aespa NingNing’s Viral Reaction To Male Idols Moving Too Close To Her

Aespa‘s NingNing is going viral for her reaction to male idol members on a Japanese how.

On July 3, aespa made an appearance on the Japanese show The Weekly 99 Music.

Towards the end of the show, all the idols involved had time in front of the camera, and some male idols didn’t miss their chance to show off their personality.

As the male idol members made their way back into the crowd of artists for the final scenes, NingNing was seen backing away and moving closer to Giselle as the members got closer.

Netizens quickly found out that the members in the video were BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE.

When the video was posted, netizens couldn’t get over NingNing’s reaction to the male idols, and the OG video with the caption, “NingNing, it’s so funny I can’t stop laughing” was watched over 3 million times in under 24 hours.

Some fans also pointed out that the stage itself was extremely cramped, so NingNing’s reaction would’ve been trying to avoid physical contact on a stage full of artists, and many Japanese fans sympathized with the idol after the male idols got quite close.

ningning was trying to both distance and cover herself bc they were moving back. if yall have seen the whole frame, there were a lot of artists on stage and it looked so cramped. she's afraid they might bump into her. https://t.co/gkuFOIK0uo

Stupid, funny.
NingNing, sorry.

Considering the assumptions and rumors arising when female and male idols get close, even if they can’t avoid it due to spacing, NingNing’s reaction isn’t too surprising.
