aespa's Giselle leaves Seattle concert due to health concerns

aespa member Giselle was forced to leave the stage during a concert in Seattle on October 9, 2026, after her health condition deteriorated. Although she had experienced cold symptoms earlier that morning, she initially decided to proceed with the performance alongside group members Karina, Winter, and Ningning.

Following the opening performance, her condition worsened significantly, prompting medical staff and venue personnel to intervene and mandate rest. SM Entertainment confirmed that Giselle would be unable to participate in the remainder of the show, including scheduled fan interaction sessions such as the Hi-Bye and Send-Off events. The agency stated they are prioritizing her recovery and providing necessary medical care.
