“It Looks Exactly Like A Mattel Barbie Poster” — aespa’s Karina Goes Viral With A Single Thumbnail

We love blond Karina!

Aespa‘s Karina is often compared to a doll. With her recent switch to blond hair, people began calling her the human Barbie! During the group’s comeback with “Spicy,” the girls performed on M!Countdown on May 11, 2023. Karina’s YouTube fancam for the show soon went viral due to the thumbnail.

Not only did Karina look like a doll, but Mnet’s signature hot pink logo made the thumbnail look even more like a Mattel Barbie video.

Here’s the recent Barbie movie poster for reference.

Her small face and sharp jawline, paired with her blond locks and huge eyes made her look just like a doll.

The beret and shiny silver top added to the doll-like factor.

Fans have been making edits for Karina ever since her blond debut. The real thing is even better than imagined.
