On December 10, aespa joined other K-Pop artists such as SHINee, BoA, ZEROBASEONE, and TREASURE to perform at the 2023 K-Link Festival at Jamsil Arena in Seoul. The girls were styled beautifully in fluffy all-white outfits, and they gave an incredible performance of their latest title track, “Drama”!
While all of the members looked stunning, Karina caught a lot of fans’ attention for her AI-like beauty and perfect styling at the beginning of the performance. What made fans even more endeared by her, though, is how her appearance changed by the end of the song!

While her hair starts out perfectly straight and smooth, it’s clear that the stage was quite warm and, paired with Karina’s heavy-looking outfit, it’s unsurprising that she would get sweaty from her intense dancing. And because of that, her hair ended up being relatably unkempt by the end!

On a post about her appearance at this event, a photo was even shared that compared her adorably to a fluffy dog.

When she appeared online after the show, though, she was back to being perfectly styled and fresh-faced once again.

She even took to Bubble later on to jokingly mention the state of the performance stage, claiming that it was just too hot!
It’s clear that Karina cares about giving a great show for their audience, and that’s a trait worth appreciating!
“I’d rather see her getting messy bc she’s giving it all in her performance rather than not doing sh*t just to look pretty all the time.”
