Amid ongoing criticism that HYBE’s virtual girl group SYNDI8 member Canary resembles aespa’s Karina, the concept overlap has fueled more negative reactions from netizens.

Recent posts comparing Canary and Karina have gained attention on online communities. Canary, a member of HYBE’s virtual girl group SYNDI8, debuted last month with the group’s first single. She occupies the vocal position in the group and has sparked conversations for sharing similarities with Karina, including a height of 168 cm and an ENFP MBTI type.

The issue intensified when aespa released concept images for their Japanese debut single Hot Mess, which bore striking similarities to Canary’s aesthetic. Karina’s prominent features and almost unreal beauty, combined with the shared “mecha” genre theme, have led to real-time comparisons between the two.

Netizens commented, “They look even more alike now,” “Karina’s beauty is truly unreal,” “It’s hard to compete with Karina,” “Karina wins hands down,” “Karina outshines again,” and “What’s with HYBE’s obsession with aespa?”

Meanwhile, aespa released their Japanese debut single Hot Mess today. The song carries a message of living authentically and radiates aespa’s positive energy.
