aespa has taken over the internet with their newest single, ‘Dirty Work’. The music video and the song’s overall vibe have earned praises from fans and critics alike. The song is achieving impressive numbers and has quickly gained millions of views and streams. However, one of the group’s members, Giselle, is making news for a different reason. Read on to know more about it.
Why Is Aespa’s Giselle Facing Flak For Using Rapper Sik-K’s Song On Instagram?
Recently, Giselle posted a series of pictures on Instagram. For these posts, she chose the song ‘LOV3’ by Sik-K and Lil Moshpit. This choice quickly gained attention when Sik-K himself commented on her post. He wrote, “Have to show it again.” Giselle then liked his comment, which led to the K-pop idol receiving criticism from netizens. Well, why is she facing flak? As per reports, the rapper Sik-K was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegal drug use and was also given a suspended sentence for 2 years of probation.
Furthermore, the rapper had voluntarily turned himself in at a police station. And later reports revealed that he has used marijuana, ecstasy, and ketamine between late 2023 and early 2024.
Netizens expressed their disappointment with the K-pop idol’s song selection. They questioned why she would use a song by an artist who had recently been found guilty in a criminal case.
