aespa Karina and Winter are embroiled in plastic surgery rumors once again. This is because of the claims that their visuals are too different from their past.

In particular, Karina and Winter are both the visuals and faces of aespa. Some even think that they resemble SNSD Taeyeon and Tiffany, and even Red Velvet Irene.

However, their pre-debut photos made people skeptical about their natural beauty due to the difference.

In the case of Karina, internet users agreed that Karina's eyes changed, saying, "If you look at the pictures in her elementary school graduation album, the eyes are much smaller than they are recent."

People also stressed that it is clear she underwent the operation, saying that her nostrils and nose are different from now.

This is not the first time that aespa was accused of going under the knife before. As a matter of fact, in November 2020, the "rookie monster" was also alleged to going under the knife due to their high school graduation photos.

As a result, Dr. Kim Joon Ho, a plastic surgeon, also evaluated Karina's face in August, describing the female star's visual as "unrealistic.

He said, "The shape and ratio of Karina's face feel unrealistic. The average person has a long eye width of 26mm, but if this length is similar to the length of the nose, it becomes like a face in a cartoon. But Karina's eyes and nose are the same lengths."

Regarding the chin, he also said, "It's hard to imagine. There is a hole in the jawbone where nerves come out, but it's so narrow that I wonder if there's a hole in the jaw."

Nevertheless, MYs were quick to jump to Karina and Winter's defense and poured out comments like, "So what if they really plastic surgery?," "Why are you evaluating their face?," "Winter and Karina are already gorgeous back then until now," "Don't you know the word 'puberty?" "Op must be jealous" and more.
