On June 11th, aespa NingNing opened her personal Weibo account. She also uploaded a video to deliver her greeting and promised to share daily activities with fans on Weibo. This news spread to various Korean online communities, and netizens are showing divided responses.
In particular, theqoo users commented:
- Please, please, please… I hope NingNing and other Chinese idols just return to their homeland and work there happily
- I don’t want Chinese kids to debut in Korea anymore
- There seem to be many shamans here in theqooㅋㅋㅋㅋShe has never said anything like ‘One China’ or something. She just created an account and you guys are already making such a mess? ㅋㅋㅋ
- Many Chinese idols opened Weibo accounts, why are you guys criticizing only NingNing?
- That’s why I hate idol groups with Chinese members
- She didn’t do anything and didn’t post about politics, but some people here are acting like she has done that
- I’m not an aespa fan but isn’t Weibo just a kind of SNS? What’s wrong with the reactions?
- Since there have been so many scandals related to Chinese idols, lots of people are still having prejudices against them…
