This week, the most-watched YouTube video in Korea is by the girl group aespa (에스파) with their hit song ‘Supernova.’ This track has quickly become a sensation in Korea and, like much of K-pop, is poised to take the rest of the world by storm.
Aespa consists of four members: two Koreans, one Japanese, and one Chinese. Since their debut in 2019, they’ve been enchanting us with their music. The group’s name, “aespa,” is a combination of “æ,” which stands for “Avatar X Experience,” and the English word “aspect,” representing a duality. The name reflects their unique concept of meeting avatars and experiencing a new world.
Earlier this year in April, aespa pre-released the single “Illusion,” and they will be dropping their second mini-album titled “Girls” in June, alongside their second album “Life’s Too Short.” Additionally, aespa has joined the ranks of Warner Records, becoming the first K-pop group signed by the American label. This marks a significant achievement for the group and the genre, which continues to transcend borders and languages.
