aespa Karina Harmed by Fashion, Fans Demand Change: ‘Stylist Should Prioritize Her Safety!'
aespa has once again found themselves at the center of controversy; this time, it's due to concerns over the safety of their styling choices.
MYs (aespa fandom) have long voiced their criticisms regarding the styling team's handling of aespa's outfits, citing instances where safety appeared compromised.
Karina, aespa leader, has particularly been under scrutiny. Fans have pointed out several incidents where her outfits seemed ill-fitted or even hazardous.
These included loose hems, broken and mismatched shoes, and uncomfortable attire that hindered her performance on stage.
In a startling revelation, one of Karina's outfits was even discovered to have a sewing needle still attached, raising alarm among fans about potential dangers not only to the idol but also to those around her.
The latest outcry stems from aespa's performance at the 2024 K-WAVE Concert on June 2, where Karina appeared in an all-denim ensemble.
While visually striking, the outfit quickly became a point of concern among fans who observed that the denim top appeared to dig into Karina's skin.
Denim, known for its stiffness and lack of elasticity, posed discomfort and potential harm as it rubbed against Karina's side and chest during her performance.

aespa recently made a comeback with their first full album, "Armageddon," and have been actively promoting their music, including high-profile appearances at festivals.
Despite their success, the ongoing issues with their styling have continued to overshadow their achievements in the eyes of concerned fans.
Calls for aespa's stylists to prioritize safety and comfort in their wardrobe choices have grown louder, with supporters urging SM Entertainment and the management team to address these recurring issues promptly.
As the group continues to navigate their careers in the spotlight, the pressure is on for improvements that ensure aespa members can perform confidently and safely on stage.
