The incident was caught on tape.
An aespa Karina fan is going viral across community sites for their questionable action caught on camera.
On May 24, KST, a post on Theqoo went viral, showing the moment a fan “grabbed” the aespa member— her life-size standee to be more precise— and bolted out of a store.
As they dashed out of the store after snatching the cardboard cutout, employees were seen chasing them immediately. It is unclear whether they were able to catch the person on the security tape.
The bold yet hilarious incident has gone viral on Theqoo, with the post garnering over 85,000 views in less than a day. The reactions to this heist have been divided in Korea, with some considering it hilarious while others expressing skepticism.
- “They did that despite the employees being right in front of them? People might think this was made for a TikTok.”
- “So there are people who actually do the things we only imagined.”
- “They really grabbed it and ran. Crazy.”
- “I was like, ‘No way that’s happening in Korea,’ but turns out it was abroad lol. Like, there’s no way they’re not gonna get caught.”
- “It’s so ridiculously unrealistic, like something straight out of a marketing stunt — that’s what makes it hilarious lol. How can someone try to steal like that so blatantly? Karina out here making people fearless.”
