love Your W party, an event meant to raise awareness on breast cancer. Due to the severe backlash that the event garnered, many of the attendees were criticized on various things, from their party actions, to being drunk at the event, even their outfits.
Karina was not spared. Netizens began to accuse her of wearing an exposing dress. She had worn a midi-dress that had a slightly lower-cut neckline.

The modest length and reasonable neckline seemed more than acceptable for a party. Despite this, people had already begun to shade her on social media.
