aespa member Giselle has made a guest appearance on the Korean variety show Study King Real Genius (공부왕찐천재), joining comedian Hong Jinkyung for a fun-filled episode centred on everyday household tips. The appearance was announced by aespa's official X account (@aespa_official).
What Happened on the Show?
According to the post shared on @aespa_official, Hong Jinkyung took it upon herself to pass on a set of household life hacks to the "top girl group" aespa. The challenges featured in the episode include pouring drinks, folding underwear, and peeling fruit — the kind of surprisingly competitive domestic skills that variety shows like this one love to turn into must-watch television.

Translated, the caption reads: "Why did Hong Jinkyung risk it all to pass on household tips to top girl group aespa? (Pouring drinks, folding underwear, peeling fruit)" — suggesting the episode leans into Hong Jinkyung's larger-than-life comedic energy as she coaches the group through the challenges.
