I haven't seen an idol being so honest in a long time, which makes me wonder if something is going on behind the scenes. For those who don't know, a few of the things she addressed during the livestream were weight loss, how people only talk about her looks, what she would change about the kpop industry & how a lot of it is a facade and a scam. She also stated that the idol life is very far away from who she really is, that she hopes we won't be surprised when we get to see "the real her" and that Giselle is "what we make her out to be". I feel like these are kind of things you would never see an idol say? Especially in her position, considering aespa isn't necessarily considered an older group yet. She even said that she doesn't know what will happen to her after the livestream, which I find both interesting and concerning. I'm just wondering if she decided to be this open because of something changing about the contract? What do you guys think? I personally haven't seen a 4th gen idol from one of the big 4 companies explicitly separating themselves from the idol persona like this. I think this happening right after aespa released their comeback definitely adds another layer to this. Either way, I appreciate her for being so open and not letting people continue to spread false narratives about her.
