Here's what MYs are saying:

The face shape is small, with a V-line, and the facial features are close together, so it's so pretty that it's so sophisticated. 

It's a really pretty snake.. Karina's stage name is also Karina, she's so pretty that I can't say anything, but she's so perfect. 

This is the first time a snake-shaped woman is so pretty. When I look at snake-shaped women, I hate them because I only see girls like ㄱㄱㅎ, ㅇㅇㅎ, etc., but Karina is so pretty.

Oh, you're so dizzyingly pretty. 

It's beautiful, my darling

Looks like a pretty female snake character from a cartoon haha. 

Isn't she popular because of her body, not because she has a pretty face? 

 How on earth is that so pretty??? 

Oh, is there even a snake statue? lol 

 If you look at my face before plastic surgery, it doesn't look like a snake at all. It looks like a snake made with plastic surgery and lenses.
