Netizens share their thoughts:

"Her face is 200 times more noticeable because she has black hair."

"Too little time was spent with Blonde Karina. Since she had already darkened her hair, I think she could have tried other colors before going black."

"Oh no already? I thought she might try something like pink hair."

"I thought this was a picture of her in the past, lol. I'm going to go watch Inkigayo now."

"I miss her beautiful hair, but she might have wanted this."

"I hope that she doesn't try to lift again this year after getting black."

"I think it's more of a blue-black, so it will fade to a pretty brown color."

"I really wanted her to get silver hair and other changes, but oh well."

While fans continue to discuss Karina's hair transformation, aespa's comeback with 'My World' has been a resounding success.

The album has officially become the highest-selling first-week K-Pop girl group album of all time, solidifying the group's position as a rising force in the industry.
