Korean fans left disappointed by G-Dragon's brief dance segment with aespa's Karina.
K-pop legend G-Dragon made a triumphant comeback to the music scene with his latest album 'Übermensch,' and fans were thrilled to have him back. The excitement peaked when a surprise guest, aespa's Karina, appeared in the music video for the title track "TOO BAD."
Speculations had been rife about Karina's cameo in G-Dragon's comeback video, and when the video dropped on February 25, fans' suspicions were confirmed. However, the joy was short-lived as Karina's appearance lasted a mere 20 seconds, leaving many fans wanting more.
The reaction from Korean netizens and fans was mixed:
"Is that all for Karina? Such a brief moment."
"Why even feature Karina if it's only for a short dance?"
"Karina's beauty wasted in a fleeting moment."
"What's the deal with this?"
"Why relegate a popular idol like Karina to just a dance part?"
The disappointment was palpable, with many feeling that Karina deserved a more significant role in the music video. Despite the backlash, there was also acknowledgment of the retro vibe and creativity in the video.
Although aespa continues to make waves with a successful North American tour, the spotlight on Karina's limited appearance with G-Dragon has left fans wanting more from the collaboration.
