Aespa’s Giselle Confirms She’s Sending An Important Message With One Frequently Worn Accessory
aespa‘s Giselle has been earning praise from netizens after she confirmed fans’ theories that a simple accessory she frequently wears has an important and heartwarming message of support.
For years, Giselle has been spotted wearing a safety pin pendant necklace from the fine jewelry brand Chrome Hearts.
Giselle was again spotted wearing a safety pin in a series of photos uploaded to her personal Instagram account on July 17.
The post captioned “summer day off” showed Giselle in a trendy, casual outfit while enjoying a nighttime walk.
In a close-up photo of her outfit, Giselle had a safety pin fashioned to her belt loop.
After netizens noticed Giselle frequently wearing safety pins, they wondered if she was wearing them as a sign of support and allyship for vulnerable communities.
The use of safety pins as a sign of support and solidarity was prominently seen in 2016 during a rise in hate crimes against ethnic minorities and immigrants in the United Kingdom following Brexit. The use of safety pins as a sign of allyship began in the United States that same year to show support for victims of hate crimes following Donald Trump’s election.
During aespa’s recent video call event, a MY (aepsa fan) asked Giselle if she wore the safety pin with the intent of sending a message of support.
The fan said to Giselle, “I heard that [wearing the safety pin] means that people can ask you for help when they’re in trouble.” As the fan asked Giselle about it, the talented star confirmed she wore it with that intent. “Yeah, it’s a sign…”
