As fans learned more about the members following the group’s line-up being announced, netizens were further intrigued by Giselle, who not only passed SM Entertainment’s infamously difficult Saturday audition but had only trained with SM for less than a year before making her debut.

Giselle’s shorter training period also sparked false rumors as some netizens attempted to claim Giselle was able to join SM Entertainment because she was from a prominent and wealthy family.
During aespa’s recent Knowing Bros appearance, Giselle shut down the rumors and clarified the “golden spoon” allegations herself.
