Amid the amazing performances from aespa, netizens shared that the concert had a “special guest,” and it was Naevis. Naevis is a virtual idol created for SM Culture Universe and first appeared in 2020 in “Black Mamba.”

An OP on TikTok went viral after sharing how “dead” the crowd was during Naevis’s solo performance.

Netizens shared their opinions on how confused they were about Naevis’s appearance and just how SM Entertainment was trying to force her on fans when they didn’t want it.

Even on X, Naevis was being criticized, with many sharing how “dead” the crowd was during her set and also their hope that they would remove the solo from the concert.

Fans went to see aespa, and with the controversy around Naevis, many weren’t impressed to see her take up time that could have gone back to the group.
