aespa Giselle Garners Criticism For Doing THIS Following Karina & Lee Jae Wook Dating News

On February 27, 2024, aespa memeber Giselle took to her Instagram Story to post a photo for her followers. The photo itself was nothing out of the ordinary. The photo is of Giselle holding a bottle of strawberry milk alongside the caption, "Strawberry milk for today."

However, soon after the photo was shared online, a Chinese Weibo user shared a screenshot of the post. Along with the screenshot was the caption, "What great timing to talk about strawberry milk."

It appears the Chinese netizen was mocking Giselle for posting an update while her fellow member, Karina, was embroiled in dating news with actor Lee Jae Wook.

As of writing, the post criticizing Giselle has received thousands of likes, shares, and comments. Many took to the comment section to agree with the Chinese netizens, saying that Giselle should have refrained from posting while the news of Karina and Lee Jae Wook's romance was still hot.

On top of that, many key words related to Giselle's post trended on the hot search of Weibo, ranking within the top ten. Many posts were made criticizing the female idol.

K-Netz & International Fans Defend aespa Giselle Amid Backlash

However, Korean and international fans were left confused by the criticism. According to other netizens, Giselle's Instagram story is not related to Karina's dating news; therefore, her post was harmless.

Many noted that Giselle is one of the members who is fond of sharing daily mundane life moments, and she has no reason to stop doing so just because Karina's relationship was revealed.

Some comments read,

  • "How is a co-member's dating news related to the food of another member?"
  • "It's just strawberry milk... Should she make a story about Karina's wedding wine instead?"
  • "Giselle is always posting about her daily life for fans. Why would she stop doing that just because Karina is dating?"
