aespa’s Giselle Addresses Appearance Comments With Brutal Honesty

aespa’s Giselle is facing backlash after openly addressing harsh comments about her weight and appearance during a recent livestream.

The controversy began when Giselle answered a fan’s question about her weight loss. She didn’t hold back, saying:

“You guys talk about my looks a lot…That’s really all you talk about when it comes to me.”

Giselle explained that weight naturally fluctuates over time, revealing she lost around 10 kgs over the past seven years. She added:

“Things like that happen, as you age as well.”

The idol also shared that she has ADHD, which sometimes affects her appetite. Despite trying to gain weight for more energy, she admitted:

“Because it’s true, I don’t have a lot of energy.”

She went on to confess how difficult it is to stay healthy as a K-Pop idol.

When a viewer commented that she looked “older,” Giselle fired back coolly:

“Cause I am older. What the f*ck?”

She sarcastically noted she will continue to age and look older, making it clear she’s tired of shallow remarks.

Fans quickly reacted online, praising Giselle’s honesty and bravery for speaking out about the pressures idols face. Many called for respect and understanding instead of constant scrutiny over her appearance.

One fan tweeted:

“It’s so rare to see an idol break character and talk about the problems in the industry… she’s actually changing industry and setting a new example for how artists use their voice.”

Another added:

“Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this one of the very few times where an idol has directly said/admitted that it is in fact very difficult to remain healthy doing this profession? Like that is admirable as f*ck wow.”

Others urged people to stop dissecting Giselle’s looks and focus on her talent and personality instead.

This candid livestream has left a strong impression on netizens, highlighting the harsh realities behind the glamorous K-Pop image and the toll it takes on idols like Giselle.
