I find it really difficult to explain as it makes me stay enough away from aespa to know I still feel that way! There's just something about the way that SM market Karina and craft her image that feels so creepy to me, so aggressively sexualising her by both objectifying her body/image as well as how childish/innocent she can look offstage (i know she's 21 irl), how specifically soulless every single promo image of her that I've seen feels - I feel like I've never seen someone marketed so heavily as just an object/persona for consumption with no agency, and I really haven't got any specifics or words or feminist theory in my vocabulary to use to put my finger on exactly what it is about her (not really her, her agency)
