Video: Fans are pissed over Aespa’s new CF pictures (shocking discrimination of member)

1. [+172] It’s not like there’s anything to lose if you’re nicer to Giselle. What’s best for the group is best for everyone. How upsetting it must be for Giselle to be the only one treated like this. Do they think Giselle’s not even worthy of being a member? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does it hurt anyone to just take her picture?
2. [+164] Hmm.. I may be leaping to conclusions here but why do I feel like this was planned all along? If SM really did put her in the group because of her connections, then they obviously were predicting such an issue to arise. SM doesn’t seem like the type to just trash their own artist like this so why would they allow a company to discriminate against one of their members? I have my doubts that SM didn’t know… From the CF company’s perspective, they have no reason to risk their image by pissing off a fanbase with such obvious acts of discrimination. I personally think SM is trying to use the negative opinions about Giselle, like the comments about her face, how she debuted through connections, how she has no talent, by letting it get far enough where they can flip the narrative and start making people feel sympathy for her. Or not.
3. [+160] I like Giselle but they did her so wrong. They really couldn’t take her one picture? Giselle must be so upset. Take her picture already.
4. [+117] The fact that Giselle got to debut at all means she isn’t being discriminated against. She never had the looks or the talent to debut with a group like Aespa to begin with so the fact that she debuted at all means she’s already been getting special perks and considerations from everyone.
5. [+83] Seeing it laid out like this does seem pretty bad… She’s a human being at the end of it all, did they not think that she would feel hurt?… ㅠㅠ
6. [+52] Giselle’s really charming once you get to know her ㅠㅠ
7. [+24] I’ve never seen such blatant discrimination;;;
8. [+64] I’ve never seen a group with this many controversies do well in the long run… SM is mismanaging this
9. [+42] I don’t like Giselle but I recognize that this is wrong. If SM’s just going to let her be treated like this, why let her debut at all?? Who knew she’d end up with this kind of treatment after all that talk about how she debuted through her network.
10. [+33] Why did SM bother debuting her if they were just going to trash her like this

1. [+264] They should just recruit a new member. Karina and Winter seem to have already done all they can to pull this group as far as they have…
2. [+169] I don’t intend to defend discrimination but it’s normal for companies to treat the more popular members better because even idols are products for sale after all
3. [+171] I never watch group videos of them because their choreography never matches up. There’s a reason people only watch fancams of Karina and Winter. They should just put out a duet together ❤️
4. [+66] Sunny got in through Soo Man’s support but at least she had enough vocal talent to back her position ㅠㅠㅠ!!!
5. [+31] She should just be grateful she got to be in the group at all, I suppose
6. [+176] I’m always amazed that Giselle has fans
7. [+140] But isn’t it normal for companies to promote the more popular members more…
8. [+71] At least Ningning has talent, Giselle has….
9. [+24] With a company like SM, they can usually stick any member in a group (with nepotism or not) and fans will flock to them over any image… but Giselle just has no charm… It’s like they just threw her in there for that Japanese vibe but there’s only so much winter and Karina can do to pull them along by themselves. There are so many new idols who are prettier and fresher, SM needs to cut it out with this Kwangya crap, get Winter a new nose, and just re-debut this group with a new start.
10. [+14] I’ve just never seen a group like them… it’s like a law in the idol industry that if you’re not a visual, you need to be talented
11. [+19] This treatment is deserved, especially when you consider that she only got into SM thanks to her aunt and pushed out all those other talented trainees to take up one spot out of four in a group ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She doesn’t even try to improve her skills, just rides on the coattails of the other members while expecting money and fame in return. With thick skin like that, I doubt she cares about all this talk of discrimination.
12. [+102] Why is this group… always so controversial
13. [+38] This group’s going to flop if they keep going like this… They need to brave up and either switch out the members or add more members to make up for it ㅜㅠ
14. [+12] I have never seen a CF company be so blatant about leaving a member out ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
15. [+115] Ningning has visuals, is charming, talented, strong vocals… it’s no wonder SM adores her. Obviously she was put in the group to ensure a Chinese fandom but as for Giselle.. I really don’t know why she was added at all. You can tell that SM invested a ton in Karina and Winter but as for Giselle.. well…
16. [+53] Wait, Giselle has a fandom?
17. [+32] At this point, I wish SM would just give Ningning and Giselle more lines so that the group can just hard flop and Karina and Winter can promote as two for good ㅋㅋ
