The 5th generation of K-Pop has begun to debut. New groups and new faces are capturing people’s attention. Heart2Hearts Jiwoo is now making waves online for her pretty visuals. The rookie idol is gaining attention on South Korean platforms not just for her gorgeous looks but also similarity with one of her company’s senior idols, Aespa’s Karina! Read on to know more.
Visual Comparison Between Aespa Karina And Heart2Hearts Jiwoo
A post on the South Korean discussion forum, Pann, unexpectedly compared Jiwoo to Aespa’s Karina, calling her visuals to be on Karina’s level in a specific photo. Considering Karina is widely regarded as one of the 4th generation’s most iconic visuals, the comparison quickly drew eyes and opinions. Within hours, the post gained over 18,000 views, setting off yet another fan war between Aespa and Heart2Hearts fans in the replies.
While some admired Jiwoo’s appeal, describing her as sweet and incredibly beautiful, many others reacted negatively. The fans did not attack Jiwoo specifically, but rather to the growing tendency of drawing comparisons of newly debuted idols with already established and famous ones to garner online influence. The original post was accused of media play by several internet users, who suggested that Karina’s name was used to create drama or draw attention to Heart2Hearts Jiwoo.
Aespa Karina has previously been used as a standard in visual arguments, a practice that is wearing out fandoms and the idols themselves. Many people hope Jiwoo will be praised for her accomplishments rather than being tarnished by comparisons as she launches her career.
