Giselle’s has become the center of controversy after being spotted wearing a hat that resembles the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) style, widely associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump and far-right political movements.
The image quickly spread across international fan communities and even trended on social media, igniting heated debates.
The incident comes on the heels of a similar controversy with BTS’s Jungkook, who faced backlash for wearing a hat from a brand criticized for its MAGA-like design. He promptly apologized after the issue gained attention.
In response to the rising controversy, the brand behind the hat issued a statement clarifying that the slogan was not intended to carry any political message. Instead, it was meant to convey a “fashion-forward reinterpretation” inspired by American streetwear aesthetics, with the intention of celebrating cultural influence rather than advocating any specific political stance.
Comments from Pann:
- The brand of Jungkook’s hat explained that it symbolizes fashion prosperity and is not a political message. Other hats with similar phrases are also being used by various global fashion brands regardless of support for Trump—it’s a trend. If you look into it, there are tons. Both sides are acting irrationally and trying to stir division, so let’s just ignore them.
- This is the fourth identical post—please ignore it.
- To those DC trolls pretending to be MYs to bash Jungkook and pretending to be ARMYs to bash Giselle—stop trying to pit fans against each other and go make some money, please.
- Did some internal anti-fan group seriously swarm in from a group chat and flood the comments with over 100 posts attacking Jungkook, Giselle, and other celebrities all at once? Is this real?
- aespa is currently pursuing legal action, and considering how persistent you are, yours is likely to go through quite smoothly, LOL.
As K-pop idols continue to gain global visibility, incidents like this underscore the increasing scrutiny over every detail—from fashion choices to perceived political affiliations.
