aespa Karina Goes Viral For Complexion, Side Profile In THIS Photo: 'She's Born With Everything'

Karina has trended once again for her appearance, which started an appreciation thread regarding the idol's beauty. Furthermore, the thread also sparked a separate discussion about cosmetics and self-management in the K-pop industry.

On July 25, netizens gathered in an online community titled "The Thing About Celebrities That Makes Me The Most Envious." The forum included a photo of aespa's charismatic leader, Karina, whose side profile and visuals are gaining all the buzz.

However, the post's author highlighted Karina's smooth and clear skin complexion. OP also shared that the idol didn't exhibit any signs of keratosis pilaris, a harmless skin condition that displays bumps or dry patches on the body.

"It's that her skin is so clear and there are no signs of keratosis pilaris," OP commented.

K-Netz were astounded by Karina's skin complexion, which also led to their compliments. Some were even inspired to engage more with self-care, while others admired Karina's appearance. Read their comments below:

• "Let's work hard exfoliating and putting on body lotion."
• "Wow this photo is crazy, it looks AI."
• "As expected, people always look at their own complex first in someone else. The first thing I saw in her was that she had no neck wrinkles."
• "Karina was just born with everything."
• "There are some celebrities who have keratosis pilaris too so I think that she might've been born like that."

However, some argue that pictures of idols are often edited, and they remark that the photo's natural tone could be debatable. They also point out that not all idols have good skin.

• "It could be self-management or she might have just been born like that. But most celebrities' photos are edited so you can't really trust this."
• "It's possible that Karina was born without it but every picture is edited so... also, the amount of money that celebrities spend on their skin is above and beyond your imagination."
• "Not all celebrities have good skin."

International fans also tackled the topic regarding celebrities' accessibility with dermatologists and skin care products. Meanwhile, some netizens called out others for being "salty" in the thread.

• "That's true but idols have more access to dermatologists and high-end skincare products compared to us."
• "I think idols spend a lot of time with the dermatologist. Highly targeted work can result in perfect-looking skin, unless there are hormonal issues, etc."
• "I-netz always get salty whenever K-netz praise celebs' good skin, like we all know these celebs get treatment. No need to reiterate your projection all the time."
