Aespa Ningning’s Newest Social Media Account Sparks Mixed Reactions — Fans Express Concern
Korean aespa Fans had mixed reactions afterwards Ningning opened one Weibo Account.
On June 11, Ningning opened a personal Weibo account, which she promoted in a video uploaded to the account. The account follows other personal social media accounts opened by aespa members.
Although fans are excited that Aespa members can communicate directly with fans, some feared that Ningning’s new Weibo account could be a signal that the member will soon focus on promoting in China.
Chinese K-pop idols doing promotion in their home country is nothing new, as idols such as WJSN‘S Cheng Xiao And f(x)‘S Victoria All have made successful transitions in China.
While Korean fans are no doubt happy for the Idols, many have been disappointed that the Idols have rarely advertised in Korea since they focused their promotion in China.
Some netizens reportedly expressed their concerns in online communities, writing that they feared Ningning’s Weibo account meant they would see less of the beloved idol soon. Still, many other netizens reportedly felt the concerns were premature and their fears unfounded.
- “Does that mean she’s going to advertise in China?”
- “Honestly, wouldn’t she feel more comfortable doing publicity in China? It might be better for them to do that.”
- “I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.”
- “It reminds me of Victoria from f(x).”
- “This is a well traveled road for Chinese idols.”
- “Why can’t she open a Weibo account? What’s wrong with you?
- “I’m sure her label gave her permission.”
- “Why are you guys making such a fuss about her opening a Weibo account? Seriously, you guys are hopeless.”
