• aespa's Karina faces wardrobe malfunction during concert, fans upset: "This isn't the first time"

    aespa member Karina encountered another wardrobe issue that left fans frustrated.

    During a recent concert in Japan on July 14th, on stage in all-black attire for their final performance, Karina's top ripped, nearly exposing her upper body and underwear.

    Despite the mishap, she managed to hold onto the torn fabric with one hand while continuing her dance moves.

    Fans voiced their discontent over the recurring incidents, commenting, "This isn't the first time; it's getting too much," and "Why does this keep happening to Karina?" The incident even trended as the third most searched topic in China.

    Earlier in May, during their comeback with 'Supernova,' issues with stage costumes also surfaced. Karina faced a similar mishap where a strap of her top came undone during a music broadcast. Despite the setback, she finished the performance calmly after attempting to fix it.

    In past instances, concerns have arisen over Karina's wardrobe choices, such as discomfort from tight outfits during events like 'K-Wave Concert Inkigayo.'

    Karina's wardrobe challenges are not new, including incidents with needles on clothes before performances and issues with footwear during intense dance routines.

    Fans, particularly concerned about the safety and comfort of female idols in revealing outfits, are urging SM Entertainment to take preventive measures.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
