aespa finally made a comeback and released a single titled "Next Level" yesterday, Monday (17/8). Since the MV was released, fans have been paying attention to the KWANGYA coordinates that are revealed in it.
According to SM Entertainment, the music video tells the story of the aespa members and their 'ae' colleagues, taking their trip to KWANGYA. The aim is to hunt down the "Black Mamba" that interferes with SYNK aespa and ae, sending the world into chaos.
The song's MV reveals the story of "aespa universe" as the girls take on "Black Mamba" to rise to the top as "The Superstars of KWANGYA". The MV also reveals the previously unreleased coordinates of KWANGYA, which helps fans find their exact location.
In an online community, one fan revealed that the KWANGYA coordinates seen in the music video are actually the location of the new SM Entertainment company building. Fans who made the post revealed that aespa wanted to become an SM Entertainment superstar because KWANGYA showed the location of the company building.
This certainly amazes many fans because it has provided plot and surprises in every detail. "The concept is very interesting," said the fans. "This is SM style is not it, lol," said other fans. "I'll take a walk to KWANGYA next time," exclaimed other fans. "I can't believe that KWANGYA is in Seoul," said other fans in amazement.
The MV for "Next Level" carries a futuristic concept that looks modern and cool. Karina and her friends also presented a new appearance which was certainly different from their style in the debut single "Black Mamba" and the single "Forever."
In a press conference on the same day, Karina commented that she has worked hard to bring out a strong voice. The aespa leader also asked the public to anticipate their intense performance that combines a strong voice and fast choreography. (wk / daughter)
