OP: Hello.

Yes, I used ot be a trainee at SM Entertainment.

I was a trainee for aespa.

The aespa members were very rude, especially Giselle and Karina.

Karina swore at me sometimes.

The post containing these anonymous allegations has quickly gone viral on social media, drawing over a million views.

Netizens, however, are convinced that these are false allegations. Some Korean speakers also noted that the language seemed unnatural in those messages— more like something translated using a web tool.

After reading the content of the messages, it doesn’t seem like a Korean person. The tone feels way too unnatural, like Google Translate.
