Did Karina really deserve her popularity

isn't the more ponent question who really deserves (emphasis added) anything?
no one in kpop or otherwise deserves anything. There are groups that work their butts off and still not have a fraction of the success some other groups do - does that mean the second group doesn't deserve their success or that the first group deserves it more?
getting back to Karina - whether someone is attractive or visual is a subjective standard. You can prefer any of the people mentioned OP however the Korean GP (and advertisers) has spoken and they prefer Karina. It's not a question of whether Karina or any of the others mentioned deserving it - hell one might even argue that no one not Karina nor Wonyoung nor any "visual" etc etc deserve anything but it is simply a matter of the Korean GP's preference.
At the end of the day in most entertainment industries around the world being pretty = being popular. I've said it before in most kpop groups the "visual" might not always be the most popular member of the group but rarely will they ever be the least popular.

Well beauty is subjective
But Karina became a sensation when she was revealed all the way back in Taemin’s Want MV and performances. Her AI visuals just took Korea by storm…
But what people always dismiss is her skills. She is not only a pretty girl. She can write, sing, rap and dance pretty well. She also has a nice stage presence.
Also her personality clicks with GP. Hence her episode at drinking show with Youngji became most viewed yt video in Korea in 2023……
Hence she is a permanent host at synchro U and etc etc

to be honest thats sounds like a milquetoast and intellectually dishonest argument. even children an understand the meaning of deserving. this is an unrelated example just to make an illustration, a person who worked their butt off to get into an Ivy League or a spoiled child of the CEO of the company - who is more deserveing to get the job position at a company, everyone knows this. but we know reality isn't based on fairness
in the case of kpop idol popularity often times its based on luck, company power and whether the public gives someone a chance or not.

Tbh what Karina have that all the girls you mention lacks a lot to me is personality !!!
She's often went viral for her message on bubble and for the way she treat people and her fans
And tons of her tiktok video also went viral for being stupid and random
Karina seems very popular overall for being really pretty but also having a really down to earth and funny personality which differenciate from other it girls like wonyoung, jennie, irene etc... Which their personality seems more "well behave" and " well put together" personality
She have tons of references too
People are often surprise that she know old songs, old ads who were release before she's even born
But she also know what's trendy and what's young people like
So she ends up being someone who can easily adapt to a lot of situation and person
To me karina seems more random and approchable than them that's why she seems very liked by other people in the industry including comedians like jaesuk, jonathan, youngji etc .....

Huh Yunjin
She's a visual?
That's certainly not the impression I get.
Re: Karina. Deserves it? I don't really think Visuals deserve anything and wish the most talented members of groups were the ones that were the most popular, but that argument aside, I mean yeah, deserves it? I guess so? People have touched on before about "deserving". If she has the popularity then Q.E.D she deserves it.
There is one aspect of Karina that's both hard to discuss and from what I can see by reactions a very important part of why she's so popular that the other people mentioned do not have. It's certainly part of what has boosted her popularity, apart from her alignment with beauty standards.

Part of a big 4 group, extremely attractive, talented enough, and the obvious assets she has that other visuals don't. It was pretty much inevitable.

Why are there so few idols in the industry who are tall, have a beautiful physique, and are also charismatic like Huh Yunjin? She's bit more diverse type beauty. Karina is a visual member and she also is very talented, she deserves her popularity very well.

Yes she does and shame on everyone who says otherwise
Karina is more than just a visual
she has personality and the IT factor! She’s amazing and a great person as said by loads of fans and other idols. I think her popularity as very fitting, she’s not a cold/rude/attention seeking person. She’s simply Katarina Bluu

Is any 'popularity' actually deserved?
Talent, hard work, even looks are not that uncommon, yet only certain professions and even within those professions only a tiny percentage become 'popular'
So what is the point of quibbling over who is more popular in that already super tiny dubiously deserving.
It is just 'Karma', whatever they did in the past lives, or like the Koreans like to quote "She might have saved the country in the past life"

i'm sorry but where else do you see a visual/it girl do things as random than this ?
and how can you see this and not think this girl is adorable i want to know more about her
