Karina of aespa is once again at the center of a political controversy.
On June 2, Karina posted several photos on her Instagram with the caption, "If you come running at me like this, tell me your MBTI and how you’d escape."
In the photos, Karina wears a blue sleeveless top and contact lenses. She pairs it with a checkered skirt and a bun hairstyle for a playful vibe.
However, right after the post went up, some focused on the timing and the color, raising suspicions of a political stance. They pointed out that the photos were posted a day before the 9th nationwide local elections, bringing her past “political color” controversy back to the surface.
Previously, during last year’s presidential election season, Karina shared a photo wearing a red jumper emblazoned with the number "2," which sparked speculation that she was signaling a particular political leaning.
Some netizens reacted by saying, "After all that uproar, again?" and "What a power play." Others countered, "It’s just styling," and "It’s exhausting to assign meaning to every single color."
Meanwhile, aespa released their second studio album 'LEMONADE' last month.
