Idol Deep Dive: Giselle (aespa)

[@HeEDee137]

before giselle came into the scene, the 3 memebers were messing with pink girlie concepts. it was revealed in their documentry, giselle was the reason why aespa has this known for the metallic concept,

[@joygiful4711]

and now they barely give her rap parts☹️

[@aenergy.922]

Giselle didn’t stick out to me when I first got into æspa but now I can’t imagine the group without her. She has quickly become a top fav of mine and seems the most approachable? The friend comparison is really the best analogy to describe her.

[@aenergy.922]

Btw would love to see you do a video on Shinee’s Key! I believe he is also one who constantly retried for SM’s auditions

[@deftoneslover]

me too put my feelings into words

[@_linlin_]

Lol I was quite the opposite. She gives me Nana character vibe and I really liked her when they came out!

[@444gigixu]

Same! Now she is my ult bias 😚

[@JunJunMusume]

The great thing about Giselle is just how light hearted and joyful she is. It feels like she is so easygoing pretty much anyone could be friends with her.

[@Smoses_senpai]

She makes it look really easy

[@gntlmonst0427]

"when life gives you a lemon - make mojitos" the most iconic line of her

[@qhdevon]

the only things i can say abt my girl is that people try so hard to deny giselle's popularity not knowing her popularity in japan,she is so talented,she can rap,has some experience for writing songs and has been in the choir. never changing my bias in aespa,shes my no1 since their debut.

[@Maestro_Wonu]

Me too! She’s mother

[@staychellin5905]

same here! i've been a giselle girl since day 1, literally no regrets 🖤 watching her throughout the past years makes me feel like a proud friend

[@FlecheDeFer]

She always gives me the feeling that she is really smart, and she is SWAAAAG

[@deadmansquestions]

i love seeing positive videos about giselle on here 😭 i biased her since savage but all i saw was hate videos before recently.. ur an angel

[@Mels_existance]

her cake in supernova having: "that's hot" is so iconic😭

[@sabrinamauliddya8803]

Thank you for making this video. Truly showcased what SM couldn't these past years. Giselle to me is an embodiment of growth, be it as an artist or as an individual. Really love her vibes and talent. Hopefully she get to show them soon.

[@Iovegood]

thank you for making this video about giselle!!

[@taeyongscheeks]

So happy for this video. Love Aeri so much. She is admirable and so sweet. I love her so much.

[@lol2461]

Love this video... I definitely didn't understand Giselle at first, but through watching interviews like the DIVE podcast with Eric Nam, I see how charming and intelligent she really is.

[@briangarcia8384]

She's actually so cool.

[@aespakwangya8146]

I love Giselle since she debut days ...she true gem in aespa & best female rapper in kpop ‼️

[@loveyc.p9984]

Thank you for making this video about Aeri ❤ I wish for her to shine more & achieve what she wanna be 🫶 singer rapper model actress you will always got my support Aeri-chan ❤️

[@fatimatmercury6859]

Just stumbled upon your channel and my God..among sea of channels who just have to shit on idols for no reason..this is just such a breath of fresh air ❤

[@mimiokoi]

She was the first to catch my eye in black mamba. She seems so cool.

[@rarazzahraa]

my G! thank uuu for this. She’s the best 🥺💜🌙

[@fellipe.s2]

i love giselle so much, she grow up so much in my life, love love love so so so much

[@blueflames6550]

so so so so very proud of you aeri 🖤

[@beatrizlopes4685]

Queen Giselle I am proud of you 🤍

[@wades2132]

When you see their clips from a couple of years ago when aespa appeared on a brief segment on The Daily Show, she was really enthusiastic and eager to play and joke around with Roy Wood, who was hosting the bit. She played along and made good jokes. Ning ning did too, but Giselle was really with it there. She made it fun.

[@Stxtss]

Giselle is mysterious. She loves her privacy.

[@hattorihanzo5707]

Love this!

[@karinaeong]

i love her so much

[@MyAccountWithNoShame]

You are so good at this and your edits blow my mind because I can only think about how much time that would take to do LOL. I hope someday your channel gets big enough you might be able to reach out to some of these idols directly and involve them. I think a lot of them would really like what you're doing here.

