aespa Giselle Faces Backlash Over Controversial Thong Outfit On Stage
aespa’s Giselle is facing backlash after her recent Music Bank outfit went viral for all the wrong reasons.
The controversy began when Giselle wore a skin-toned Jean Paul Gaultier sheer top paired with Namilia’s “Belted Thong Pants” during the performance.
The black faux-leather wide-leg trousers with a thong-style waistband sparked strong reactions among Korean netizens. Fans also pointed out that the printed sheer top layered underneath created a jarring optical illusion whenever she moved on stage.
Fans quickly reacted online, flooding comments with criticism about the bold styling choice. Many expressed disbelief and discomfort over the outfit’s design.
“No but I genuinely wish they’d put some restrictions on stuff like that”
“Ugh… seriously… that’s too far”
“I usually let most outfits slide, but this one is actually a bit much…”
“What is this… why does an outfit like that even exist in the first place”
“It’s shameful”
One viral post on TheQoo summed up the reaction:
“aespa Giselle’s outfit going viral for being way too much
The pants design is one thing, but the shading and print on the tights layered underneath are genuinely beyond the pale…
The optical illusion when she moves is just way too much”
Idol outfits often face scrutiny, but Giselle’s recent Music Bank look has drawn some of the harshest criticism yet. As the situation unfolded, fans continued debating the outfit’s impact and appropriateness.
