Since their debut in 2020, aespa has quickly become one of the most popular K-Pop groups, and the members are always praised for their crazy talent, looks, and personalities.
Especially, member Karina seems to always be going viral because of how beautiful she is.
Over the years, Karina has gotten a lot of attention for her strange, one-of-a-kind paintings that look like they are from another world.
Even when she’s performing on stage, Karina has an unreal air about her that makes everyone fall in love with her.
Well, her looks are so pretty that netizens can’t help but compare her to other idols. People have been paying attention to the first girl group of 2023 because they look a lot like Karina.
But the twist is that they’re not a real girl group.
Metaverse Entertainment announced the upcoming debut of their first K-Pop girl group, MAVE:, and it was recently revealed that MAVE: is entirely comprised of AI members.
The group is a partnership between a South Korean internet company called Kakao and a South Korean company called Netmarble, which makes mobile games.
Netizens reacted to the news in different ways, which was to be expected, and the fact that many saw a big resemblance to aespa‘s Karina made them even more worried.
Netizens couldn’t believe how much the members looked like Karina. They thought that the members were made using Karina’s features.
Even though it could be seen as a form of flattery, Karina gets noticed because she looks so different from everyone else.
With their sleek and futuristic concept, the members of MAVE: look like they got their ideas from aespa. When you compare the members to their AI counterparts in aespa, you can’t help but notice how much they are alike.
The idea of AI groups and idols is not new, and idols have always had an effect on each other.
Fans were shocked when the boy band SUPERKIND added an AI member named Saejin to the group. Fans said he looked like Juyeon from THE BOYS, Cha Eunwoo from ASTRO, Jaehyun from NCT, and more.
Netizens have always had mixed feelings about AI groups, but now that they look like a popular idol, they are getting even more attention.
