• aespa‘s Giselle Admits Deleting All "Black Mamba" Era Photos

    Giselle recently attended a fansign event for aespa, where she participated in a game of rock-paper-scissors with a lucky fan.

    Unfortunately, she lost the game, and as a result, had to grant a wish for the winner. It was during this interaction that Giselle made a surprising revelation.

    The fan, taking advantage of their victory, asked Giselle if she could share some throwback photos from aespa's debut era in 2020, when they released their single "Black Mamba".

    However, instead of complying with the request, Giselle admitted that she had actually deleted all the photos from that time. Her reason? She believed she didn't look good during the "Black Mamba" era.

    It turns out that aespa faced a lot of pressure when they were first introduced to the public, particularly when it came to their appearance.

    Giselle, in particular, was heavily scrutinized for her looks. This revelation has left fans concerned that Giselle's decision to delete the photos may be a result of the negative and hurtful comments she received, leading to feelings of self-consciousness.

    But as time has passed, Giselle has undergone a transformation. She has not only gained a newfound confidence but has also developed her own unique style.

    The public has taken notice, and both her beauty and talent are now being recognized and acknowledged by fans and critics alike.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
