SM releases statement explaining why aespa's Giselle was seen at Incheon Airport without other members

SM Entertainment has released a statement clarifying why Giselle was the only aespa member spotted at the airport following the group's return from New York City.

According to the agency, members Karina, Winter, and Ningning all received COVID-19 tests after arriving at the airport with cold symptoms. The test was conducted as part of the entry procedure; therefore, Giselle was able to enter the country first. No additional information was disclosed.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, aespa performed at the '2021 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,' making them the first K-Pop girl group to do so.

Stay tuned for more news about aespa's end-of-year activities.
