Aespa NingNing’s Reaction to Question Regarding Her Sexuality Draws Significant Attention
aespa’s NingNing is facing heat after her answer about her sexuality during a recent Instagram live.
The controversy began when a fan asked NingNing, “Do you like girls or boys?” On the spot, NingNing replied in a cryptic way that quickly went viral.
“Why are you asking me that? Why are you asking me that? What do you mean? What do you mean? I love human, okay. Oh actually, I don’t like humans, I like cats. Is that a nice answer?” – NingNing
This moment was shared widely on Twitter and drew mixed reactions from netizens.
NingNing’s fans and the public debated her response. Some praised her for handling an invasive question in a clever way.
“okay but the way ningning answered that question was smart tho” – @aevenile
Others criticized fans for asking about her sexuality in the first place and called for respecting idols’ privacy.
“a person’s sexuality, regardless if they’re an idol or not,, is none of ur business,, why would someone even ask her that ” – @seireneity_
Some fans pointed to NingNing’s past relationships to speculate on her sexuality, adding fuel to the discussion.
“she literally had a masc ex situationship and a hot gf right now” – @kkiusgf
Amid the debate, some reacted to how fandoms treat queer representation inconsistently.

Others just called out fans to stop crossing boundaries.
“jokes aside but please don’t ask things like this again it’s rude. know your limits as a fan” – @vierte_ne
