aespa’s Ningning Bombarded With Hate Comments For “Disrespecting” BLACKPINK’s Jennie

The controversy that exploded following BLACKPINK Jennie’s Melon Music Awards performance shows no signs of slowing down.

Multiple idols faced heated reactions from Korean netizens for not reacting to Jennie’s set of her hit solo songs, “Seoul City,” “Zen,” and “Like Jennie.” Even though they all got up and danced during G-Dragon and EXO’s sets, the idols remained “disrespectfully” still during Jennie’s set according to Koreans.

In particular, several aespa members faced a lot of heat. Giselle’s posture during Jennie’s stage was harshly criticised on X.

Now, Ningning is facing a myriad of hate comments on Instagram. Netizens are calling the aespa star “jealous”

Others left overwhelmingly negative comments about Ningning’s visuals and accused her of trying to copy the BLACKPINK star.

Due to the sheer amount of negative comments under Ningning’s posts on her personal account, fans are organising themselves to leave positive comments en masse.

Many have also defended Ningning’s reaction to Jennie’s performance. The aespa member was suffering from a cold and had been treated at the hospital merely hours before she had to attend the Melon Music Awards. Due to her illness, she missed out on the ceremony’s red carpet and multiple award wins with only three aespa members present for the majority of the show.
