She was accused of being jealous of her own fan.
aespa member Ningning is currently facing fiery backlash over a recent interaction with a female fan.
The controversy stemmed from a now-viral clip of Ningning at a recent fan event where a female fan asked the idol to pose for a few pictures. She obliged by striking a few poses, but her expression remained stoic, leading many to speculate that she was unhappy to be “outshined” by the beautiful fan.

Others also argued that the issue was completely forced, further reflecting how female idols are held to impossible standards.
Icb people are on her back for this she isn’t even doing anything, doesn’t have bored expressions or is being disrespectful
Being a female idol is tougher than the navy
