aespa has been making major moves recently! They dropped their first studio album “Armaggedon” last Monday, and now they’re the new faces of Pokémon Go in South Korea. The quartet was photographed playing with the pocket monsters and enjoying the game! While all fans agree that the girls dazzled in this new campaign, some were concerned about Giselle’s treatment.
MY (that’s the name aespa fans wear proudly) have voiced their dissatisfaction with SM Entertainment‘s handling of Giselle, arguing she has received less promotional focus compared to the other members. This time, fans aren’t too happy with Giselle’s positioning in the thumbnail for the campaign—all the way in the back, while other members are placed in more favorable ways.

As the “Supernova” singers continue to rise in global popularity and become the faces of new brands, like Pokémon Go, fans are all about demanding fair treatment for all 4 members. This only highlights the ongoing challenges MY has gone through when it comes to making sure their girls have the same visibility and opportunities.
