Aespa Ning Ning is under controversy over Bubble texts.

On the 5th, Ning Ning posted a message on private message platform 'Bubble' and wrote, "Daebak, we got our first gold tonight...I'm so happy." 

However, at the time she posted the message, public opinion against China was deteriorating after Korean athletes were disqualified for unknown reasons in men's 1000m final speed skating short track.

Netizens criticized her message writing, "Ah ~ Ning Ning is so careless." "If you're active in Korea, you should take into account the atmosphere before posting."

1. [+15,324, -36] The Chinese are always the same in the end...f*ck off back to your country!
2. [+8,122, -18] Please stop putting Chinese kids in our idol groups!!
3. [+3,622, -58] Let's start a petition to kick Ning Ning out of the group. I've been getting into aespa lately but she's making me start disliking them now.
4. [+3,237, -13] ? Is winning a gold medal something she should be rejoicing this much over? I'd feel so much shame if I was her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+1,931, -22] I understand supporting your country but the timing is a bit...and while you're making your money in Korea..
6. [+1,292, -1] Why the hell does SM keep taking in Chinese kids and letting them make money in Korea? Are their backs not in pain from being backstabbed so much?
7. [+801, -4] If you're making all your money in Korea, the least you can do is have some sense and stay quiet. She could've posted this on Weibo and no one would care but posting that on a platform her Korean fans are paying for ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+588, -1] The only answer is for SM to stop bringing in Chinese kids..
9. [+531, -1] If they had won it fair and square then she has every right to support them but that medal is a huge scandal right now so it's really shameless of her to publicly support a medal that was basically stolen..
10. [+509, -2] This is why we need to start boycotting all idol groups with Chinese kids. I'd rather we give our country's kids those opportunities. 
11. [+424, -1] SM is a fool. You would think they would've learned after being backstabbed so many times by Chinese kids in Super Junior (Suju) and EXO..
12. [+388, -1] I knew this would happen after aespa came out for the first time and finding out they had Chinese members. Even after SM suffered like that over Chinese kids, they keep adding them to idol groups?
13. [+277, -9] I support TWICE Tzuyu and Taiwan..
