Female Idol Fires Back At Comment Calling Her "Ugly" During Live Broadcast

aespa member NingNing has taken social media by storm with her latest live broadcast, where she got shockingly candid.

During the livestream, NingNing addressed several topics that usually idols avoid, including fatphobia and sasaeng fan behavior.

She also directly addressed those spreading malicious content about her, advising them to spend their time on better things such as working out, reading a book, or hanging out with friends.

Despite this firm callout, NingNing ended up receiving a malicious comment soon after. It read, “You look ugly without makeup.” The idol fired back, clearly frustrated, saying, “So what? This is just how I look.”

She then addressed the rest of the viewers, using the comment as a demonstration of how people would rather choose to spend their energy on writing such ridiculous comments. She urged her fans not to judge people based on their looks and concluded her response by advising everyone to listen to music instead of disrespecting people around them.

NingNing’s sharp retort has sparked a heated response on social media, where the clip has now gone viral. While fans are happy that the aespa member is not pulling back her punches, some are also concerned about her mental well-being after witnessing the mindless hate she received in real time.

Honestly, I do worry about her mental health. I know she looks like she doesn't care but she looks like she reached her limit https://t.co/BM0StId7ph

I’m really glad the girls confront haters and defend themselves and that these people’s words don’t mean anything to them, I’m glad they’re strong but these things shouldn’t happen, people shouldn’t be out here being disgusting and hateful towards the girls when they haven’t done… https://t.co/JJ5jSTfpWr
