A 3-year-old Bubble post about a bomb-shaped lamp sparks online debate, with Ningning’s account subsequently going private.

aespa’s Ningning sparked renewed online controversy after a 3-year-old post on the fan platform Bubble showed a “bomb-shaped” lamp. Japanese netizens argued that the lamp resembled the mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion. While many international fans viewed the interpretation as an overreach, the poster who raised the issue later set their account to private. The lamp remains actively sold in Japan, with listings noting its appeal for children’s rooms and gifts, and some posts even reporting it had sold out. As the debate spread across global online communities, the original poster’s account was made private.
