aespa Karina’s “WATERBOMB 2026” Look Sparks Heated Debate

Amid the appearance, a post on Nate Pann titled, “It looks like Karina’s hips have gotten wider since she gained weight” sparked a lot of attention as it showed the idol from the event.

Yet, while idols’ weight gain can sometimes be a subject of criticism, netizens praised Karina’s healthy body and thought the idol looked even sexier and more beautiful.

• Rather than making Karina super skinny, I think leaving a bit of healthy weight on her makes her look sexier and more feminine.
• Fans seem divided between “she should lose weight” and “she shouldn’t,” but I also think she looks prettier with a little more weight on her.
• Forget the hips, she’s put on a bit of weight around her thighs, and her figure looks even better. It’s amazing how she only seems to gain weight in all the right places. Her face is still as tiny as ever.

• Wow, even when she gains weight, how does she manage to do it so beautifully that it makes her figure stand out even more?
• I guess it’s because her face is ridiculously small, but even if she gains a bit of weight, her face still looks just as tiny.
• She’s so pretty.
