Netizens Call Out aespa’s Stylists After Wardrobe Malfunctions Forced Giselle To Leave The Stage At “KAMP LA 2022”
The members of aespa were one of the most exciting acts to perform at KAMP LA 2022. But while their performance earned them praise, fans were outraged to see that member Giselle was forced to contend with wardrobe malfunctions.
Giselle and her members have been gaining attention ever since they first set out to the US. From their kind behavior toward fans to their unreal visuals in New York, aespa have had all eyes on them.

Naturally, their performance in Los Angeles was no exception. They each showcased their incredible range, including their impressive live vocals and stage presence.

Giselle made MYs proud with her performance, particularly considering that she faced some difficulties with her outfit, as she was dressed in a short skirt and a tube top.
While the outfit certainly looked great, fans noticed that she seemed to be uncomfortable in it, having to constantly fix it while she was onstage.
Giselle can be seen in the first few seconds running backstage to get her outfit fixed. Saw some more fancams capturing Gi constantly having to run off to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. Man does she always get the short end of a stick. Entirely upsetting.pic.twitter.com/ojUnM85IYB

In fact, she even left the stage several times to go and get help from staff, leading fans to criticize her stylists.
u know it’s fucking serious when giselle had to run backstage multiple times because of her uncomfortable outfit.

u aint gonna tell us Giselle’s fit is fine when she went in & out of the stage for a few times, our concerns are valid

This is not the first time fans criticize aespa’s stylists for the way they dressed Giselle. During her “ZOO” stage with NCT at SMTOWN LIVE 2022, Giselle was also seen trying to hold down her skirt and even toning down her dance due to her discomfort over the skirt’s length.
Yet, just like at SMTOWN LIVE 2022, her professionalism shone through. Netizens praised her for still giving the performance her all…
She did ALL THIS even with a wardrobe malfunction

Not only that, but she also addressed the issue on social media later, keeping a positive attitude and even saying, “But tbf my outfit was cute tho,” gaining praise from fans for her take on the issue.

Fans are now calling on SM Entertainment to address the problem and ensure that neither Giselle nor her members have to deal with it again, especially since it happened more than once.
We will understand if this is the first time, but this happened not just once or twice. That girl is working so hard for u, for us, and for herself, if you can't treat her like a VIP then treat her as a regular idol who needs good support from her team#GiselleDeservesBetter

What’s more, this time it even led to translation issues: Giselle is the English speaker in the group but since her wardrobe malfunctions forced her to leave the stage, aespa were left at a bit of a loss as to how to communicate with the audience. There was a translator there, but according to fans, the members were mainly relying on Giselle.
giselle had problems with her top so she went backstage right as they were going to greet everyone so aespa just stood there looking lost and when karina said smth in korean she paused and said “oh there’s no translation” in eng

oomf got it on video to they probably didn’t think aespa would need a translator because they have giselle but ofc anything can happen during their set and giselle had to keep going off stage in between the songs to fix her outfit pic.twitter.com/ptd38iwsw6 https://t.co/ETbWjmBBNh
