Yonsei University Receives Backflash After Neglecting aespa NingNing

In a recent turn of events at Yonsei University's music festival, K-pop sensation aespa found themselves at the center of controversy as fans noticed a stark omission in the university's social media posts and acknowledgments.

While Karina, Winter, and Giselle received ample spotlight, their fellow member Ningning seemed to be conspicuously absent from the limelight.

Despite her presence as a performer at the festival, Ningning was notably excluded from Yonsei University's promotional material.

Fans were quick to notice that in the university's Instagram posts highlighting the event, only images of Karina, Winter, and Giselle were featured, with no mention of Ningning whatsoever.

Moreover, the exclusion extended to the official post detailing the performers, where Yonsei University tagged all performers except for Ningning, leaving fans bewildered and outraged over the apparent oversight.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ningning herself took to social media to share a photo of herself donning the Yonsei uniform, a gesture of appreciation for the event.

However, her efforts to engage with the university were met with silence, further intensifying the backlash against Yonsei University's perceived neglect of the talented artist.

In response to the exclusion, fans of Ningning swiftly mobilized on social media platforms, launching hashtags such as "WHERE IS NINGNING" and "TREAT NINGNING FAIRLY" to express their discontent and demand accountability from Yonsei University.

The incident has sparked widespread debate among netizens, with many questioning the motives behind Yonsei University's apparent disregard for Ningning.

Comments flooded social media feeds, criticizing the university's actions and calling for fair treatment of all members of aespa.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FANS' COMMENTS:
