In a recent livestream, Giselle, a member of the popular girl group aespa, shared her disappointment at not being able to watch the performances at MMA 2025 due to the group’s obstructed seating location.
Giselle said during the broadcast: “The award show was really fun, but I felt a bit disappointed because our seats were in a corner, so we could barely see the stage. We also couldn’t see the screen in front or the big LED display. So I felt a little regretful, but overall the ceremony was still very enjoyable.”
Giselle’s honest reflection immediately caught the attention of fans and the online community. While her comment seemed to simply express regret over the poor view, many fans believe it subtly addressed previous controversy surrounding her reaction to certain live performances — particularly Jennie’s stage at this year’s MMA.
Previously, Giselle’s seemingly indifferent expression during Jennie’s performance sparked heated discussion online, with opinions divided between support and criticism. Her mention of not being able to see the stage has led some to believe she may be subtly clarifying her reaction, even though she did not directly name any artist.
Some fans expressed sympathy, understanding that obstructed views can affect how much of the show artists can enjoy.
Others argued that she might be being too “sensitive” about the backlash and shouldn’t feel pressured to respond to vague speculation.
Meanwhile, many netizens praised Giselle for sharing her feelings sincerely and calmly, without adding to the controversy.

As of now, neither aespa nor Giselle has issued an official statement regarding the MMA 2025 reaction controversy. However, this livestream gave fans a glimpse into the idol’s candid perspective and her effort to stay positive and grounded amid scrutiny.
Although MMA 2025 has concluded, the echoes of artists’ reflections continue to spark public interest — a testament to the enduring buzz of year-end K-pop events.
