Since debuting in 2020, aespa‘s Karina has always gained attention from fans for her beautiful and effortless visuals!
Although Karina’s visuals are beautiful, the idol also has amazing talent and shines whenever she performs on stage.
Well, it seems like a university student had gained attention for her uncanny resemblance to the idol. A video gained attention after it was released with the title, “Karina’s doppelganger appears?!” In the video from the Sungkyunkwan University Festival, some of the students performed in front of crowds.
During the video, after the performances from the dancers, the host chatted with some of the crowd watching. When one of them was asked to do a three-line poem, they did one about an “unnie” who resembles aespa’s Karina.
Considering the poem, the student who was said to look like Karina came out and seemed extremely shy as she made her way to the center of the stage.
The 22-year-old student named Park Ji Hye announced that she was studying media, communications, and culture, also pointing out that the resemblance to Karina was something she had heard often.
Considering the student’s visuals, it wasn’t surprising that the crowds loved the interactions, especially when she joked that she would get a meal with the audience member along with her Instagram ID.
After speaking to the crowds, the video then highlighted the student again, proving she is even more like Karina as she showcased her amazing presence on stage during a performance where she was the center.
The video has since neared 2 million views and was even picked up by Korean outlets. While the student continues her degree, it wouldn’t be surprising if she gets scouted as her dancing talent and visuals are truly special.
In fact, she made another appearance a year later at the same festival, and spoke about how her recognition and popularity skyrocketed after the original video.
