In the post, the author posted a photo of NingNing with visible armpit fats and said:
"(She has) too much armpit fats. I think she needs to lose some weight."
Following the writing, some netizens agreed and joined the OP to body-shame NingNing, saying:
- "She's a shoulder thug."
- "Although she was very popular when she debuted, she was the type of person who would be in big trouble if she gained weight."
However, MYs immediately jumped to defend aespa's youngest member and emphasized how ignorant the author of the post was.
In particular, the fandom pointed out that all people have different body types so as NingNing. Fans also implied that armpit fats are totally normal and said that NingNing's weight is no one's business.
Some of the comments are:
"It's not that she gained weight, but it's her body type. Look at her photo with Winter below. They both have the same thickness of their thighs, right?"
- "It's not that her upper body is fat, but her lower body is just thinner that she looks bloated. When I watched their behind-the-scenes video, she was wearing bell-bottom style jeans with a top, and she looked very pretty and slim."
- "And again, you start evaluating female idols' bodies without even knowing the topic, you pann girl?"
- "I feel even more sick of your persistence to pick on armpit fats."
aespa to Return in November With 'Drama'
Meanwhile, aespa, the group to which NingNing belongs is embarking on its return with its fourth mini-album, "Drama," set to be unveiled on November 10.
On this day then, the quartet teased fans with a comeback poster as well as a highlight medley that contains a preview of the songs before its official release.
The title track, "Drama" is said to be a hip-hop dance song with an attractive drum source and a sophisticated synth base. It is expected that aespa will show more intense charm with a confident attitude.
In addition, fans can also see the various vocal colors of aespa, through five other b-sidetracks, "Trick or Trick," a dance song with a hypnotic fatal charm, "You," a fan song with sincerity toward MYs, and "Don't Blink," "Hot Air Balloon," and "YOLO," which were previously pre-released on stage at their first solo concert.
