A trace of passion… and possibly one too many drinks. 💋
Pictures of an unmistakable kiss mark on a cardboard cutout of aespa‘s Karina have gone viral.
The life-sized cardboard Karina, said to be standing in Seoul’s “Hongdae” neighborhood—known for nightlife, is part of the idol’s endorsement of the beer brand KRUSH.
When the original poster (OP) noticed a lipstick stain on Karina’s left cheek…
…the OP snapped pictures of it and demanded the “culprit” step forward.

The tweet went viral as aespa fans shared both playful envy at the “lucky stranger,” as well as unexpected fascination at how “natural” the kiss mark looked.
- “Those are some nice lips.”
- “I’ll let it pass one time if it was done wearing YSL lipstick…”
- “I was at Hongdae not too long ago and saw this, too. LOL. I thought the kiss mark was printed on because it looked so natural. Haha.”
- “Who did this! LOL. I can SMELL the alcohol!”
- “Who did this…”
- “NGL, that kiss mark looks quite good, haha. It’s kind of hard to leave a perfect stain like that. IYKYK, haha.”
- “So cute, LOL.”
- “WHICH ONE OF YOU KISSED MY GIRL?! Haha.”
- “Oh, WTF. Haha.”
- “Which b*tch did it!”
- “I get the urge, though. I would not have been able to hold back a smooch.”
