AESPA's invisible member (A kpop commentary) 

"You're a university you're supposed to be promoting education you can't even count to four" ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS 🤣🔥

I think it's a mix of all three, sm is known for treating their foreign idols poorly, and with Giselle's scandal, it's easier to treat her poorly on camera because alot of people don't like her and can justify sm's behavior as some sort of weird justice

the ning 2 makes me cackle skfkskkd

Giselle didn't choose be born to be half Japanese and half Korean. Its obviously out of her control. Therefore, IF she IS receiving resentment from the Korean populace due to that its actually sad but it is what it is. We still love her regardless. Lets go GiGi!

I just find it ironic that Giselle had and STILL has the highest views on her Synk trailer where she’s spitting bars in three languages the entire time- had people anticipating this Giselle chick, only for SM to fumble and completely dismiss her and push Karina out. To this day, Giselle still doesn’t have a FULL rap verse to herself to showcase her abilities. It’s sad

Giselle is my ult and the treatment she gets in aespa is disgusting talk about WASTING an idol's potential

Actually, Giselle is my favorite in the group.

Aespa is such a conundrum. How 2 members can be SO Popular and have consistently viral fanam's while Ningning and Gisele share like a view and a half. Honestly fans pretend to be innocent but I think she disappears because fans don't find her pretty enough by western or Korean standards and she's not enough of a troublemaker to be hated.

went to synk hyperline in london, and most of the people we spoke to were actually giselle biased which was very refreshing to see. during her solo me and bf were SCREAMINGGG TO HYPE HER UP we love her so much

The mistreatment is real. but she is getting more popular and becoming more visible appearing solo at fashion events and being Loewe ambassador. Don't think it's because of the mouthing controversy because that's old news and knetz don't care about that as much like you said. She holds her own in the group with good personality, visuals, and ability.

At first I was a winter bias but later on I became a Giselle bias, I was so sad to see how people forget her

I think her visuals play a part to why she not really promoted alot compare to her other members

What’s even more messed up is that it’s 4 members LITERALLY 4 and as you said it will maybe be seen as forgivable if it was Nct because they literally have 26 members (i think) but Aespa only has 4 members none of her mistreatment is a mistake these brands and company’s do it on purpose and it’s so heart breaking because even tho Giselle has done some problematic things in the past their are idols who have done worse and get treated better then her

Giselle's "disappearance" has more to do with the attitude of SM's own employees than with discrimination from the public. When she debuted, I attributed that "disappearance" to her obvious differences of dance skills with her classmates (because she was a trainee for less time) but when she improved, I noticed that the company continued to give her the worst wardrobes and made "mistakes" when promoting to Giselle. Currently, she is being "washed out" of her by giving her makeup and wardrobe similar to Karina. There's an interesting theory that Giselle's stepfather is Lee Soo-man and SM employees are "disappearing" her because they consider her a nepo-girl.

Girl you're so pretty. Literally ethereal ❤ and I like how you call ningning ning2 😂

There’s also the possibility that SM does it on purpose so that Giselle gains “pity stans.” This is similar to what happens to idols like Liz, in which people feel bad for her because she gets less lines, screen time, etc (which was proven incorrect once people dug deeper into it) so people give her more attention and Stan her

Korea and SM has failed her since the beginning. I will always be so upset about that blurred preview photo of Giselle.

as a black women, the Giselle nword situation was so embarrassing (sorry to go off on a tangent with your video). like what she did was so very wrong but i’m so sure someone got fired that day bc the way the scandal could’ve been easily avoided if they just edited the clip out 😭

This video is so good! Black Mamba is one of the best debuts of all time imo

I do feel like the agency has a big part of this. They don’t really market/promote Giselle properly. I heard from a subreddit that there is a higher management in SM that discriminates Japanese people (allegedly) because one of his ex-gf was Japanese (?) Any SM stan also know that they treat foreign members poorly especially Japanese members

