However, it’s Karina’s more natural appearances that seem to resonate deeply with her loyal fan base. These minimalist looks, characterized by their simplicity and elegance, have become fan favorites over time.

“She has this timeless beauty that shines through no matter what,” commented another admirer.

Recently, Karina’s appearance in a Vita500 advertisement sparked a flurry of reactions online. Departing from her usual understated makeup, she embraced a vibrant palette featuring blue lenses and bold pink accents.

• “Pann always has a tendency to go after popular female idols. Nowadays, they elevate Jennie and Suzy while bashing Karina, but anyone who’s been around for a while knows that just a few years ago, they used to criticize Jennie and Suzy just as harshly as they’re doing to Karina now. In a few years, when another female idol debuts, they’ll praise Karina while bashing the new one, showing their misogynistic tendencies all over again.”
• “But the commercial video was really pretty.”
• “I think it’s more about the filter than the makeup. I saw the ad on YouTube, and the filter seemed super vibrant.”
• “It’s probably the colored lenses. The makeup itself doesn’t seem that heavy.”
• “Here comes Karina’s obsessive ahjummas again, manipulating top comments. No matter how much you insist Karina is ugly, the reality is she’s doing great as a top-tier 4th generation idol. How long will you keep deluding yourself here?”

Many criticized the double standards applied to female idols in the industry, noting how perceptions of beauty often fluctuate based on trends and biases.

“Karina is a top-tier idol of the 4th generation, and her impact is undeniable,” one fan passionately stated.

The incident has once again highlighted the ongoing discussion around beauty standards and the evolving nature of public perception in the K-pop industry.

Whether adorned with a bold new look or embracing her natural beauty, Karina continues to redefine standards and inspire fans worldwide with her charisma and style.
