The 4th gen Kpop monster rookie and next million-seller queen, aespa, has once again ignited both the public’s awe and sympathy. Not only had aespa achieved a surprising result for the first-day sales record of “Girls” album, but they also had to face a mobbing incident at Incheon airport recently.

Before Lisa, the highest first-week sales record belonged to BLACKPINK “THE ALBUM” with 689,066 copies.
Today, aespa managed to shock everyone and smashed those a-week worth of records in just one day. It means aespa holds the fourth highest first-day sales record in Hanteo history with their “Girls” album, after BTS, SEVENTEEN, and TXT.
aespa Members Revealed MORE Personality Facts After Getting Mobbed at Incheon Airport
On the other hand, life is not always sunshine and rainbow for the promising 4th gen queens. Amidst the shining achievement aespa reached with their first-day album sales for “Girls”, they had to experience uncomfortable situations during their trip home.
On July 10, aespa was seen arriving at the Incheon Airport upon completing their schedules for UN speech and GMA concert. During this time, a massive crowd gathered at the airport, waiting for the girls to arrive.
And as aespa members appeared, the gathering crowd became even more uncontrollable. While Karina and Winter seemed to have successfully passed them safe and sound, the wild crowd had apparently harmed one of aespa members, Giselle.

What Really Happened?
While nobody witnessed what had happened during aespa arrival, one of the fans’ cameras caught Giselle limping towards the airport exit.
Giselle seemed to have a hard time making her way back from the arrival gate, especially with the people in the crowd pushing her from both sides.

This incident is one of the many examples of the privacy issues aespa discussed in “SM Culture Universe” Ep 2. The lack of privacy and personal space resulted in many Kpop idols being prone to more harm when a massive crowd gathered without giving them some personal space. A similar mobbing case previously happened to Stray Kids Felix and Han.
This angers me so much I’m honestly so disgusted with the airport mobbing that happened to stray kids, hyunjin is being aggressively pushed around and Felix tripped then pushed into the door and han got pushed onto the floor hurting his arm.. wtf is wrong with these “fans” pic.twitter.com/igL27TYZEJ

MORE aespa Members Personality Facts: Giselle Kept on Smiling and Accepting Fans’ Letter Despite Limping
And finally, more impressive personality facts came from aespa Giselle herself. Despite her limping and difficulties reaching the airport exit, Gisele kept smiling at the fans and reporters.
