Giselle's birthday gift: ‘Love Riot’ fans ask for a streaming release

Who gets the gift when an artist releases a music video on her own birthday? Following Giselle's October 30 ‘Love Riot’ release on aespa's official channel, fans combined warm birthday wishes with requests to stream the song. We follow the verified source and real X replies.

aespa's verified official X account @aespa_official posted the MV link at 10 p.m. KST on October 30, 2026. The official YouTube video runs about 2 minutes 54 seconds. The post confirms the title and link, not any particular scene we could not view in full.

The upload coincided with Giselle's birthday events. October 31 third-party snapshots recorded roughly 400,000 to 500,000 video views, thousands of comments and an appearance on a Korean trending chart. These are historical estimates from different snapshots—not a live total or a favorability poll.

Three directly observed replies reveal different angles. Korean user @2ynch praised the video's atmosphere and anticipated repeat viewing. @pr416sar loved the MV and asked about Spotify availability. Spanish-language user @lveswinter described the birthday release as a gift from Giselle to fans. These are selected replies, not a claim about all fans or unseen YouTube comments.

October 30 also featured the officially announced online ‘2026 GISELLE B-day PARTY [In MY Blood]’ event, helping explain why replies interpreted the video as a birthday gift. Its precise relationship to production and distribution is unverified.

The original is YouTube ID cU8BEe99RzM, linked by aespa's official X account. The upload date is October 30 and its third-party listed length is 2:54. An external chart records No. 48 in Korea on October 31. A Spotify request does not establish a streaming release. We could not play the full video or directly inspect YouTube comments.

Next checks: an official audio-streaming release, production credits and later official posts. Direct access to the full video and its comments would permit scene-specific reporting.
