Karina of aespa has just sent the internet into a frenzy with her dramatic short hair transformation. Known for her signature long hair, she surprised fans by chopping them off—yet still looking as unreal as ever with her doll-like visuals.

On February 26, Karina departed for Italy via Incheon International Airport’s Terminal 2 to attend the PRADA FW25 DONNA FASHION SHOW. Her airport look was effortlessly chic, pairing a black Prada puffer jacket with a black mini skirt and sleek knee-high boots, proving once again why she’s a true fashion icon.

She’s currently the face of Sprite under Coca-Cola, the Italian coffee brand Pascucci under SPC Group, and Shinsegae Department Store, cementing her status as one of the industry’s top stars.
