aespa, the sensational K-pop group, known for their striking visuals and unique style, has found itself at the center of controversy as fans raise concerns about their fashion choices. Critics have voiced their worries, pointing to alleged instances of dangerous styling and favoritism within the group.

On social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter), Aespa's passionate fanbase has been vocal about ongoing issues related to the group's wardrobe selections.

Allegations of Dangerous Styling 

One prominent concern is the apparent disparity in the number of outfits provided to each member. According to one fan, Ningning received nine new outfits within a specific timeframe, while Winter received six, Giselle received three, and Karina seemed to have received considerably fewer.

Fans have also highlighted what they consider to be "unprofessional behavior" by Aespa's styling team. Allegations have emerged that Karina, in particular, has been dressed in outfits that pose potential risks to her well-being.

During the 2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon performance, a sole of Karina's platform boot detached while she was dancing, causing concern among supporters.

Additionally, instances of Karina wearing mismatched boots with different heel types and height differences have been noted.Furthermore, Karina has been seen in outfits described as "dangling," which could easily lead to tripping hazards.
