Girl group aespa, comprising members Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning, is gearing up to storm the music charts with their debut full-length album “Armageddon” set for release on May 27th.
In anticipation of the full album, aespa will deliver a taste of their new music with the pre-release of the double title track “Supernova” from “Armageddon” on May 13th.
This landmark album includes a total of 10 tracks, spotlighting “Supernova” and the titular “Armageddon”.
As aespa’s first full-length work since their 2020 debut, the album is enveloped in high expectation and enthusiasm from fans.
The group became a focal point when ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin mentioned them at a press event on April 25th, following the revelation of a KakaoTalk conversation with HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk.
In the shared messages, Bang Si-hyuk humorously inquired, “(Your group) can step on aespa, right?” to which Min Hee-jin lightheartedly responded with a laugh. She clarified her stance at the press conference, stating her disbelief at the suggestion and her personal ethos against such competitive behavior.
The exchange sparked a meme among netizens and shone the spotlight even more on aespa’s coming activities.
Additionally, the timing of aespa’s return is notably close to that of NewJeans, with the latter’s album “How Sweet” releasing on May 24th, just days before aespa’s.
NewJeans teased fans with the music video for “Bubble Gum” today (April 27th), setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
aespa has established a firm presence with hits like “Black Mamba”, “Next Level”, “Savage”, “Spicy”, and “Drama” since their explosive debut.
Meanwhile, NewJeans has captured hearts with their standout tracks “Attention”, “Hype Boy”, “Super Shy”, and “ETA” since their 2022 debut.