I liked this video very much because I do agree that Giselle's mistreatment needs to be talked about more. There's a lot of evidence of Giselle being neglected by SM, and Korean brands and fans since debut (a year before her mouthing the nword and apologizing for it) and that trickled down into international fans because it's hard to bias someone you don't see enough of - there was significantly less fansites of Giselle from debut when compared to her members and that was huge blocker in potential new fans getting to support her in the early days. Giselle's lines in Black Mamba were basically non-existent and that trend followed her throughout her career so far in their title tracks and title tracks are the most important thing in kpop because that's where the music video is and casual fans and non-fans all tune in and find their favorite members and moments from that so Giselle got a lack of exposure from the very beginning. Also during debut there were a lot of malicious rumors about Giselle's past, her family background, and how she got into SM - all of which has now been proven wrong by Giselle herself last year during Drama's promotions but the problem is it's 3 years too late... SM failed her so bad, they should've cleared up these rumors when it started and put out a statement about taking legal action.

i’m so glad i saw this video because nobody would explain giselle’s “scandal” to me, they just kept calling her racist said she said the n word as if she actually spoke it in a song, but accidentally mouthing a word is so much different than saying it when you’re performing a song. i felt bad that i tried not to support her in any way always wishing the others and complimenting them and acting like she didn’t exist.

Honestly she was seen as the visual hole of the group and ever since she had a glow up she has gotten better treatment and more simps(fans)

Ning2. Took me a second!! 😳🤣

i’m really happy tho with how LOUD indonesians were when giselle appeared during 2023 smtown. we were WHIPPED ❤

Giselles idol life is being wasted thru out the beginning of her career You got a new sub!

this is irrelevant but you're gorgeous

Giselle 🔛🔝 She's literally good in everything

I’m grateful that more and more people like you are starting to talk about things like this. I’ve been a fan of Giselle for a long time and it def hurts when you can’t even see your bias on promotional/brand photos 😢

I usually dont watch small creators but you're really entertaining! New sub!

Girly you look so ethereal !!!! 🫶🏻

when i just got into aespa giselle was my bias, now i like all of them equally but it was shocking for me to find out how she’s treated. my unpopular opinion is that her mouthing the nword wasn’t malicious. even if she went to a boarding school it was a possible that she didn’t know about the word. i learned what it meant at 17 and i was as fluent in english as i am now. i known about it existence from memes and songs but i didn’t know it was offensive. it’s not like she directed that word towards someone. she sung a song. i wish that people understood that the knowledge of the language doesn’t mean being aware of the cultural/historical contexts. i think people are too harsh on her and she apologised.

I NEED you to post abt these kinda stuff and these allegations at kpop idols bc ur videos are SAUR ENTERTAINING to watch. stan giselle btw

It's not because of giselle being half japanese!!! in korea people are equally racist and hateful towards china too, so it does not make sense that thats the reason people were leaving giselle out of the group. It was probably to get the group attention or maybe the company is bullying here for a certain reason. we do not know but saying shes being left our for being half japanese when ning ning is full chinese is laughable. not hating you!!! I just wanted to share that as someone who has been back and forth to south korea with korean friends and a partner, from my experience I always here a random racist comment about the chinese even when china has nothing to do with our conversation. your talk about korea being under japanese control is all great so I applaude you for that but there is also a deep hatred being korea and china historically too. so saying giselle is the only member being ignored for her being half japanese is 99% false.

I recently got into Aespa and feel like they will be my new obsession after BP. I also started getting into Ive. These two 4th gen groups are really talented and I will follow them. I didn't know about Giselle's mistreatment, actually I thought that she is the most hated member due to her background-being rich, but I think that as soon as the group gain more popularity this will change because everyone will get attention from the public.

I remember tweeting this on Stan Twitter ages ago post beauty campaign Beauty company: right, we have a girl group and they are endorsing our brand. Let's give Karina and Winter a wonderful background. Let's give the Chinese member a plain pink background Company worker: sir, there's 4 members Beauty company: what?? Is she Korean? Company worker: no Beauty worker: okay. Just throw something together

It just makes me wonder why did they add her in if they’re going to constantly exclude her. She’s pretty, she can sing, she’s improving her dancing, she can write and dabbles in producing songs. She has (had) appeal to the western audience by how she speaks English and can appeal to the Japanese market. Idky they keep acting like she’s a burden or the member they added for filler

2:52 "You're an university. You're supposed to be promoting education. You can't even count to four" i loved it 😂

I really REALLY love your hair. The colour and the volumn. Also, loved the commentary. SM really treats their foreign idols awful. It's a wrongfully normalized thing😐

When I first got into kpop I never noticed the discrimination towards certain foreign idols because my ult groups at the time was TREASURE, TWICE and BLACKPINK and it was confusing when I learned about the whole discrimination thing because those groups have foreign members but everyone loves them so much like- Lisa, Haruto and Momo are foreign members but they are one of the most popular and most biased members in the group! It's just interesting how certain groups and certain companies treat their foreign idols 🤔 I think Jyp and Yg are much better at promoting them then Sm is, because even in NCT there has been weird discrimination going on 😾

Wow thank you for this, as a Giselle bias I just thought I was crazy.