[@johnsthetic]

Aeri has always been special to me after my bias Ning Ning and I really gets very friendly and genuine vibes from here😂❤ She’s one of the very sweetest girls ❤ I would like you to cover someone who’s not under appreciated but so damn freaking misunderstood and there’s lot of people who are just mad that she exists; Wonyoung . As you said about Giselle for me wonyoung is also someone who’s been so goos even after having a very extraordinary life. If you can please do wonyoung idol deep dive ❤️

[@joonoval]

I heckin love Ben Atmos

[@GeneratedName314]

Please do Winter, Haerin and Yeji! These videos are super well made by the way cant wait for Minji!

[@bajeebies]

Damn Giselle’s bday is like 3 days after my lil bro’s 🫨

[@gwenbar8144]

I feel like she's the one who has the most potential in the group with a real celebrity aura, she could be that diva yk, but for some reason she doesn't really stand out, and it's kind of disappointing, I've always thought she was the most interesting one in the group but she sadly never catches my attention

[@actuallynotaperson5846]

Yo your content is amazing

[@hisimp5120]

I love her even tho she is my least favourite aespa member she’s so talented and good she doesn’t deserve the hate she received

[@kxrinasfang1rl]

anyways stan ot4

[@ojthagreatest]

🔥🔥😁

[@darkinferno9068]

She was the sweetest girl i knew❤beside Miyeon though

[@lnng5296]

pls do itzy yeji or ive yujin

[@moonaries24]

she somehow suit with XG but also not but yeah she is swaggy sexy

[@eniVrie]

She can fit XG if she practices dancing with them since the start. Dance is her weakness, while XG has hard choreography.

[@rosesnakehole4425]

Do ning ning bro

[@ixnvincible]

I'm curious about your take on BTS.

[@Jeilatin143]

I hope you do an ITZY member next~❤

[@chaenra]

Please do enhypen next! ❤

[@aborins]

He's doing Minji next, it was revealed at the end.

[@chaenra]

Okay! but I hope he does enhypen eventually. @@aborins

[@LoveandAbove]

From what I have heard and read, I believe the Japanese father is her stepfather. Her real father is Korean and in fact, she is 100% fully Korean.

[@AB-yk2pq]

She calls herself Japanese and have their citizenship, she's known as a foreigner in Korea which is more of a disadvantage than advantage. Even if she has Korean father, she introduced herself as both Korean and Japanese with typical Japanese last name and even name and we should respect that.

[@kimikouriko464]

Her name is literally Aeri Uchinaga though and she has japanese nationality

[@shaquilled]

Uchinaga is not a Korean name

[@LoveandAbove]

@@shaquilled So from what I heard, Uchinaga is her stepfather’s last name and she adopted his last name.

[@eniVrie]

​@@LoveandAboveHer appearance literally looks like Japanese

[@nmixxrideordie]

I just wish her photocards sold for more bc I have a lot of her but don’t Stan aespa that much, since she said the n word and now “supports the genocide” by promoting certain products, so tons of ppl dislike her now more than ever. Winter and Karina photocards sell like hotcakes for a high price meanwhile Giselle is sitting around collecting dust and sells for less than a McDouble

[@jelly7411]

yeah its obvious you dont stan them cause the “support the genocide” is not even intentional and she deleted the photos after fans told her about the whole boycotting. she apologized about the n word and never did it again its not even considered racist bc she didn’t intentionally mock the community and she held herself accountable unlike other idols.

[@nmixxrideordie]

@@jelly7411 I don’t fault Giselle for any of this, but it’s just a fact that these are some of the big things people hate on her for, and people have “unstanned” her, making her photocards not as expensive as winter for example. I’m black and am mature enough to realize black people are just as racist towards white people, so I’m not personally offended by her use of the word and I think it’s not that big of a deal, people need to get over themselves, especially when it’s usually everyone except black people that are mad about it on the internet. I can’t stand people talking about this boycott stuff because instead of actually doing anything they’ll hold everyone else to a higher standard than themselves and expect people to follow their little internet cookie point crusade. These issues don’t affect 98% of the people boycotting or talking about it, they’re just clout chasing a war. I just want McDonald’s because it’s cheap and good, idgaf ab anything else, just like lgbtq+ people hating chick fil a bc they sponsored something. They still make good food, expecting people to just stop buying it because Pennies from their order goes towards an incredibly indirect way of “funding the genocide” is complete nonsense. And I don’t “stan” aespa bc I don’t really vibe w the members as much as a group like Nmixx, and their music is alright but the kwangya stuff was cringe to me especially how the lyrics of their song was basically a lore dump, now that they’re done w that stuff I think the music is better but just not my taste, I think they’re overrated compared to an underrated group like nmixx Anyways stream easy and smart by le sserafim and Stan loona

[@jelly7411]

@@nmixxrideordie oh so you do not care about people dyng bc it doesn’t affect you directly oh i see youre that type of person. Also if you dont even stan them why are you even under this post commenting about your fake concerns.

