Both are the group’s main visuals, why are Karina (aespa) and Sullyoon (NMIXX) treated so differently by Knetizens?

How the situation will end is out of the question, but looking at the public’s attitude towards the main visuals of the 2 groups, Karina (aespa) and Sullyoon (NMIXX), a bias phenomenon can be clearly seen. While Sullyoon’s image is constantly being actively searched and transmitted by Knet, Karina used to make netizens “irritated” for appearing too much, she has even been called a media-play product of SM.

 

Specifically, before aespa debut and even a few months after the official debut was a rather turbulent time for Karina. She is mocked as “SM princess”, her beauty is not recognized by netizens, but she was often criticized for taking on too many personal projects, when appearing with the group, she was also the most prominent. 

SM did work hard to promote Karina as a comprehensive female idol, showing their intention to push aespa strongly through the investment in her image and outfits. SM’s obvious media-play move has caused Karina to suffer a lot of scandals, and her image is not very good in the eyes of netizens. aespa was even once mocked as “the group of Karina and friends”.

Netizens couldn’t help but laugh when they remembered SM’s efforts to promote Karina’s image to the public in the past. Indeed, she has been given a lot of opportunities, every good thing comes to her hand and the result is a top reputation. But in parallel with that is the label “SM princess”, “media-play product” that does not stop clinging. 

 

In contrast, rookie Sullyoon has only debuted for a few days, but has already covered the media and social networks with her stunning beauty. JYP hasn’t done anything, netizens have already volunteered to fall in love and even nominated her to be the new center for NMIXX. Therefore, it’s never wrong to say that JYP is the “master of girl groups visuals”!
