Aespa’s Ningning Admits She Searches Her Name Online 13 Times A Day, Explains Why
Aespa‘s Ningning appeared on Episode 116 of Lee Mujin Service. She sang various song covers and answered questions about her trainee life and current idol career.
Regarding the latter, host Lee Mu Jin was surprised by Ningning’s internet habits. She apparently searches up her name online multiple times a day despite the chances of reading hate comments.
I heard you search your own name over 20 times a day. Is that true?
— Lee Mu Jin
Ningning responded that this was somewhat false.
That’s actually an exaggeration.

Instead of searching what people are commenting over 20 times a day, the number is closer to 13 to 15.
Ningning: It’s more like…
Lee Mu Jin: 15 times then?
Ningning: Yes!
Lee Mu Jin: 13 times?
Ningning: Yeah, maybe?
She explained herself, saying that it is only natural to monitor netizen reactions when she has a new song, show, photo or other activity lined up.
It’s just that if something I did is released today, I look it up, of course.

The aespa member defended herself as well, quickly explaining that she does this not out of vanity but out of curiosity. She agreed with Lee Mu Jin’s assessment that “It’s not about self-love, it’s more like checking how [she] did.”
I’m curious to see the reactions. [It’s basically] monitoring.
