Netizens call aespa losing its trademark in the latest comeback (Twitter @aespa_official)
Lee Soo Man has left SM Entertainment, the entertainment agency he had built for years due to internal conflicts.
Korean Celeb Gossip - Before leaving SM Entertainment, Lee Soo Man debuted the girl group aespa. aespa is quite different from other girl groups, because they carry a unique futuristic concept.
aespa also has its own universe called Kwangya. Kwangya is the home of aespa and his avatars.
Since their debut, aespa has always presented unique music videos using Kwangya as the background. Most of their songs also tell about their fight with Black Mamba, aespa's enemy.
However, aespa's last comeback with the song "Spicy" on Monday (08/05) is said to have lost their characteristics.
"Spicy" indeed presents a new nuance from aespa who looks fresh with a summer theme in the music video.
However, this actually caused debate, because some netizens felt that there was no missing Aespa's signature because of "Spicy". They felt that "Spicy" had the same feel as "Dream Come True".
Netizens also gave various comments on this matter.
"Their identity feels more like 'Salty & Sweet' and they also have Naevis in their intro song, but I was wondering if there was more they could do to keep their mark",
"I feel that the people here are just cranky",
"But here you guys are talking about the inferiority complex in Pann. They will grumble at every little thing female idols do and look at them through narrow glasses.
I'm not only talking about aespa, but also NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, IVE and others.
After a girl group comeback, they will say nonsense like, the result is a failure, that's it, their song sucks, etc. to incite public opinion,"
"I'm so glad that aespa's old concept is gone, because they won't be choosing similar songs anymore. You can hear their voices a lot more and I think it would be better this way",
"Besides MY (aespa's fandom name), everyone is disappointed," and many other comments.
