Karina faced an unexpected and controversial moment at the Met Gala, after photographers mistakenly called her by another idol’s name, sparking backlash online.

The incident took place at the prestigious Met Gala, officially known as the Costume Institute Benefit, held on May 4 (local time) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

On the red carpet, Karina stunned in a custom white satin dress featuring a tablier neckline, intricately embellished with jet beads and silver crystal embroidery. She completed the look with a matching clutch, silver leather sandals, and elegant jewelry adorned with white gold, peridot, amethyst, and diamonds enhancing her signature ethereal and refined aura.

However, the controversy arose while she was posing for photos. Several photographers at the scene were heard loudly calling out “Jisoo,” mistakenly referring to Jisoo instead of Karina.

As videos of the moment spread online, netizens quickly criticized the photographers for their lack of professionalism and basic awareness. Many pointed out that failing to correctly identify a globally invited celebrity at an event as significant as the Met Gala reflects poorly on their conduct and preparation.

Despite the awkward and disrespectful situation, Karina remained composed, continuing her poses without showing any visible discomfort.

Fans praised her calm and graceful response, highlighting her professionalism under pressure. Many commented that her ability to stay poised in such a moment proved her status as a true global star.
