Wardrobe malfunctions are a rite of passage for many musicians — just as aespa's Ningning. If you're singing, dancing, and moving around the stage at a fast clip, chances are you may have an issue with your outfit at one point or another. That's exactly what just happened to Ningning, but she handled her onstage malfunction like the superstar she is.

Fans captured what appeared to be a wardrobe malfunction on camera during a recent aespa performance as part of the group's Synk: Parallel Line tour.

As the group performed their song “Armageddon,” Ningning's black miniskirt started to tear or become undone. The singer noticed what was happening immediately and quickly grabbed it right at the waistband where it was ripping, not missing a beat of her choreo and holding the garment together to keep it in place as long as she could. What a pro!

We're pretty sure the wardrobe team will be reinforcing all the costumes to make sure this doesn't happen again, but Ningning dealt with it in the perfect way. (You can see videos of the mishap here.)

Ningning isn't the only star who has dealt with an onstage wardrobe malfunction recently. In May, Olivia Rodrigo's bra top came loose while she was performing a Guts tour stop, but she, too, handled it like a champ and kept singing.

Bad Bunny, too, dealt with some (literally) sticky wardrobe issues when his pants got stuck to a dancer's tights as she grinded her hips on him, and the pair were stuck together until another dancer helped separate them. Even Beyoncé has dealt with wardrobe issues in the past, so it truly happens to everyone!
