aespa Praised for Incredible Performance and Outfits at the Waterbomb Festival 2023 – Except Karina

As a top benchmark in the 4th-gen Kpop girl groups, aespa has consistently demonstrated their global influence throughout their career. Despite a recent major shift in their concept, aespa’s reputation continues to surge among groups of similar stature.

One of the most noteworthy pieces of evidence of their first-rate concept and quality was when aespa participated in the latest Waterbomb Festival 2023. In this festival, the 4th gen girl group managed to captivate the audience with their stunning performance with the perfect and most appropriate outfits. 

However, aespa’s rapper-vocalist Karina found herself at the center of unfair criticism from Korean netizens

aespa Gains High Praise for Most Appropriate Outfits at Waterbomb Festival 2023

On June 25, Kpop fans in South Korea enjoyed one of the largest Kpop festivals in the Summer: the Waterbomb Festival 2023, held at the Jamsil Sports Complex Auxiliary Stadium.

Waterbomb Festival is a Kpop annual summer festival where fans can enjoy stunning performances of many prominent Kpop idols while getting sprayed with fresh and cooling water. This year’s performance lineup included many first-rate performers, including Kwon Eunbi, Sunmi, Lee Young Ji, Zico, and aespa.

During the Waterbom Festival 2023, Kpop group aespa particularly gained praise for delivering their performance with the most appropriate outfits for the event. While Waterbomb Festivals commonly highlight the refreshing and hotness of the summer season, aespa members embraced the concept without overly-revealing outfits.

Korean netizens specifically noted the exceptional decision-making of aespa’s styling team. That is because aespa has a large number of underage fans. Therefore, netizens praised aespa and their team for making such considerate decisions.

Karina Faces Unfair Criticism for Having Allegedly Faked Her Body Image

Unfortunately, this Waterbomb Festival 2023 outfit praise didn’t fully apply to aespa rapper-vocalist Karina. While fans applauded her real-life unedited visuals at the Waterbomb Festival 2023, aespa Karina must face unfair criticism simultaneously.

On June 25, a post in a Korean online community forum accused aespa Karina of having faked her body image since debut. The post inserted a comparison between Karina’s existing body image she portrayed throughout the years, and her recent appearance at the Waterbomb Festival 2023.

According to the post, aespa Karina has deceived fans by having faked her body image. All this time, Karina has always been famous for her dream-like body proportions with a small waist, hourglass figure, and voluptuous chest.

However, at the Waterbomb Festival 2023, the OP (original poster) pointed out that Karina’s chest appeared significantly flatter. It was extremely different from the body image she had usually portrayed.

Fans Defend aespa Karina Against Fake Body Image Accusation: “Protecting Her from ‘Predators’ at the Waterbomb Festival 2023”

Following the unfair accusation, fans immediately rallied to defend aespa Karina.

Another community post emerged on June 26, revealing the assumption that aespa Karina’s chest appearance may seem different at the Waterbomb Festival 2023 because she was wearing a compression bra.

The community posts especially highlighted that since Waterbomb Festivals are commonly full of female ‘predators’, the styling team gave Karina such an outfit to protect her from potential sexual harassment.

  • “It’s obvious she was wearing a compression bra underneath. Karina’s very skinny, so the skin bulging out quite proved she was wearing the compression bra.”
  • “They have definitely put a precaution against sexual harassment. That’s why they compressed her chest.”
  • “You can see that the outfit compressed her chest. If not, why would she have skin bulging out under her armpit?”

A compression bra is a type of bra that suppress female breasts, preventing them from excessive movement during exercises. This type of bra is widespread for female sports players or ordinary people who feel uncomfortable when their breasts move too much during workouts.

    compression bra??
    More like excessive paddings!

    I don’t understand why SM insist on forming Karina into an unreal AI/gaming character figure.
    She is a real living human and she is beautiful the way she is!!!
