Netizens are singing quite a different tune with Ningning now! When SM Entertainment first announced they were going to be debuting Aespa, Korean netizens were against Ningning joining the group's line-up due to her being Chinese. Many had claimed that the Chinese were distorting the Korean War and its history and that Chinese idols should not come to South Korea to make money and debut due to this.
At the time, there was a national petition filed to prevent Chinese idols from actively promoting in South Korea. With the tensions high, Korean netizens ridiculed SM Entertainment for still debuting Chinese idols.
Korean netizens also demaded that she not debut as the group's main vocalist despite how long she trained as a vocal and her vocal skills. They believed that a Korean should be the main vocal, just in case Ningning choose to leave the group and promote in China instead. They claimed that a Korean should be the main vocal to prevent the imbalance of lines in case she leaves.
Criticism maintained even when she was confirmed to be a member, with people saying that it is worrying that a Chinese idol is debuting and people questioning how long she will be staying in the group.
Now, however, it appears netizens have warmed up to her and are praising her visuals and voice. Aespa is set to debut on Nov. 17, 2020, with 'Black Mamba'. Are you excited for their debut?
