Aespa's Ningning opens her own Weibo account
Article: "Aespa fans in shock" Chinese member Ningning is the only one to open Chinese SNS Weibo
Source: Insight via Instagram
[+290] She's Chinese to the bone, what do you expect... Not only is she only here to make money, she's potentially tainting Aespa's image as well... so just let her take her money and go.
- [+6] Let her go where? She never said she's leaving. Instagram is banned in China so she opened a Weibo to communicate with her Chinese fans, what's the big deal.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+170] No one's shocked over this, you fools. Chinese members in other idol groups all have their own Weibos, and tons of Korean idols have actually opened their own as well. She's been suffering for years in our country just to be treated like she's going to run back to China, and I'll make note of you all! Leave Ningning alone~~!!
[+150] I don't get why our country makes such a big deal out of this. It's not like we send our artists overseas and expect them to change ethnicities to wherever they're working in? Ningning has always been Chinese, and she's only here to work here, not become a Korean citizen. Stop treating her like trash and assuming the worst of her...
[+130] I never know what the true motives behind the decisions Chinese idols make are. I heard that once Chinese idols gain enough experience here, they get a ton of offers and pressure from Chinese investors.
[+109] It can't be helped. There's already a set precedent of Chinese idols who gain enough experience and fame going back to China. Just look at SM's history. They may no longer be promoting in our country but they're all active back home.
- [+21] But what else do you expect them to do? Even our own Korean idols have to find other career paths once their idol careers fizzle out, and you can't expect the foreign members to launch acting careers here? And companies stop giving you comebacks after their focus shifts to their new rookie group...
- NCT has the biggest ratio of Chinese members and they're all still here, so what's your problem again?
[+45] No one's shocked
[+44] What? ㅋㅋ All of the Chinese members in NCT have Weibos... and did any of them run away?... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+33] No one in Aespa's fanbase is shocked ㅋㅋㅋ All this nonsense over creating an SNS account in her own country. I feel like anyone who's assuming the worst of her are just egging her on to live up to their assumptions...
[+21] Oh, shut up. There are a ton of other groups who have Weibo accounts but of course people are the worst to Ningning about it.
[+10] All of SM's Chinese artists have Weibos. Why would you expect her not to have one?
[+6] What are people going on about. She's never said she was going back to China. She made a Weibo because China has a VPN ban on SNS and there's no other way for her to communicate with her Chinese fans. This is the same as if we were hating on a Korean star in China for creating a Korean SNS account. I don't get why people are so mean to a kid who came here because she loves our country and has actually undergone the longest training period out of Aespa... With all this hate, I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to leave at all. I know that a lot of Chinese idols have moved to China, not just in SM, but there are still a lot of hard-working Chinese idols left here, and it's unfair to jump to assumptions and hate about them before they've even done anything.
[+2] This type of hate helps no one. It's like hating on a Korean star who's working in another country for opening a Naver blog account. Unbelievable to hate on a Chinese star for opening an SNS account from her own country ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You all expect way too much from idols who only have so many years in their career anyway.
