Brands keep banning Giselle from Aespa and fans are fed up with Kpop news
AespaIt is Gisele Except for the promotional photos of another brand that the group works with, it was this time MLB, and the MYs don’t.
Not MLB Korea leaves Giselle out…how many times do we have to go through this

MLB announced aespa as its official global ambassador in August last year through an advertising campaign for the brand’s summer collection. All four members were stunned by the photos promoting MLB shirts, shoes, bucket hats and shoulder bags.
Even then, an error on the brand’s website prevented photos of Giselle from appearing alongside its members. In another section, his name was misspelled. This has rightly infuriated the MYs who have taken to social media to vent their frustration with MLB; the sentence “Aespa a quatre ans” also trending Twitter.
It wasn’t the last time the brand made the mistake of excluding the group’s lead rapper from promotional photos. This time the incident happened on MLB Koreait is official Instagram page on which Karine, winteretc Ningning had separate posts promoting the brand’s jacket – with Giselle absent once again.
It’s been 5 hours since they posted the members’ photos but Giselles is still nowhere to be found. MLB has consistently mistreated it, we can’t just ignore this again. We have enough! #Giselle deserves better#Respect Giselle pic.twitter.com/h3yli0oDva

Read hashtags #Giselle deserves better etc #Respect Giselle started on Twitter as part of a fan effort to get MLB to notice and correct their mistake.
#Respect Giselle is trending now. Keep tweeting MYs. #Giselle deserves better @MLBKOREA_off pic.twitter.com/ydtL0V4ykQ

MY even pointed out how hard Giselle works to promote MLB apparel when she wears it.
Giselle did her job well and advanced MLB well, but what MLB still does today is disrespectful to Giselle as a member of aespa ‼️ GISELLE IS ALSO PART OF @aespa_official ‼️ #Giselle deserves better#Respect Giselle @MLBKOREA_off pic.twitter.com/f28PlpcTVI

Unfortunately, MLB isn’t the only brand that has done this. In May last year CLUB CLUB Japan didn’t include Giselle’s photo in theirs Kill Cover Fixer Pillow Advertising. In another case, it was the Instagram account of the Korean University Festival who posted individual photos on separate posts by all members except Giselle.

At an earlier date, in 2020 SBS Gayo DaejeonReporters from various media apparently confused Giselle with aespa employees and blurred her face. They also did not upload individual photos of the idol, unlike its members.
Also the agency Aespa, little entertainmentShe came under fire for taking over a week to do Giselle Spotify public playlist while that of other members was easily accessible.
She must have asked for it to be uploaded? what other things keep sm giselle from staying behind closed doors? https://t.co/OWtLpZKONX

MY continues to express frustration with all brands and companies involved and has committed to doing so until the issue of Giselle’s exclusion from the rest of the members is resolved.