I honestly didn’t expect you to have 700 subs, I thought you’d have A LOT more since your commentary was literally amazing, New sub ♥︎ -𝟳𝟬𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿

Giselle is the glue that holds the group together wtf.

I love your commentary, you’re so pretty btw! 💗

tbh i clicked cuz of the thumbnail with u in it...DROP SKINCARE AND MAKEUP PLS HOLYYYY 😍

I DIDNT KNOW U DO YT QUEEN SO FKIN HAPPY TO SEE YOUR CONTENT HERE

I wonder how can you look so beautiful, seriously😭💖💖💖

When I started getting into kpop I was a massive BTS fan and my bias was Jin, and I kept getting angry because this kind of thing where one individual photo was missing, or someone was cut out it was always Jin. Then I got into Blackpink and biased Jisoo, and she was also the one that had similar things happening to her. So my theory now is just that they overlook the least biased people in the groups in order to gain more attention by promoting the most liked members (it would make sense since Jin and Jisoo had the least stans at the time, and if I’m not wrong it is also Giselle’s case)

Giselle has never had the most lines in ANY Aespa songs. Let that sink in.

Gurl you just have another subscriber ❤

As a black my i was disappointed in giselle...because even the members who couldn't speak English didn't say it but she apologised and im sure after the bkacklash she learnt her mistake and i forgive her

I'm white, too, but there is a definite difference between singing along with a song with the N word, and dropping the N word at someone. Both are bad, one is based in ignorance, the other in hate. My theory is that she is considered less attractive by korean standards plus some of these other reasons.

Girl thb i just clicked on this video because ur so beautiful, i just went “wtf she is so pretty” also i agree with u

About the n-word and Giselle proficiency in English. I find it very amusing when k-pop stans believe that their rich and privileged idols would be racially educated because they went to an international school in Asia. Guys, come on. People in America misuse this word, do you think that a half-Korean half-Japanese rich girl who was educated in a Catholic school in Tokyo would be educated in the history and sensibility of the n-word? If this is your expectation, then racism should've been resolved by now.

Cheering for Giselle! She made a mistake but she doesn’t deserve to be crucified forever.

GIRL UR STUNNNING

People who think giselle deserves better 👇

"you see I'm not a smart person" 😂

someone at sm is def out to get her cuz why was that kept in an official video. also i feel like part of the reason why knetz don't like her is because of toxic beauty standards. i think shes pretty but i don't think she fits the kbs as much as the other members so she often gets body-shamed and called like the "visual hole" which is rude asf

no cause this is so sad as someone who’s biased Giselle since i discovered the group 😭

i have been a my since the first teaser pic, giselle was the last member revealed (pretty much immediately after ningning) and everyone (at least the english speaking fandom) was pretty much too caught up with ningning to notice her, and the ones that DID were immediately calling her predebut pics ugly and iirc the talk of the town for like 2 weeks after she was revealed was her getting surgery lol

I take Giselle with a grain of salt ever since the slur incident (I'm a black female) and the apology was half-ass in my opinion especially because she speaks english so fluently... but I did notice the treatment of her compared to the other members and it may be a combinations of the points you've made plus maybe her being called a "visual hole" at some points (just stating what I've seen netizens say) Love the video tho, clear and precise thoughts and opinions 🙌🏾

I think giselle was trying to emphasise the fact that she wasnt saying it hence the lean in and showing her teeth shut but it completely backfired and she should have just done nothing. she then just apologised because that was the narrative everyone decided to run with wanted to clarify shes not that type of person. She is fluent in english and has mentioned she has a diverse friend group in combination with what we have seen of her personality I highly doubt that she would intentionally say it. If it was any other group or idol it would have been a different story but since aespa was a major threat to other ggs at the time and ppl decided she was "ugly" and a "dozen" (neither of which are true) it caused a hate train so bad she lost all her confidence and in an interview asked her future self is she was still alive. This is just my take on this situation, could be wrong but thats what I pieced together. I think it was just blown out of proportion

