On October 2nd, 2025, aespa’s Karina posted a series of makeup-free photos that had fans losing their minds in the best way possible! With her soft waves and natural glow, the K-pop star showed that beauty doesn’t need heavy makeup, lashes, or filters to shine. The K-pop princess took to Instagram to share some moments of her stay in New York, posting a carousel of photos that gave off a chill vibe.
Her effortless look? Tousled hair, light bangs, and a surprisingly easy-going vibe, which contrasts with her fierce charisma on stage. Under New York’s natural light, the aespa member also took the chance to show her flawless skin. Her natural glow and makeup-free look were literally giving her the title of “bare-faced legend.” The aespa member also posted a pic of a green smoothie and one of her meals, giving fans a glimpse into her life off-stage in The City That Never Sleeps. 
Meanwhile, aespa continues promoting their 6th mini-album, “Rich Man,” which is anchored by the song of the same title. In addition, the group just resumed their “Synk Aexis Line” tour this October 4th, 2025. The quartet will be visiting cities in Japan, Thailand, China, and Indonesia throughout late 2025 and early 2026.
