The controversy came when viewers accused Aespa’s Giselle of lip-syncing a word offensive to the Afro-descendant community. During the photo shoots, the staff used to play songs to make the models feel more relaxed, so the Aespa girls danced and sang with each take.

In an excerpt from the clip, Aespa’s Giselle was singing ‘Love Galore‘ by SZA and allegedly lip syncing the N-word, many captured the moment and shared it on social media, where the community started a debate. Some assured that, she used to live for a time in the United States, so she should have the context of the use of the word, while others asked that she must apologize.

Also there were people who explained that perhaps she did not know the meaning. Now the clip is not found on the Aespa YouTube channel and so far, neither Giselle nor SM Entertainment has set a position on it.
