If people are going to call Giselle untalented, they should have the same energy for 70% of kpop idols.
I love aespa but I’m not really a fan of Giselle, but seeing people call her untalented and useless to the group made me laugh.
It’s not that I think she’s superb or incredibly talented, it’s honestly the opposite. I think she’s relatively average. Her singing is a little above, her dancing is a little below and her rapping is a bit above. I just think it’s funny bc like 70% of the industry is abt as talented as she is yet people are acting like she’s monstrously bad.
Obviously the only reason is bc she said the n word so now people feel free to say whatever they want. Part of me is happy about that because I don’t really feel sympathy for her, but the other half of me is confused. Are people blind to the talent level of kpop idols until they do something problematic? Or are people genuinely convinced that Giselle is anything less than the average kpop idol? It’s fine to critique her, but why are people acting like the rest of idols aren’t in the same boat in regards to talent?
I think this is unpopular bc people describe her as much less talented than the average kpop idol, while I think she’s a very good representation of most kpop idols talent level (if not slightly above tbh)
