On June 22nd, a topic titled “How did Karina become so pretty” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, quickly attracting over 95,000 views.
In particular, the author of the topic mentioned that back when pre-debut photos of Karina were first revealed on a Korean forum, many people criticized her visuals, saying that she wasn’t suited to debut in an SM girl group, not to mention as a center.
Under the comment section of this topic, various netizens came to express admiration towards Karina’s visuals, which are improving everyday. However, there are some individuals that tried to credit Karina’s glow-up to plastic surgery, though most disagreed with them.

Below are some comments from netizens:
- It’s the power of plastic surgery, isn’t it?
- At this point, girls on Pann need to admit that Karina has always been prettier than them. She was born with celebrity-worthy features, from face size, face shape, to neck length and so on. If everyone has plastic surgery and is originally uglier than you, then what is the reason for SM’s rookie development team? They did casting, you know. It’s not as if they just take a random person, make them get plastic surgery, and send them to debut. If it’s like that, a lot of people will be able to become idols
- Stop saying that Karina’s pretty only because of SM. You won’t have the same glow up if it were you
- She debuted with a pretty face and has always been pretty. aespa just had poor styling in the beginning
- If you look at her visuals alone, she is the overwhelming top among existing female idols. Even other idols admit this
