Aespa’s Karina Fiercely Defended After Facing Viral Plastic Surgery Allegations

A recent post on the popular online community Pann has sparked a heated discussion among netizens, as it questioned whether aespa’s Karina had undergone plastic surgery.

The post, titled “Did Karina’s Nose Tip Drop?” quickly gained traction. The original poster speculated about changes in Karina’s nose shape based on a series of photos. The post then quickly went viral, amassing over 47,000 views in just a few hours.

The OP claimed that in a recent candid photo, the tip of Karina’s nose appeared flatter than in previous images. This led to speculation about whether the difference was due to the angle of the photo or if her nose shape had changed over time.

The OP went on to express concerns about the longevity of cosmetic surgery results, stating that if even celebrities — who typically have access to top-notch information and care — experience changes in just a few years, it might be worth reconsidering getting a nose job.

The Karina I know looks like in photos 2, 3, and 4, but in the recent candid shot (photo 1), the tip of her nose looks a bit flattened.

I’m wondering if it just looks that way because of the angle, or if her nose tip really did drop.

I’m considering getting a nose job, and I’m curious. If a celebrity gets surgery, they usually have a lot of information and careful attention from the doctors. But if the shape changes in just 3-4 years, I might need to rethink it…

However, the post was met with strong backlash from fans and other netizens. Many were quick to defend Karina, questioning the basis of the OP’s claims.

They argued that comparing photos taken from different angles was not a valid way to assess someone’s appearance, and some criticized the OP for focusing on someone else’s looks in such a scrutinizing manner. The comments section of the post became a battleground, with many users condemning the unnecessary criticism directed at Karina. Some pointed out that discussions like these are common on Pann, where certain celebrities are frequently targeted.

• “What does it even mean for a nose tip to ‘drop’?”
• “Are you a doctor? Why are you so concerned with someone else’s perfectly fine nose?”
• “You’re comparing photos taken from different angles — what are you even trying to prove?”
• “Nate Pann can’t go a single day without trashing Karina.”
• “You seem to be lacking in intelligence.”
• “Real fans who appreciate natural beauty react calmly to posts like this.”