4:46 the thing is its lyrics and if your fav song is playing your just singing how you remembered it,i am black myself and i have so many white friends who accidentally say it when singing nichi minaj,sza,cardi b, megan thee Stallion etc. It's very common,she was probably just in her moment singing because as she stayed it was one of her favorite artist, ahe probably just got carried away while singing,this is just my opinion tho ❤

The issue was also the fact that she signed to SM entertainment. SM has a history of just not really treating any of their foreign idles really well we know this because like most of the Chinese idols that they have who have left have talked about the mismanagement, the mistreatment how crappy it was. In terms of her ethnicity, the crazy thing is even if she had been raised in Korea. People would still see her as Japanese and I think it’s crazy. They’ve been other half Korean half Japanese idols that I think of his name starts with a K I forgot what it was but he was in a 2nd/3rd group , and he grew up in both countries and yet he was always seen and promoted as being Japanese and it was funny because his Korean was fluent and it was really good and people would always commented him on it and he would always say yeah I speak with my mom he just sat there and told my mom’s Korean or when he would talk about how he would spend summers in Korea and visiting his grandparents here and his cousins and things. Even like other people who are Korean, but may have been born in Japan and raised there like Kiko known K-pop industry for dating GD At one point people genuinely forget she’s not ethically Japanese at all she’s half Korean half European if I’m correct or Australian. She’s some kind of white and Korean mix but she was born in Japan. She’s done things where she’s talked about when she’s visiting and it is to be there and experience, the culture and the food and stuff and how her Korean parent had talked about some of these foods being foods that they look like growing up and eating and stuff like that. And yes, Japan has been really crappy things in the past and so has China if you think about it when it comes to Korea in general and it’s one of the reasons why Korea has such really strain relations with both countries, which is understandable, but I still think it’s weird that they’re willing to take talent from those two countries to bring to their own debut as artist and things and some of them blow up to be huge Whenever there’s just the smallest of an issue that will be Weaponized against them and the companies do nothing which is what I think is the biggest issue. Gisselle is being used for her talent when it suits them, but nothing more nothing less NingNing is being used for her talent and the foothold that she gives their group in China nothing more nothing less. It’s crazy how companies especially ones like SM entertainment who consistently will go to these countries to scout people to join their company will sit there and see them more, they can use primarily for a inside of that which is what I think it is most of the time. And I’m always happy when I see Asian because I feel like whenever you have someone who does pointed out who is Asian because I definitely have people sit there and tell me I’m insane for pointing out certain things like that and it’s like I don’t think you understand as someone who is mixed as someone When had her initial scandal the company handled it very poorly in my opinion with not saying anything at first not having someone monitor that video before putting it out there then leaves me to believing that I genuinely think that someone in the company saw that and they did not care so they purposely put it out there and it wouldn’t be the first time that that has happened to a foreign idol Because people come from their own company. And then they went about which I think was only on Twitter I think also affected the way some people saw it. And I personally think it’s funny because I’m a fan of like NCT and there is at least two members of NCT who have done the exact same thing she did which is singing along to song by black artist that had the N-word in it, and they were mouth the word, never did. The video still exist on the Internet, but as entertainment never said anything about it. The fans sat there and pointed it out, and then they had hordes of other fans that are way too invested and critical, thinking skills or being able to understand people can make mistakes it’s just them owning up to it. That fans would want trying to defend those members and again the company never said anything about it. There was never an apology. There was never a statement there wasn’t even like a half, like that, they said, and you saw the camera wasn’t close enough or whatever. Also, I feel like as far as SM is concern she is the filler member. Not in terms of her talent because she is talented, but in terms of what they’re trying to who they’re trying to push. NingNing is extremely talented. She technically had somewhat of a singing career before she even joined the company yet the company doesn’t push her at all either not as much as they could unlike they do with the twoKorean members which I think makes sense. I also must say it’s nice to see when other people outside of people point this out because I’ve definitely seen people have arguments whether it’s with myself or others when we point this out. It’s like we understand more than you would think we might not be celebrities or idol, but you can clearly see the difference between, mixed race idols are Korean or idols who are fully foreign and how they get treated by the companies, especially if they get into like a scandal or something fairly early on in their career or just in general how different the company will go about it compared to the Korean members.

