Despite being considered SM Entertainment’s “golden goose”and a top fourth-generation K-pop girl group, aespa has faced instances of mistreatment towards one of its members, Giselle.
The latest episode of the TV show “Amazing Sunday” featuring aespa caused quite a stir on social media. Fans were taken aback by a teaser that showed Giselle wearing a delicate, strappy top that barely covered her front and left her back completely exposed. As she danced on the show, the top seemed to slip and the straps appeared to loosen, causing fans to worry about a potential wardrobe malfunction on live television.

Fans were quick to express their dissatisfaction with the stylist and SM Entertainment for choosing to dress the idol in a revealing, impractical, and potentially dangerous outfit. Many harsh comments could be found, such as “I am shocked by what I see,””This outfit is essentially stripping Giselle,””It is unacceptable to have her dance in this,””I could not believe my eyes, the top only covers the front,”and “Was the stylist not considering the consequences?”
Giselle has experienced unfair treatment regarding her clothing choices before. In previous instances, the rapper has been seen wearing outfits that are less put-together compared to the other three members of aespa. Additionally, Giselle typically wears her hair in a simple, unstyled manner, unlike her groupmates who are always well-styled.
Despite repeated petitions from fans, the management company has failed to address the discriminatory behavior shown towards the idol by brands, the press, and broadcasting companies, which has only further angered the fans.
