aespa’s Ningning Triggers Mixed Reactions With Controversial Object In Her Room

aespa‘s Ningning is receiving negative reactions from netizens after a controversial post resurfaced.

Previously, she posted a video of a lamp that she purchased.

The lamp resembles a mushroom cloud, a cloud of smoke that is often seen after a nuclear bomb explosion.

I bought a pretty light, how is it?

The lamp has different light/color settings and is meant to sit on a tabletop.

However, many Japanese netizens found issue with the lamp as it resembles the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during World War II.

Ningning has a bad attitude, and I can’t forget that she sent a lamp shaped like an atomic bomb mushroom cloud on Bubble.

• “Don’t ruin the mood, just laugh, Japanese people.”
• “No but Ningning herself is so pretty, so why is her taste like that lmao.”
• “For real, freaking hilarious lol.”
• LMFAO.
• “Yeah, I can see why people would get triggered lol.”
