aespa’s Karina, often praised for her unreal “AI-like” visuals, continues to draw attention wherever she goes. This includes strangers who don’t even know she’s a celebrity.
In a new video with W Korea, Karina appeared on the magazine’s YouTube channel for a relaxing ASMR-style makeup session. During the conversation, she was asked if she’s ever had memorable encounters with fans on the street. While she shared a few, it was the second story, one that didn’t involve a fan, that left viewers amused.
Karina explained that she was shopping for makeup when a foreign woman approached her and began complimenting her beauty. The woman then boldly asked for her Instagram account.

Karina, taken aback, responded politely but shyly, admitting that she does have an Instagram, but felt too embarrassed to share it. Her soft, giggly reaction to being hit on made fans laugh, with many calling her “adorably shy” and “too cute to handle.”

Once the clip circulated online, fans reacted with amusement. Many joked that even strangers can’t resist Karina’s visuals. Others teased that they would have done the same if they saw her in person. Some praised her respectful but bashful way of turning down the request.