I'm sorry this is so out of context but like you are soo dayum pretty gurlieee!!!!❤❤

there is also the rumour that she is the niece of one of the girlfriend / wife of the CEO of SM. That's why she is hated by knetizens. She trained in SM for only a few months before debut. But yeah i don't know why they treat her like that. Maybe she chose to have some free time who knows. She is a rich girl living her best life also.

i love your voice and your very pretty 🥰🥰

Bro why does it sound like someone's snoring in the background lmao

This completely unrelated, but you are prettyyyyyyyy.😭😭😭

You Are so pretty omg! 😭 Like a doll or angel haha 💗☺️

and to this day, kpop stans says giselle is a nepo baby and got into SM because of her rich parents or her supposed connection with soo man. if she really was a nepo baby, she'd easily be the best treated in the group but kpop stans aren't ready for this conversation

I love Giselle and NINGNING

I don’t think her mouthing the n word was a major reason for her mistreatment, I believe it made her mistreatment more passable. If I’m correct then she was always treated worse than the other memebers from debut as people believed that she didn’t deserve to debut and rumours in Korea of her being a mean girl, the fact she is Japanese didn’t help either.

tbh i will never understand the media. like, look at ateez, 8 korean members achieving so much and yet no mediz coverage in sk.. kmedia are a mystery at this point.

I went to an international school all my life and didnt know what the n word meant until i got into kpop 😭

Giselle is also really not liked or accepted by traditional Korean fans because of her western 'ghetto' pre-debut nature which she has obviously matured and grown from now, and that all aespa members are extremely beautiful but Giselle is kind of overshadowed by their beauty and maybe stylists, even though she is one of the most beautiful and unique styling idol I know of. She is even my ult. It's very simple knowing why Western fans tend to bias Giselle more.

UR SO PRETTY???????

Hello if you see this I hope you respond I love your content on TikTok I spend a good amount of time watching thank you for posting

I love how you call ningning ning2 I’ve never heard anyone call ningning ning2 maybe everyone calls her that but I’m not a dedicated my lol

u could just say ningning 😭 jokes aside i wish giselle had better treatment

Ok i have a thepry and im actully pretty convinced that its really the reason: it all come down to visuals. Its horrible to say, as i personally believe thta Giselle is a beautiful girl, but i believe that netizens just dont like her visuals. Ive read thousands of people calling her a visual hole in aespa (which, lets be forreal, its one of the prettiest group out there) and that hed visuals did not match the groups one and for this reason a lot of knet started hating her. I als9 believe that being half-japanese, with a very western humor/vibe, being the only one that didnt showcaxe vocals during their early era and was the worst dancer played a significant role, but nothing will compare to how much netz care about an idol visual. Its the same reason why Sana, Mina and Momo are loved (especially Sana) while Chaeryeong (a korean, from Itzy) was hated.

Love Giselle and agree that there was mistreatment but I think the one where she was blurred was because the other members had white masks and she had black maybe

your so pretty

i actually see a lot of hate over the n word still. people won’t let her live it down.

AESPA is treated by sm the way koreans treat all non-korean idols. The moment Ningning leaves SM, she will take over China.

personally i think it’s a mix of a few things 1. her heritage could cause certain brands to see her in a prejudiced way 2. while twice is one of the most popular and well liked groups in south korea, aespa is still relatively new and hasn’t built up a reputation like twice has so that could contribute to why twice’s j-line are treated with more respect 3. as much as it hurts me to say this, compared to other japanese kpop idols giselle’s visuals are often criticised and not seen as favourable by a lot of netizens as she doesn’t really fit the korean beauty standard 4. she doesn’t have a lot of fans compared to the other members so it’s easier to exclude her without a massive deal being made. this could be for a lot of reasons like the fact she mouthed the nword which to this day kpop fans use as an excuse to drag her, her visuals (which i’ve mentioned in my 3rd point) and the fact that she has weaker skills in dance, stage presence and vocals when compared to the other members 5. her company has a history of giving preferential treatment towards korean trainees and idols while foreigners get less opportunities at best and straight up abused at worst. when you’re the least favourable to the general public both nationally and internationally companies think they can get away with more and while she might not be my bias, giselle deserves so much better

Not the autocorrect sayingn jezzel

I thought Gisele had negative rating by the netizens since debut because she accidentally exposed her background being rich? There are other idols with rich background but never revealed until some years after debut. Sunny of SNSD for example was from rich family but none knew that until she was already proven to be a good singer. Even though Sunny has never been very popular as other SNSD members.

