MYs have expressed frustration due to the latest instance of wardrobe issues involving aespa. This time, the group's youngest member, NingNing, became a topic of discussion on an online forum, where netizens criticized the stylists and voiced their concerns over recurring wardrobe problems.
On August 11, K-Netz established a community post titled, "Another Outfit Mishap From aespa's Coordi." In the forum, the author emphasized aespa's 'Armageddon' stage during the third day of the group's "SYNK: PARALLEL" concert in Taipei.
The original poster (OP) noted that NingNing was seen holding her outfit during the performance, suggesting that aespa's wardrobe issues remain unresolved.
"The costumes are ripped and falling off every day. This isn't the first or second time. Why aren't they paying more attention?
NingNing's outfit got ripped in the middle, so she had to hold it during the performance. It's not the first time something like this has happened and even though their coordi changed, the problem keeps happening."
The thread attracted many concerned comments. Netizens expressed their frustration with the ongoing wardrobe issues, with some of the comments reading: :
"Can they get the aesthetic right? Seriously how many times has it been?
"Please pay more attention, stylists."
"This is so consistent at this point."
"It's crazy, the pants are ripped, and they avoided a huge accident."
"Even after changing the coordi, this issue keeps on happening, so shouldn't the company start paying more attention? What are they doing?"
"Is it because they don't have enough cordis? Why is it happening?"
"Are they doing this on purpose?
"This is dumbfounding, it makes no sense that this happens every day."
In a separate forum, international fans voiced their concerns, with some suggesting that these incidents might be due to SM Entertainment requesting last-minute changes to stage outfits. Others speculated that the recurring mishaps might be intentional, though this remains unconfirmed.
On platform X (formerly Twitter), the clips instantly sparked outrage among fans. However, some praised NingNing's professional demeanor.
Read their comments below:
"This isn't just unsafe and uncomfortable, but it could also affect their performance since they're more focused on keeping their clothes intact."
"Their stylists need to do better."
"Are they secretly hating aespa?"
"I feel like the reason this keeps happening is because SM always asks for custom alterations for stage outfits at the last minute."
"How come this happens so often? It almost feels intentional because I have never seen this issue happen so many times to a single girl group."
