Karina Shares Casual New York Photos Without Circle Lenses

Karina shared several photos from her New York trip on social media on September 30. The images showed her spending time away from the stage, including visits to an art museum and a local restaurant. They offered a glimpse of her casual activities around the city.

At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Karina wore a black top and skirt with long boots and checked her phone near the exhibits. Other photos showed her exploring markets and posing with a knife and fork while dining. With her hair tied back and bangs framing her face, she appeared without circle lenses and without her usual glamorous stage makeup, showing a different look from her performance style.

aespa debuted under SM Entertainment in November 2020, with Karina serving as the group’s leader. The group’s songs include “Black Mamba,” “Next Level,” “Savage,” “Supernova” and “Drama.” The source also notes that SM Entertainment has taken legal action over deepfake videos involving Karina and Winter; in June, the agency said a person who created and sold the videos received a prison sentence of two years and six months.
