Influencer Famous For Resembling aespa’s Karina Hit With Catfishing Allegations After Unedited Video Goes Viral

An influencer known for resembling aespa‘s Karina is facing allegations of catfishing her fans.

On August 10, an online post titled “Karina Look-Alike Influencer Really Looks Like This” went viral. The post, which has been viewed by over 240K times, shows several photos of an influencer who is famous for closely resembling aespa’s Karina.

The photos seem to be from a video clip, and in them, the idol looks very different from the photos on her Instagram.

Netizens had varying opinions about the photos. Some stated that there was nothing wrong with influencers editing their photos, while others felt this was an extreme case.

• “I remember when I went to WATERBOMB, I didn’t see anyone that looked pretty enough to be a celebrity, but if you go through their hashtag, you see so many good-looking people. You should never compare yourself to people you see on Instagram.”
• “This is the reason why out of all the Instagram celebrities, only Han So Hee and Go Yoon Jung debuted.”
• “Her pictures are obviously edited, so I didn’t think I would be that surprised, but there is a huge difference. I am shocked.”
• “IRL, she looks similar to Lee Young Ji.”
• “This is why you shouldn’t let Instagram hurt your self-esteem.”
• “That other influencer who tries to look like Jang Won Young makes it so obvious that she edits her photos too.”
• “Her photos are so obviously edited, so why lie? She’s so guilty.”
• “She’s committing fraud, considering she sells diet pills on her page.”
