In her previous styling incident, many fans expressed disappointment on June 25, when MYs noticed Karina's skin-chafing during a performance. MYs specifically pointed out Karina and aespa's performance at the "2024 K-WAVE Concert."
While NingNing sat out the event due to health concerns, Karina, Winter, and Giselle made the best out of their stages. However, fans were frustrated by the skin-chafing Karina had experienced due to her outfit's rough fabric.
Many were enraged by the stylist's choice for the leader, while others shook their heads at the repetitive mishaps regarding Karina's safety and styling. Some also suggested SM Entertainment to change the idol's coordi.
On November 12, 2023, aespa promoted "Drama" on SBS's "Inkigayo." All members stood out with their impressive stage performance, but fans were also concerned for Karina. Numerous clips spread online, which showed Karina noticing a needle sticking out of her outfit.
The leader was visibly shocked by the needle's appearance and proceeded to remove it. MYs couldn't hold back their anger at her stylist and SM Entertainment, as many stressed out how dangerous the needle was and that it would have hurt the idol.
@aespa_official@SMTOWNGLOBAL Why is there such a long needle on Karina's clothes? Is the stylist blind? The dance is so intense. If Karina didn't find this needle, do you know how serious the consequences will be? You guys really go too much.#KARINA#카리나pic.twitter.com/uWywxlwqag
