Meanwhile, earlier on June 26, fourth-gen girl group aespa shared on their Instagram Stories that Irene had bought them watermelons, which ended up being discussed in a community forum. Many netizens were happy to see the "Cosmic" singer show love to her juniors.
However, some netizens were mixed in their reactions towards Irene's gesture due to her 2020 controversy with a staff. This caused Luvies to defend the idol in a separate thread.
"She does treat her staff too, and dancers, she always gives them expensive gifts like AirPods."
"To be fair, I think Irene bore the consequences of her actions and has laid low ever since mostly just doing her part in the group."
"There are other celebs especially male celebs who did stuff worse than her but have not faced any consequences yet."
