Idol Deep Dive: Giselle (aespa) 

before giselle came into the scene, the 3 memebers were messing with pink girlie concepts. it was revealed in their documentry, giselle was the reason why aespa has this known for the metallic concept,

Giselle didn’t stick out to me when I first got into æspa but now I can’t imagine the group without her. She has quickly become a top fav of mine and seems the most approachable? The friend comparison is really the best analogy to describe her.

The great thing about Giselle is just how light hearted and joyful she is. It feels like she is so easygoing pretty much anyone could be friends with her.

"when life gives you a lemon - make mojitos" the most iconic line of her

Honestly sad to see how Giselle is misjudged in general K-pop community. From people saying she had connection in SME despite the fact she's admitted she got rejected 3 times before training, to getting reputation of "lazy" idol at some point even though Karina said she practices a lot and Giselle literally shared her dance practices outside of Aespa's schedule and recently Giselle admitted she had/has poor health condition in their upcoming movie and we could tell that by her hiatuses. It's nice to see that she's never losing motivation.

the only things i can say abt my girl is that people try so hard to deny giselle's popularity not knowing her popularity in japan,she is so talented,she can rap,has some experience for writing songs and has been in the choir. never changing my bias in aespa,shes my no1 since their debut.

Giselle has so much potential. Why isn't SM making use of it? Her rapping skills has swagger, flow and a bite to it, so sad it's not being utilize fully. If there are representative colors in Aespa, Giselle's would be black - mysterious, chill, determined, and resilient. She's quite a fashionista and a visual, too like her members. Her impeccable English made her relatable to international audience. And she can nail really good facial expressions. I love watching her TikToks with fellow members.

She always gives me the feeling that she is really smart, and she is SWAAAAG

Giselle pre debut background is really interesting for me since from day one they debuted. Where can you find idol from the past and today got a background as choir member in pre debut days who used to compete in choir competition overseas, part of Vocal Ensemble who actually won gold and school place 2nd overall in International Choir Competition in Netherlands back in 2019 and at the same time active in theatrical play. Her pre debut activities sold me to her as the most musically inclined member of Aespa and artist in SM. Too bad SM would rather die than giving her opportunities to sing, rap or compose in her career. Such a wasted talent.

I fully blame SM for the misjudgement and underestimation of Giselle. My favourite rap piece of hers is the one she wrote by herself for her synk video, both her and Karina always talk about wanting to write lyrics, Giselle in particular talked about her interest in music making but the company isn't giving them the chance to explore and learn, unfortunately that's just how SM operates. They are starting to loosen up a bit by allowing them to take part in writing their solo songs now but I really hope we get to see more in the future.

didn’t know she got rejected and kept coming back. She’s very admirable. Your deep dives are amazing I hope you can make one on natty from kiss of life I feel like there’s lots to talk about

I love Giselle sm and it's somewhat sad that despite her best efforts to showcase her talent, there are people out there who only seek to denigrate who she is and her work.

I'm honestly glad that she took time to finish school before going for the dream. She probably is the only member who experienced a much freer life growing up and not tied up to a dream early on. Like she got the time in school to explore her craft and what she trully likes. And that is actually the most relatable part of growing up, exploring. That's why we see her as like a friend and maybe that's why she continues to allow us to see her outside of that limelight through her vlogs. I mean, her vlogs seems like how ordinary people filmed their day. She wanted us to have a glimpse of what she trully is without the fancy stuff. Her honesty and her raw emotions are what I admired the most. She acknowledges her setbacks and continues to be better at them. For me, her growth has been the most evident in all of the newer idols. Her choosing to be better means she loves what she does. I hope people will stop denying the massive growth she has and start looking deeper onto her. Coz she's more than what most people perceived her.

I love Giselle's energy she is really the queen of IDGAF on the haters she deserves every good in the world!

Giselle is that girl 🤍

now knowing that without her there won't be aespa exist, i'm gonna keep praising her more and more. y'all akgae/solo stans can keep crying in your ugly closets. from day-1 i know she's that B, you know. she's truly the backbone of the group. we love you Gigi!!!

