For those not in the know, aespa doesn’t just have four members; the group is actually an octet if you include their virtual alter egos called ae-aespa.
Initially, the ae members were part of the group’s concept and played a role in aespa’s storytelling since before debut.
But, for quite some time we haven’t seen the virtual avatars take center stage.
Even Giselle herself seemed confused about their whereabouts.
Fan: Where is ae-aespe?
Giselle: I don’t know! Where is ae-aespa? I’m curious, too. I kind of miss them. I want to see them, but yeah they’re gone. I don’t know.