You’re so pretty ❤

You have to consider that this might be a choice made by the brands, maybe they think she’s not as marketable as karina or winter (the preferred ones by the gp) or they dont want her image to be involved with the brand. We dont know whats in the contracts that they are signing so there might be specific clauses according to the likes of the brand , not defending sm but not everything is done according to what they want when it comes to a brand that will be paying big amounts to use their image

The thing is that Koreans allegedly (not trying to get hate) hate south East Asian too (mostly Filipinos I think and I still don't know why) and Chinese people too but they have a "rule" that despite if they hate e/o (Korean people and Chinese people) they'll hate Japanese people more (this is not a generality btw but because of the historical nature of their complex relationships) that would explain why they are harsher on Giselle than on 2Ning and maybe that because she is HALF also contributed seen as a "treason" of some sort like why would a Korean woman marry a Japanese man when she can marry in her own country etc... also Momo, Sana and Mina do get hate. Not to Giselle extent I think but they go hate for doing a live speaking Japanese and Sana literally got bullied because she talked about the emperor of Japan or something like that on their Japanese Instagram and people started hating on her. I don't remember the details and if she went on a hiatus bc of that but yeah... they kind of got their fair share although I am not that knowledgeable. For Giselle's case, what I said is purely speculation bc what do I know 😭

There is NO doubt that Karina and Winter are the most popular members in S Korea and the world. Karina, especially, was considered the icon of entire KPop industry until the dating scandal brought her down. In S Korea, Karina was more popular than Jennie of BP or Wonyoung of IVE. Ningning, on the other hand, is always viewed as somewhat suspicious because of her Chinese background. Because KPop is banned in China, Ningning's marketability suffered greatly. Giselle is a strange case. She speaks Korean as if she is a native! Well, Giselle was born in S Korea! She seems less popular than other 3 mainly because of her visual. Giselle's Japanese ethnicity is not so much a handicap because Japanese girls are wildly popular among men world-wide.

It's really sad i bias Winter and i'm hardcore My and love all of the girls i feel bad for her sometimes for too ning² she is also mistreated but not so much

Aespa will never get to the top until the company treats Giselle right. Giselle is the best female rapper in SM gg history and they are WASTING her potential... her pre debut self written rap is fireeeee. Her solo 2hot4u is fireeee. 🔥 They need to treat her like the main rapper she is and utilize her skills. I mean I love Ningning and Winter but they do not need the rap parts. They have enough singing parts for the song. I mean - I don't see Giselle getting the high notes though she is also a great vocalist... proved with her heavenly adlibs and her ballad solo in the concert. She's the prettiest idol I have ever seen without makeup like have you seen her skin? Flawless. ✨️ She's also got the best fittest body in Aespa yet the stylists f up her makeup and give her badly fitting outfits. SM just self sabotaging at this point.

Can you make a video about how Jisoo is overlooked in Blackpink? It’s not on the level of Giselle but I think it still enough to be addressed (maybe it’s just me cus I’m a Jisoo bias tho lol🤷‍♀️)

Giselle is not my Ult in the group but I will say this. SM is wasting her potential in the group and ALL BECAUSE THAT SHE IS FROM JAPAN?? Babe if that ain’t xenophobia, Idk what is.

girl just say ningning it’s not that hard 😭

@gtcha-wp6ir replying to the comment chain isn't working, so let me try making a new reply. [2/3] However, I dont think the term you used (not gonna spell it in case that's what is getting my replies removed) is a good comparison in this case bc it's actually not mandarin and means nothing. Its a term that was created to make fun of how the language sounds, and not an attempt to actually use any legitimate words. In fact, if you went over to China and called someone there (without any living experience abroad) that term or the worse version, I would bet over 98% would not be offended bc they would have no idea what that means/it means nothing to them without the contextual knowledge. You dont need to know what it means bc it means nothing in the first place (and im pretty confident as I have immigrant parents and grandparents that know very little english).

Ning 2 makes no sense to me. Ning squared or 2nings does. Ning 2 sounds like there is a second person named ning.
