Giselle donates to animal shelter

Fans of aespa were touched as the animal shelter revealed that Giselle had been the one to donate 10 million won ($7.9K) and that she has often shown an interest in helping abandoned animals. The Instagram post was full of supportive comments as other animal lovers commended Giselle for her thoughtful action. However, there were some Knetz and non-fans who have been sending hate since the anonymous donation was revealed and claimed that it was a strategy to make aespa look good.

Some Knetz made sarcastic posts like, “Don't forget she donated >anonymously<.” Another added, “It's random, but I bet SM have to give their agreement for donations like that too.. Nowadays, Aespa's image haven't been good so I wonder if they're trying to set them up like that…” One tweeted, “Giselle and anonymous make it make sense.”

‘Best girl’

But fans are not having it and are slamming back at the haters, “Anonymous or not it was a good dead. The hate for Aespa/Giselle is ridiculous at this point. If it was another popular 4th gen female idol the comments 100% wouldn’t look like this.” Another posted, “A few days ago, Giselle made an anonymously donate to a yuhengsa (a nonprofit organization to helps abandoned animals) with a total of 10,000,000 won. She’s an angel fr.”

One said, “10,000,000 won is 423,546.47 in philippine peso that's a lot of money, but giselle did not hesitate to donate that much money. GISELLE YOU'RE THE BEST.” Another commented, “If you received such a big amount of donation you'll literally dig it out to figure who's who. Try to think before you tweet something, they tweeted it to show their gratitude.” One joked, “Hellow giselle can you donate to me, i'm a homo sapien specie under kingdom animalia/j ANYWAYS BEST GIRL.” Another shared, “I love everyone who donates to animal shelters, they deserve to live in better conditions and getting love.”
