A fan recently posted on Nate Pann to express frustration regarding SM’s unfair treatment among aespa members.
They pointed out, “To be honest, Karina is the most popular member of aespa. However, SM only sent Winter to Lee Mu Jin Service, Street Woman Fighter 2, Jo Hyun Ah’s Thursday Night, and even Gucci event. Giselle had Dingo, while Ning Ning appeared on Begin Again and collaborated with Jay Park. Winter even had collaborations with Yesung and Im Si Wan”.
The fan angrily said, “The only individual schedule Karina had was her collaboration with U-Know Yunho. Are you kidding me? This discrimination is so severe. Look at the Instagram followers to see who’s the most famous member”.
In response, other netizens commented:
- Everyone knows Karina fans don’t write things like this, but it’s more like they are trying to criticize Karina fans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They are really attacking fans of the most popular member ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Karina is doing well but is it a crime?… Whether it is during the promotions or during hiatus, Karina is always getting criticismㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guess being popular is really a crime…
- Karina fighting~~ Popular members often suffer such things in the fandom… Just think that being pretty and famous is a crime…
- You need to be talented, what should they give her…
- No matter how badly you talk about her, Karina is still the No.1
- What should they push Karina with? Vocal, dance or visual… Winter is better in all ways
