Aespa’s Stylist Faces Criticism Over Karina’s Uncomfortably Short Dress

With her AI-level visuals, aespa‘s Karina often attracts attention for her visuals, regardless of what she is wearing.

Unfortunately, on more than one occasion, Karina’s outfits have in some way been poorly chosen or constructed, sometimes creating potentially dangerous and painful circumstances.

Recently, Karina dealt with an outfit that was not appropriately picked for her.

On September 6, the idol appeared at Musinsa‘s special pop-up event. On August 28, Karina was named an ambassador for the brand, leading to much anticipation from fans for her work with Musinsa.

Karina arrived at the event looking gorgeous and wearing a pink dress. Visually, there seemed to be no issues initially with her look, as her make-up also looked impeccable.

However, looking at videos from her initial arrival, it is easy to see that the dress is shorter. When Karina stepped out of her vehicle, the security held a blanket in front of her to allow her to adjust the dress.

Once out of the car, Karina continued tugging the dress down, with another staff member even stepping in to help.

Karina was on an elevated platform, meaning the dress rode up again when she walked up the steps.

You can see from the images that the shoulder straps of the dress are extended as far as they will go, meaning the dress was likely just not long enough for Karina’s frame.

Netizens criticized the stylist for putting Karina in such a short dress for the event.

• “Wow, what’s with that outfit? It’s so short. She should at least be able to walk in it.”
• “If it were just a bit longer, it would have been prettier. The outfit itself is nice, but…”
• “Seriously, even if it were just a little bit longer, it would have been so much better both to look at and to wear. I don’t understand why they made her wear something so short…”
• “The skirt should’ve been a bit longer, and it would’ve been fine to be less revealing. Why…”
• “It’s all too high up… The hem seems really uncomfortable.”
• “It’s way too short… It must’ve been uncomfortable…”
• “You can see the underwear beneath the skirt…”
