Aespa aren't the first group sm send to this event but this is the first time something like this happens. They're incompetent and fucked up for not providing security but you're absolutely revolting for suggesting that this incident was planned. Your disgusting argument isn't any better than victim blame, you're deadass insinuating that it was inevitable for boys to sexually harass Aespa because they're "young, pretty and famous".
SM are in the wrong for the lacking security but even with lacking security no woman should be subjected to that. Maybe try to remember that Aespa are human beings first before you spew some shitty take that's obviously influenced by fandom's drama.
so which is right? first time or they do this often?
I'm not saying that Aespa should've been harassed by some stupid boys, I'm just saying that SM must've known that fans or non-fans will surround them because they are aespa and not some nugu group and if they gave other groups security before, why didn't they do it with Aespa? Especially when their popularity is top notch now and are SM's most popular group rn. are they that incompetent and stupid?
