Since it was leaked that NingNing was going to debut in SM’s rookie group, she has suffered many negative comments. Recently, netizens have dug up NingNing’s past controversies, which went back to the time she was a trainee in SMRookies.

It was rumored that, in 2017, NingNing was exposed to be a manager in a fan chat group, which was against SM’s rule of banning trainees from using SNS. What was even more shocking is that NingNing also received red envelopes (money) from fans. In addition, there are rumors that she has revealed SM’s unannounced projects to fans.

Recently, aespa continued to be embroiled in a lip-syncing controversy during the time the group was promoting in the US. Knetizens were extremely upset and criticized the girls for embarrassing K-pop as they lip-synced the song Savage at Nick Cannon Show and The Kelly Clarkson Show.

In addition, Knetizens also had suspicion that the youngest NingNing lip-synced at the group’s MAMA 2021 stage. The matter was exposed after people brought up NingNing’s fake high notes.

As the main vocalist of the group, NingNing was assigned the most difficult parts of the song. When she did the high notes, she looked too calmly and her voice came out just like the recording.

For these climaxes of the songs, singers usually use a lot of internal energy and have to open their mouths wide to sing. Therefore, the audience constantly accused the idol of lip-syncing.

In addition, from the first day of performing the song “Black Mamba“, main vocal NingNing was once spotted wearing a mic under her chin. Even so, her voice was still clear. Moreover, at Insta Concert – “Forever“, the female idol also forgot to lip-sync when she reached the climax.

However, fans think that this is proof of her sincerity. NingNing just kept the habit of singing high notes calmly like many other SM artists and of course, NingNing was not good at lipsyncing.

The fact that NingNing and aespa have repeatedly exposed their lip-sync moments while being acclaimed as the group with the strongest vocal abilities in the 4th generation, has enraged netizens. Netizens also chastised the female idol for her unprofessional performing attitude.

Hanging out with male friends in the US

A photo of the youngest aespa with non-celebrity friends was shared on social media in early 2022. Many people are surprised to know that she not only hangs out with female friends but also with male friends.
