In other aespa news, member Giselle recently issued an apology for mouthing a racial slur in a behind-the-scenes video featuring the group. “I would like to apologize for mouthing the wrongful word from the lyrics of the song that was playing on-site,” she wrote.
The statement was in response to a clip that had made its rounds on social media over the weekend, where she was seen mouthing a racial slur as part of a lyric in SZA’s ‘Love Galore’.
