Aespa Giselle Faces Criticism For Shirtless Picture Showing Off Tattoos
On October 2, Aespa’s Giselle and fellow member NingNing became hot topics when they arrived at the airport in Fukuoka, Japan, for the group’s upcoming concert. Both Giselle and NingNing showed off their temporary back tattoos, catching the attention of many outlets. Giselle then posted a series of pictures flaunting her tattoos.
In the pictures, Aespa’s Giselle appeared to have removed her shirt so her tattoos were clearly visible. Some netizens criticised the Japanese idol for crossing the line or trying too hard to be provocative. Some commentators even wrote personal insults about the idol.
However, many fans to supporters were quick to come to Aespa’s Giselle’s defence. Many pointed out the double standards in K-pop. They pointed out how male idols often pose shirtless for photoshoots and even perform provocative dances on the stage, but are never criticised for it. On the other hand, female idols are often targeted for even minor displays of skin. Fans argued that Giselle’s post was artistic rather than inappropriate, and all the criticism targeted at her is rooted in misogyny.
This controversy comes as aespa has been riding high with their recent activities. The group, consisting of Karina, Winter, Giselle, and NingNing, has been on their 2024 SYNK: Parallel Line world tour, drawing massive crowds across Asia and North America. Aespa Giselle herself has been standing out more with her rapping and stage presence, making her a fan favourite.
