Amid criticism that Canary, a member of the hive virtual girl group SYNDI8, is a character similar to the group aespa Karina, the concept has overlapped, adding to negative reactions from netizens.
Recently, posts comparing Canary and Karina have appeared in online communities, attracting the attention of Internet users.
Canary is a member of the virtual girl band SYNDI8 which debuted at HYBE and started her career in earnest after releasing her debut single last month. In the vocal position of the team, Canary was talked about by Internet users because her height and MBTI were the same as well as her name such as “168cm” and “ENFP.”
The problem is that as soon as the concept image of aespa’s Japanese debut single “Hot Mess,” to which Karina belongs, was released, it gave off an image similar to that of Canary, further fueling the fire of comparison.
Amid Karina’s strong self-asserted features and more unrealistic beauty than AI in the picture, Internet users are comparing Karina and Canary in real time due to the overlapping genre setting of the so-called “Mechamul.”
Netizens are saying, “Looking at it like this, you look more alike,” “Karina’s beauty is so unrealistic,” “I think it will be hard to copy Karina,” “It’s an overwhelming victory for Karina,” “Karina stepped on it again,” and “I intend to make Karina float.”
Meanwhile, aespa is releasing its debut single “Hot Mess.” “Hot Mess” is a song that contains the positive energy of Aespa with the subjective message of “I live like myself.”
