Aespa Fans Are Calling Out SM Entertainment For Once Again Allegedly Mistreating Giselle
Aespa fans have never hesitated to demand fair treatment for all the members, especially for Giselle, who has often recieved different treatment from her members.
Most recently, fans are voicing their frustration with SM Entertainment after Giselle told fans that she had to specifically ask for her Spotify playlist to be included in aespa’s profile. Although aespa’s official Twitter announced Giselle’s playlist on September 1…
Fans were struggling to find it on the official account.
And fans were extra frustrated that Giselle told them she specifically asked SM Entertainment to upload the playlist. Fans assumed that her comment meant that SM Entertainment hadn’t otherwise planned to share the playlist.
While, fortunately, her playlist is now visible on aespa’s official Spotify account, fans are voicing their frustration with the alleged mistreatment Giselle has suffered since her debut.

The thread included when MLB Korea mistreated Giselle by excluding her from their styling guide; fans could only click on Karina, Winter, and NingNing‘s guides.
It's useless that you make them be a global ambassador, one of member is being treated unfairly by you.

Although Giselle has been continually praised for her professionalism despite technical difficulties during recent performances, fans cannot help but be frustrated with SM Entertainment since the problems continue to happen.

Giselle even addressed the technical difficulties, further proving her professionalism on stage.
these are some of the times media outlets and sm excluded her, sm also didn’t pay attention to the technical difficulties she faced during SMTOWN which lead her to facing these difficulties throughout the concerts pic.twitter.com/aBbnWqUUcE

MBC has also come under fire from aespa fans after The Manager mislabeled the members, like the show captioning Winter as the main vocalist of aespa rather than NingNing.
For those seeking the context of #TheOnlyMainVocalNINGNING
This is the caption from yesterday’s @withMBC The Manager, that construes the misleading statement of aespa’ official position and severely impacts Ningning’s position.@SMTOWNGLOBAL Please protect your youngest idol. pic.twitter.com/sGZYJb7wiI

The show also excluded Giselle from the thumbnail, which was sadly unsurprising to fans.
and of course giselle is left out of the thumbnails, as always. it's like second nature now and people really dont give a fuck when it comes to her. pic.twitter.com/xdVouhHtkO

Although aespa has opened up about their currently strong mentalities while dealing with hate comments, fans are understandably concerned about the mistreatment that Giselle often has to endure.
giselle got so much mistreatment from her company, staffs, the brands she represent together with the members, some medias blurred and cropped her out and didn't post her solo shots from gayo daejun, so much mistreatment that's making me insane as her fan