[@nmixxrideordie]

@@jelly7411 whether I care or not, what will that do for them? Same thing as thoughts and prayers. Great concept! But how does that help anything? If I cared, then what? Ok I care, and how does that stop them from dying? If you can’t answer that with a solution on how me caring with change anything then I suggest you stop looking for attention on the internet by telling everyone how much you care! I promise those people dying don’t care about your thoughts or prayers

[@nmixxrideordie]

@@jelly7411 because i just don’t like Giselle because I only pull her photocards when I buy their album and now that I’m selling photocards her being the least liked member is very unfortunate for my wallet and I like hating and trolling

[@0med]

Gigi my goat

[@AB-yk2pq]

Honestly sad to see how Giselle is misjudged in general K-pop community. From people saying she had connection in SME despite the fact she's admitted she got rejected 3 times before training, to getting reputation of "lazy" idol at some point even though Karina said she practices a lot and Giselle literally shared her dance practices outside of Aespa's schedule and recently Giselle admitted she had/has poor health condition in their upcoming movie and we could tell that by her hiatuses. It's nice to see that she's never losing motivation.

[@Caramelboii91]

And saying racial slurs

[@AB-yk2pq]

​@@Caramelboii91The way, this video and comment are talking about her idol activities, yet your comment is supposed to bring...what to the conversation? She isn't the first or last idol to do so, she's apologised and you're choosing whatever or not to consume the content about her.

[@katgreer6113]

​@Rib_bs Are you insane? Your racism is showing. People can say bad words in their songs if they want to. I'm a black girl who's NOT offended by what Giselle did but your comment is just dumb and racist. Even Giselle herself who has so much respect for black artists would hate this bs you're spewing.

[@blink_____jenniequeen6670]

​@@Caramelboii91 she's the only idol who apologizes for "lipsync" slur and never did it again. Also she isn't even raised in America.... She's japenese

[@zakariabey3980]

@@Caramelboii91 it happened nearly 4 years ago... she was jamming to a song and lipsynced it. Fans called her out on bubble explaining why it was wrong, so she literally apologized the same week. she never called anyone a slur, she didn't insult anybody, she was jamming to a song... ofc it was wrong, but y'all should rlly know the difference between racism and racial insensitivity/ignorance

[@zephfyre5167]

Giselle has so much potential. Why isn't SM making use of it? Her rapping skills has swagger, flow and a bite to it, so sad it's not being utilize fully. If there are representative colors in Aespa, Giselle's would be black - mysterious, chill, determined, and resilient. She's quite a fashionista and a visual, too like her members. Her impeccable English made her relatable to international audience. And she can nail really good facial expressions. I love watching her TikToks with fellow members.

[@strangealpha8961]

she's too edgy for SM to doing that. it would ruin SM Disney image. that's why they giving Zoo unit the platform to put out her swaggy side. SM rap lines are designed to be more sophisticated, not aggressive. once they knew Giselle, they knew they can make her like Iggy Azalea type.

[@nuzulhaziq]

​@@strangealpha8961 SME should explore more of their artists' potential

[@tarteel268]

I fully blame SM for the misjudgement and underestimation of Giselle. My favourite rap piece of hers is the one she wrote by herself for her synk video, both her and Karina always talk about wanting to write lyrics, Giselle in particular talked about her interest in music making but the company isn't giving them the chance to explore and learn, unfortunately that's just how SM operates. They are starting to loosen up a bit by allowing them to take part in writing their solo songs now but I really hope we get to see more in the future.

[@shiningning_]

Aespa has performed solo song in their concert. Giselleeee my girllll sang DOPAMINE which she wrote and composed. So proud of her!

