On March 4, 2025, X user @ladidown shared a now-viral clip from Aespa’s SYNK: PARALLEL LINE concert in Paris on the same day. The video captured the members’ reactions to a fan sign in the crowd, reading “Lesbians love Aespa.”
NingNing reacted first, widening her eyes before smiling and waving. Giselle appeared surprised but then grinned, while Karina giggled at the sign before nodding. Winter, however, did not seem to notice the sign. The clip quickly circulated on social media, drawing reactions from fans worldwide.
"Not them saying queeeeen," an X user commented.

Aespa has previously shown support for the LGBTQ+ community as well. At their São Paulo concert in September 2023, fans threw rainbow and lesbian pride flags on stage, which Ningning picked up and interacted with. She danced with the rainbow flag and posed with the lesbian flag, raising her arm.
In another moment from May 2023, Giselle’s hairstyle on Inkigayo caught attention. Her hair had colored extensions that looked like the lesbian pride flag, and fans quickly noticed the similarity. Meanwhile, reactions to the latest clip continue to surface online.
"I’m crying this is so cute," a fan remarked.
"Oh my goodness! AESPA love for lesbians just lit up my day. Such an amazing vibe!" one user said.
"Omg ningselle here is to be expected but karina looking proud is making me blush a little and kick my feet," a person shared.
