Karina’s Instagram Post Sparks Election Debate
Karina from aespa has become the center of controversy after sharing photos from her Japan trip on Instagram. The idol wore a black jacket with bold red stripes and a prominent red number ‘2’, just a week before the Korean presidential election.
Many online speculated her fashion choice and red rose emoji in the caption hinted at support for a specific candidate. The situation gained traction as political figures referenced Karina’s post, further fueling the debate.
Post Deleted Amid Ongoing Reactions
Following widespread attention and mixed reactions, Karina deleted the post without further comment. Some netizens argued it was a simple coincidence, while others called for clarification, highlighting heightened political sensitivities during the election period.
Similar controversies have affected other idols, including ZEROBASEONE’s Kim Tae Rae, who also removed a potentially symbolic photo.
Fans and the public remain divided, with discussions about idol influence and political neutrality continuing across social media.
