'Horribly rude': aespa's NingNing and Giselle's behavior towards IVE questioned amid Karina post controversy
The controversy surrounding aespa continues to escalate. Fresh allegations now target members Ningning and Giselle for allegedly mocking IVE's Liz and Rei during previous public appearances. This follows the recent political backlash tied to Karina 's Instagram post. Since then, the group has been under intense scrutiny. Despite swift clarifications from both Karina and SM Entertainment, online criticism has not subsided. Now, aespa finds itself embroiled in a new wave of controversy, this time over alleged behavior toward fellow girl group IVE. Past moments resurface Netizens have recently resurfaced clips from major year-end music shows. They claimed that aespa members behaved insensitively toward IVE members during vulnerable moments. The first incident reportedly occurred at the 2023 Melon Music Awards, when IVE's Liz and Rei became emotional during an acceptance speech. A month later, during the 2023 Gayo Daejejeon, Ningning and Giselle were seen covering their faces in a gesture that some interpreted as mockery of IVE's previous tearful moment. Another focal point of criticism came from footage showing aespa members smiling during Rei's heartfelt speech at the MMAs. However, some fans argue it was misunderstood. Fans push back Supporters of aespa have quickly pushed back against the backlash, offering alternative perspectives. Many have pointed out that the gesture made by Ningning and Giselle occurred while singer Lee Juck's emotionally resonant song Don't Worry played. It is a track known to move audiences to tears. In this context, fans argue that the members were simply reacting to the sentimental performance and not mocking anyone. Regarding the incident involving Rei's speech, fans believe the smiles from aespa were not rooted in malice. It rather reflected warmth or empathy in response to Rie's sudden tone shift. Karina's post controversy Earlier, aespa's Karina faced backlash when she uploaded a series of photos on Instagram on May 26. The post stirred political debate. In it, Karina was seen wearing a bright red jacket with the number '2' prominently displayed. She captioned the image with a single rose emoji. While the post appeared harmless at first glance, some online users interpreted the imagery as a subtle nod to a conservative political party in South Korea. The party is said to be associated with the color red and the number 2. This led to accusations that Karina was expressing political support, triggering backlash from those who believed idols should avoid politically suggestive content. Ongoing scrutiny Despite the explanations, aespa remains under the microscope, with the recent controversies putting their public image at risk. Online discussions continue to dissect the group's behavior at past events, fueling ongoing debates across social media platforms.

Nick Kroll shares shocking insight into John Mulaney's relapse ahead of famous intervention
Big Mouth creator Nick Kroll has shared his deepest fears about watching his friend and collaborator, fellow comedian John Mulaney, spiral during his drug addiction relapse in 2020. On the latest episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Kroll candidly explained the process of trying to organize the now-famous 2020 intervention that prompted Mulaney to check into rehab. 'It was so scary and brutal to go through because he was in New York. I was in LA. It was at the height of the pandemic,' Kroll explained on the podcast. 'So it was incredibly stressful to be in the midst of the pandemic, trying to literally coordinate and produce an intervention, bringing a bunch of different people together, friends from college.' In addition, Kroll's wife was about to give birth. 'And I was shooting Don't Worry, Darling, which there was no stress there,' he joked of the highly publicized drama surrounding the film. 'Then John was running around New York City like a true madman. And I was so deeply scared that he was gonna die,' Kroll continued. 'And I was trying to orchestrate all this of combining all the elements that go into these things, like the intervention person, where he was gonna go, who was gonna be at it. 'It was so f***ing stressful.' Kroll continued: 'You're all of a sudden going back being like, oh, that's why I've had an inconsistent friend for the last X amount of time. Oh, this explains that. And so it gives you both empathy for them and also tremendous amount of anger because they've been lying to you.' Kroll recalled being on the phone with Mulaney and sharing his fears. 'Both of us crying, me just being like, I'm so scared you're gonna die,' Kroll said. 'And so I felt him feeling the same way, but also like, just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, I'm in this new Airbnb. I gotta go.' The infamous intervention involved about a dozen of Mulaney's famous friends, including Kroll and late night host Seth Meyers. They all convened in New York and lured Mulaney to attend after convincing him he was having dinner with a friend from college. Speaking to Meyers on his eponymous show in September 2021, Mulaney said: 'When I opened the door, I knew right away it was an intervention. That's how bad of a drug problem I had, that when I opened a door and saw people, I went, 'This is probably an intervention about my drug problem.'' Mulaney went straight to rehab from the staged intervention and stayed for two months. He admitted to being addicted to Adderall, Xanax, Klonopin, and Percocet, and was also heavily using cocaine. The comedian then turned the ordeal into a Netflix special called John Mulaney: Baby J, which debuted in 2023. Mulaney has credited the intervention with saving his life. 'I don't mean to be weird. It was a star-studded intervention. It was, like, a good group,' Mulaney said of the intervention in the Netflix special. Despite being angry at the time, he did acknowledge that the act was life-changing. 'I am grateful to everyone at my intervention,' Mulaney said in the Netflix special. 'They intervened. They confronted me and they totally saved my life.'