LOL love the editing you did with her auditioning and getting rejected over and over. Really good deep dive video! Her passion and motivation is so inspirational. Also nice diagonal stripes

Giselle if you ever see this comment I LOVE YOUR SELFIES U JUST KNOW HOW TO TAKE A GOOD PIC 😭😭👏

i love seeing positive videos about giselle on here 😭 i biased her since savage but all i saw was hate videos before recently.. ur an angel

Thank you for making this video. Truly showcased what SM couldn't these past years. Giselle to me is an embodiment of growth, be it as an artist or as an individual. Really love her vibes and talent. Hopefully she get to show them soon.

I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I've always liked Aeri but had no idea she was rejected at first. I'm happy that she persevered 🥺

Yeaaaaaa I love that my bias is getting the recognition equally with other members~ she caught my eye even though she wasn't as popular compared to other members when they first debuted.

so proud of aeri! thank you for showing her love and stating facts about her. can you also make a deep dive on twice jeongyeon? she's one of the most talented and inspirational kpop artist and i think the world needs to know her more. thank you!

aespa is the only group, I think, that I like all girls equally... I can't imagine it without any of them... They are all gorgeous, they seem to be far from polemics (I might be wrong because I don't know that much about kpop "idols"), and their music is fantastic... They are one of the most talented 4th gen groups vocal wise... And about Giselle, she is kinda "the girl I wish I was friends with"... She seems a nice person... They all seem to be really nice...

thank you for making this video about giselle!!

I was so scared of the comms💀

Giselle bias since SYNK era 😘

This video deserves VIEWS!!! Thank you for giving our Giselle her flowers, she deserves them! btw, I watch your video for the second time and once again I'm amazed by your work. Good, very good job! and because you said it's ok - can I request videos for the maknaes of aespa too?

Gigi my goat

I just love her

Giselle has been my bias ever since Black Mamba!

Giselle my bias since the start ❤❤❤ she needs more lines tho 😭😭😭 she deserves better

I at first didn’t click on this video because I thought it would be kinda boring/bad but you did a pretty good job at making this video. Gonna check out other videos now

Aeri's audition part here is cute and fun.

amazing video!! I'd love to see you making one about NingNing one day

So happy for this video. Love Aeri so much. She is admirable and so sweet. I love her so much.

Giselle will always be my girl! ❤️ YURI, KRYSTAL, JOY and then now GISELLE. No matter what the haters spread bad about her, I will trust what I saw and the reason why she became my bias. No matter they say: she's racist (she apologised abt it already), she's dozen (w/c we know she's obviously not), she's a nepo baby (if she is, why SM kept on mistreated her) She's just like my previous biases, she's beautiful, bubbly and very positive despite the harshness she gets. I will not plead to anyone that you should like her, it's better to have someone who will stay with her, to love and support the way she deserves. Hope she'll continue to shine on stage. Her happiness is my happiness ❤️

I love Giselle since she debut days ...she true gem in aespa & best female rapper in kpop ‼️

Please make deep dive on Winter

Great vid again ! Would love to see a Dive on Yeji or on Yuna, or even on Lia, from Itzy ! Sadly it's become mainstream to hate on Itzy recently, so it would be nice to hear some nice things about these great idols !

gigi living the dream

Love this video... I definitely didn't understand Giselle at first, but through watching interviews like the DIVE podcast with Eric Nam, I see how charming and intelligent she really is.

Just stumbled upon your channel and my God..among sea of channels who just have to shit on idols for no reason..this is just such a breath of fresh air ❤

She's actually so cool.

her cake in supernova having: "that's hot" is so iconic😭

her mindset about her career and her determination is admirable i feel that she really stands out

Gracias por hablar bonito de mi Gigi❤ ella se esfuerza sin que nosotros sepamos😊 su arduo trabajo se nota más cada vez que aparece con su grupo❤❤❤❤

Love this!

THANK YOU!❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome video. Please make more like this. 🙏🏼 Thank you!

