aespa’s Giselle sparks concern with cryptic Instagram post hinting at isolation
aespa’s Giselle has fans worried after a recent Instagram update that appears to hint at personal struggles.
On July 21, Giselle shared a photo dump that included a screenshot of a Naver search with the Korean phrase 낙동강 오리알 (“a duck’s egg on the Nakdong River”). The idiom refers to someone being left out or excluded.
The post quickly gained over one million likes and has become a hot topic among MYs (aespa’s fandom). Many fans are treating the phrase as a subtle call for help or a sign that things aren’t going well for the star.
Some fans pointed to the word as proof of ongoing mistreatment and lack of support from SM Entertainment, citing years of complaints about unequal screen time, styling, and promotions for Giselle.
“istg I’m not a sensitive person toward something, but when giselle posted this idk anymore. We’re so fuckin tired, can you imagine her going through this shit EVERYDAY? fuck everyone, fuck you sm!” — Twitter user skrr
“Is it coincidence? I think it’s not” — Twitter user skrr
“i don’t want to say ‘giselle i hope you’re okay’ cz ik she’s not okay. She’s tired of all this but can’t express it clearly. I just hope that giselle can get out of that fuckass company and start her own career with her new company.” — Twitter user araa ᡣ𐭩.ᐟ
“Some dense people on kpop twt thinking Giselle mistreatment is all about clothes or hair is actually pissing me off like her blatant mismanagement and mistreatment for years goes beyond that and we need to call it what it is ‘xenophobia’” — Twitter user @ihygslle
While some believe the phrase could simply be a new word she found, the timing and past controversies flare suspicion. Fans demand SM Entertainment address Giselle’s well-being amid these concerns.
aespa is gearing up for a comeback, but eyes remain on Giselle with hopes she gets the support she needs.
