Netizens Respond to Giselle of Aespa Liking Sik-K’s Comment on Instagram
aespa’s Giselle recently sparked an unexpected buzz online after netizens spotted a curious interaction between her and rapper Sik-K on Instagram.
The story started when fans noticed a post Giselle shared on her personal Instagram account on May 27. It was a mix of selfies and random images she gathered from the internet, with the background tune being the song "LOV3 (feat. Bryan Chase and Okasian)" by Sik-K and Lil Moshpit. This seemingly casual link to Sik-K’s track caught attention, especially after Sik-K himself showed up in the comments section beneath the post.
He simply wrote:
"Have to show it again" Sik-K
To add fuel to the fire, Giselle liked this comment, which led to a flurry of surprised reactions from fans and netizens—many unsure they even knew of any connection between the aespa member and the rapper.
One big reason this became a hot topic is Sik-K’s recent legal troubles. Earlier in May, the Seoul Western District Court handed him a 10-year prison sentence, suspended for 2 years of probation, following charges related to illegal drug use. The investigation revealed that Sik-K had used ketamine and ecstasy in October 2023 and marijuana in January 2024. Prior to the court ruling, he voluntarily turned himself in at a police station in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, admitting to possession and consumption of these substances.
This background made many question why Giselle would pick a song by Sik-K and then engage with him publicly, especially since her choice of song is what brought the interaction into the spotlight to begin with. Some fans were clearly bothered by the association, pointing out concerns about her image as a prominent female idol. Others argued it wasn’t a huge deal since Giselle herself is not linked to drugs.
TRENDINGA selection of netizen comments reflects the divided reactions:
"Wait, isn’t he the rapper who did drugs…?"
"Hul……"
"Isn’t he a drug offender?"
"Druggie."
"Dang… of all people, a girl group member.."
"What the……"
"Seriously, was that necessary?"
"Drugs…………really?"
"Probably best not to mention him—he has a drug record…"
"More than Giselle being friends with Sik-K, I dislike the original poster pretending to be innocent while reviving this 4-week-old topic ㅋㅋ"
"Why is it always rappers… aespa really lacks that idol sensitivity, they totally feel like muggles."
"Oh, so he did do drugs."
"But it’s not like Giselle did drugs herself, do we really need to censor every little thing like this…?"
"Nobody would have accused her of anything if she didn’t hit Like…"
"Liking a comment about a drug-using rapper from the group’s official account that all the fans see… that’s genuinely surprising…"
"That’s shady."
"They’re really close with each other."
"This is honestly fascinating…"
"This one does feel kind of unnecessary."
While the post itself has been up for over a month, many only just stumbled upon the interaction and decided to discuss it actively now. Some wonder whether this sort of connection affects how idols should be viewed, while others feel it’s simply a musical preference or casual interaction without deeper meaning.
What’s clear is that the unexpected social media moment between Giselle and Sik-K has stirred mixed feelings and online debates about idol accountability, personal choices, and the impact of past controversies on public relationships.