SHE ALWAYS BEING MY FAVORITE

Omgg this vd is everything it's so crazy

thank you so much

Thank you for Made this beautiful video

my precious ult bias!!!

I have deep dive with 3 unnies. Waiting for maknae Ningning

Thank you

Love this series - please keep it up! aespa has been one of the groups that I mostly just listen to without diving into their more personal content so it was very interesting to learn more about one of my favorite rappers of this generation (btw did I miss it or did the video not mention how she learned to rap?). Please consider including smaller groups in this series eventually, like Kiss of Life, H1-Key or even PRIMROSE.

i love her so much

i love her so much. my bias💓

You are so good at this and your edits blow my mind because I can only think about how much time that would take to do LOL. I hope someday your channel gets big enough you might be able to reach out to some of these idols directly and involve them. I think a lot of them would really like what you're doing here.

Giselle is mysterious. She loves her privacy.

Bro seriously thank you for this video! I'm grateful someone did (SO WELL) something i had in mind since a long time ago but don't really have the skills or audience to pull it off. lol The storytelling of your video is so good, every word you chose to talk about her feels so carefully chosen and accurate. Love the pieces of interviews you compiled here too! I really admire her thoughts and how she expresses herself, i could listen to her for hours.. hoping for the day she drops a podcast or something

Yo your content is amazing

Please do Winter, Haerin and Yeji! These videos are super well made by the way cant wait for Minji!

Aeri has always been special to me after my bias Ning Ning and I really gets very friendly and genuine vibes from here😂❤ She’s one of the very sweetest girls ❤ I would like you to cover someone who’s not under appreciated but so damn freaking misunderstood and there’s lot of people who are just mad that she exists; Wonyoung . As you said about Giselle for me wonyoung is also someone who’s been so goos even after having a very extraordinary life. If you can please do wonyoung idol deep dive ❤️

I heckin love Ben Atmos

I love her even tho she is my least favourite aespa member she’s so talented and good she doesn’t deserve the hate she received

Aeri's name is so beautiful and I wish she kept it as her stage name instead of Giselle

🔥🔥😁

When you see their clips from a couple of years ago when aespa appeared on a brief segment on The Daily Show, she was really enthusiastic and eager to play and joke around with Roy Wood, who was hosting the bit. She played along and made good jokes. Ning ning did too, but Giselle was really with it there. She made it fun.

She was the first to catch my eye in black mamba. She seems so cool.

gigi Stan since day 1

Actually Giselle's official position is Main Rapper.

next idol suggestions: kazuha, eunchae, haerin, ningning, lily, pharita, chiquita, asa, anton

Would love to see some on the male idols (e.g: Yeonjun from TXT or Feilx from Stray Kids) one day!

she really looks like yuri from snsd

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

That's crazy how she auditioned 4 times

NingNing & IVE’s Rei next!!

Pls make a DD. about Twice in the future! Ty.😊

pls do itzy yeji or ive yujin

She stated she had a step father so her japanese father in reality her stepfather not her biological father. My guess her biological father is korean but her mother seperated/divorced/never married him and married a Japanese man who became Giselle's stepfather. Giselle's background doesnt fit neatly into boxes because she grew up in Japan but is culturally more overseas Korean who grew up in the west like a Korean-American but she's very Korean as well.

Do ning ning bro

Since you said you wanted suggestions, I would like to suggest Jang Wonyoung! I feel like she gets so much hate and love at the same time. Most people only judge her because she is pretty, but I know she can be more than that. She seems very mature and professional. She is like the perfect idol it girl. 💗💗

she somehow suit with XG but also not but yeah she is swaggy sexy

I'm curious about your take on BTS.

please do wonyoung next!

Turkish kaymak. They even said they'd like to visit Turkey to eat kaymak

Haerin! Haerin!

I feel like she's the one who has the most potential in the group with a real celebrity aura, she could be that diva yk, but for some reason she doesn't really stand out, and it's kind of disappointing, I've always thought she was the most interesting one in the group but she sadly never catches my attention

Next ningning,wonyoung please

Other idols should learn if you cant do and is lacking in an area work on it for oneself and for the fans
