Karina Instagram Followers Drop and Controversy

Many people are linking the decline in followers to Kareena's controversial post. But some fans and social media experts believe that this is part of Instagram's regular cleanup, in which inactive or fake accounts are removed. They also told that this decline started about two weeks before the controversy. During this time, a decrease in the followers of many other celebrities was also seen.

On May 27, Kareena shared some photos on her Instagram, in which she was seen wearing a red and black jacket, on which the number 2 was written. She only added a rose emoji in the caption of this post. International fans may find it simple, but South Korean netizens saw it as a political signal.

They said that this post may support South Korean presidential candidate Kim Moon Soo, as his election symbols include red color and number 2. Due to this, criticism and anger was seen on social media.

Agency and Karina's apology and clarification

As the controversy grew, Karina deleted her post within a few hours. Her agency SM Entertainment also released an official statement, stating that the post had no political intent and it was misunderstood. Karina also apologized to the fans and the public and said that her intention was not to hurt anyone.

Some South Korean fans are still angry and believe that such public figures should be careful in their online activities, especially when they have a large number of young fans. At the same time, many international fans supported Kareena and said that this controversy has been blown out of proportion and it was just a misunderstanding.
