aespa's Giselle to Miss 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2023' Due to Health Reasons

In unfortunate news for fans of K-pop group aespa, member Giselle will be absent from the upcoming 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2023' following her recent appearance on the popular variety show 'Ask Us Anything'.

On June 7th, SM Entertainment, the agency representing aespa, took to their official Twitter account to deliver the announcement.

According to the statement released by the agency, aespa's Giselle will be unable to participate in 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2023' due to health issues.

SM Entertainment expressed their regret in informing American fans that Giselle will not be able to join the highly anticipated Governors Ball performance.

Scheduled to take place on June 10th in New York, 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2023' had initially included aespa as one of the main stage acts.

However, with Giselle's absence, it is now expected that only Karina, Winter, and Ningning will grace the stage.

Concerns among fans have escalated as Giselle had previously missed the recording of JTBC's 'Ask Us Anything' due to deteriorating health.

Supporters have been voicing their thoughts, emphasizing the importance of Giselle's well-being and expressing hopes for her to take some time to rest.

Despite this setback, aespa is preparing to embark on their first solo concert, titled 'SYNK: HYPER LINE,' which will mark the beginning of their comprehensive tour spanning North America and Europe.

Following their performances in Jakarta, Indonesia on June 24th and the Tokyo Dome on August 5th and 6th, the group will kick off their first solo concert in Los Angeles on August 13th.

This will be followed by shows in Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, and eight other cities across the United States.

In September, aespa is set to tour six major cities in South America and Europe, including Mexico City, São Paulo in Brazil, Santiago in Chile, Berlin in Germany, London in the United Kingdom, and Paris in France.

Fans eagerly await further updates on Giselle's health and extend their support and well-wishes to the talented artist.

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
