Karina took to Instagram to share a post captioned "HBD" along with a series of photos.
In the first image, Karina is seen holding a cake adorned with strawberries, gazing directly at the camera. Her long black hair cascades naturally, highlighting her striking features, while a light-toned dress adds a soft touch to the scene.
In the following photo, she holds the cake with one hand and points to it with the other, maintaining eye contact with the camera. A ring on her finger adds a focal point, creating a different vibe with her gaze and gestures despite the consistent background.
Another image captures her playfully leaning forward, spreading her hair to the sides with a mischievous expression. This lively moment contrasts with the previous calm atmosphere. The final photo shows her close to the camera, with her hair naturally falling around her face, emphasizing her sharp eyes and subtle makeup, concluding with a gentle ambiance.
Fans responded with comments like "You're so beautiful," "Happy birthday my love my sister," "So pretty," "Happy birthday," "Happy birthday to my beloved singer," and "Congrats, baby."
Born in 2000, Karina debuted with SM Entertainment's Aespa in 2020 and has been receiving immense love since. Aespa is currently on their '2025-26 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : aeXIS LINE in OSAKA.'
