aespa Members Scathingly Criticized For Allegedly Inconveniencing General Public

Fans who attended Doja Cat’s concert in Seoul on December 13 are speaking out online, claiming that two K-Pop idols refused to sit down, blocking the view of the audience behind them, causing growing frustration throughout the venue.

According to multiple fan accounts circulating on social media and online communities, the idols stood for long portions of the show, making it difficult for others to enjoy the concert.

Many fans believe the idols in question were aespa’s Giselle and Ningning, who were both seen attending the concert last night.

They were criticized for their actions.