[@ChrisHuang-x5u]

Giselle pre debut background is really interesting for me since from day one they debuted. Where can you find idol from the past and today got a background as choir member in pre debut days who used to compete in choir competition overseas, part of Vocal Ensemble who actually won gold and school place 2nd overall in International Choir Competition in Netherlands back in 2019 and at the same time active in theatrical play. Her pre debut activities sold me to her as the most musically inclined member of Aespa and artist in SM. Too bad SM would rather die than giving her opportunities to sing, rap or compose in her career. Such a wasted talent.

[@gino97r]

More recently, I think Dopamine (her solo song in their 2nd concert) is showcasing her many talents!

[@lemonnnkake]

didn’t know she got rejected and kept coming back. She’s very admirable. Your deep dives are amazing I hope you can make one on natty from kiss of life I feel like there’s lots to talk about

[@_dionne]

I'm honestly glad that she took time to finish school before going for the dream. She probably is the only member who experienced a much freer life growing up and not tied up to a dream early on. Like she got the time in school to explore her craft and what she trully likes. And that is actually the most relatable part of growing up, exploring. That's why we see her as like a friend and maybe that's why she continues to allow us to see her outside of that limelight through her vlogs. I mean, her vlogs seems like how ordinary people filmed their day. She wanted us to have a glimpse of what she trully is without the fancy stuff. Her honesty and her raw emotions are what I admired the most. She acknowledges her setbacks and continues to be better at them. For me, her growth has been the most evident in all of the newer idols. Her choosing to be better means she loves what she does. I hope people will stop denying the massive growth she has and start looking deeper onto her. Coz she's more than what most people perceived her.

[@kaizent_]

I love Giselle sm and it's somewhat sad that despite her best efforts to showcase her talent, there are people out there who only seek to denigrate who she is and her work.

[@Aye--.--]

She whipped out DOPAMINE!!! She told us on Eric Nam Daebak show a month ago that she kinda feels lost musically, but still she took a huge part in composing and writing the lyrics of Dopamine. The song's unreal. It's so vibey and addictive.

[@socialllinks]

LOL love the editing you did with her auditioning and getting rejected over and over. Really good deep dive video! Her passion and motivation is so inspirational. Also nice diagonal stripes

[@strangealpha8961]

now knowing that without her there won't be aespa exist, i'm gonna keep praising her more and more. y'all akgae/solo stans can keep crying in your ugly closets. from day-1 i know she's that B, you know. she's truly the backbone of the group. we love you Gigi!!!

[@catsinni]

I love Giselle's energy she is really the queen of IDGAF on the haters she deserves every good in the world!

[@imjustherefortheks]

aespa is the only group, I think, that I like all girls equally... I can't imagine it without any of them... They are all gorgeous, they seem to be far from polemics (I might be wrong because I don't know that much about kpop "idols"), and their music is fantastic... They are one of the most talented 4th gen groups vocal wise... And about Giselle, she is kinda "the girl I wish I was friends with"... She seems a nice person... They all seem to be really nice...

[@yordankavo]

This video deserves VIEWS!!! Thank you for giving our Giselle her flowers, she deserves them! btw, I watch your video for the second time and once again I'm amazed by your work. Good, very good job! and because you said it's ok - can I request videos for the maknaes of aespa too?

this is such a fun, light hearted and informative video! thank you for speaking so kindly about her ☺️

[@bakaneko9945]

Giselle will always be my girl! ❤️ YURI, KRYSTAL, JOY and then now GISELLE. No matter what the haters spread bad about her, I will trust what I saw and the reason why she became my bias. No matter they say: she's racist (she apologised abt it already), she's dozen (w/c we know she's obviously not), she's a nepo baby (if she is, why SM kept on mistreated her) She's just like my previous biases, she's beautiful, bubbly and very positive despite the harshness she gets. I will not plead to anyone that you should like her, it's better to have someone who will stay with her, to love and support the way she deserves. Hope she'll continue to shine on stage. Her happiness is my happiness ❤️

[@Bob_Dylan_KFP]

Love this series - please keep it up! aespa has been one of the groups that I mostly just listen to without diving into their more personal content so it was very interesting to learn more about one of my favorite rappers of this generation (btw did I miss it or did the video not mention how she learned to rap?). Please consider including smaller groups in this series eventually, like Kiss of Life, H1-Key or even PRIMROSE.
