Hi! Does anyone know if aespa will be promoting Next Level on music shows? 

I'm pretty sure they're promoting on Show Champion too since we can vote for them on the app... Unless attendance isn't required to win ?

I don''t have a top5, but France. I'm not saying that because it's my country but because we actually have a good song for once. It's a "variété" song, which is a  typical (while not usually popular among young people) french music genre so I think it represents us well but I don't know if it's going to make us win... not as if it would matter since eurovision is only geopolitics but oh well...

I've never seen an album looking so cheap... No wonder fans are mad, I wouldn't spend a cent on a physical copy if that's what I would get. They should've released a digital album instead

Is she still at 8D ? 

As a non-fan, these news are really unexpected for me. They may have hit their peak a few years ago, they're still really popular and are doing extremely well. I wonder what happened for the 6 of them to leave the agency. I'm curious to see what are they planning to do with their careers now

I LOVE IIIT

Looks like the 5PM showcase got cancelled....?

I can't wait for 6PM, I've never watched Fast & Furious so I don't know the original song and I refuse to listen to it to have the full surprise

The pictures are beautiful and look like a continuation of Black Mamba. I can't wait for this comeback aaah 

aespa always have the most beautiful teasers!

A single..... Can't say I'm not disappointed

It looks like something that could be made for NCT... But that was the case of aespa's very first teaser too so it doesn't mean anything. I'm waiting for the next teasers before making my own opinion

aespa vocal group  

What do you think about Forever ? I like it personally, it is basically the same song as the original so that's what I expected. All of the girls sing so well, they could all be main vocalists if it wasn't aespa  The most perfect girlgroup !

I'm curious about the choreography 

The trainee and Jin do look a like, but I don't think that Youngjae looks similar to Jin

Are they gonna mix uniform outfits with the last ones on the MV? Today outfits are designed by Kay Kim same designer like black mamba so if they designed these outfits specifically for them, that's what probably they'll wear during music shows (if they go to) or maybe they will exchange with uniform ones like they did with BM music shows..

Uniform outfits ? Are you talking about the first photo teasers we got ? I'm not sure I understand which outfits you're talking about...

I think you may be onto something ! Red Velvet went to a few music shows to promote Be Natural so I can't see why aespa wouldn't. They will probably wear these outfits at least once, but then I hope the choreo isn't too complicated because the skirts are extremely short. I would prefer them dancing with the 1st outfits, it would probably be easier for the girls

Yeah.... I don't like these photos. I think I get where they're going for (kinda kpop old school vibes ?) but I think that these pictures and outfits look cheap

I'm really curious to see how it's going to turn out... I also wasn't expecting this kind of concept with this song. Forever is a winter song but (for now) the photo teasers look nothing like winter. This is the type of pictures I would have expected if they released a remake of one of BoA, SES or SNSD's biggest hits. I'm also really curious to see the choreography, I really hope it will be as good as Be Natural's as it is one of my favorites in kpop

fqdgosd yesss bresil i tried like 4 times before remembering it's BRA

and for morocco... marocco... marroco... french is ruining it all

SAME FOR ME i tried all variations of morrocco or whatever it's spelled until I finally got it. I also had a problem with Lebanon, I was sure it was spelled like in French

I got 92, but like Koya I got frustrated because I didn't know the names of many countries in english, only in French

I think the girls can pull it off well, specially if we get stage performances. Let's see how things go, the song is a bit corny/sweet but not your usual ballad type and it fits with covid situation. The group just debuted, if the song flops hard they will always have their next comeback to recover from that which I believe it'll be black mamba style but at least we're hearing their voices this time which I think many of us were asking for.

Not many groups dare to release a ballad as title track/single, if things go well, they'll stand out from other groups and they'll be recognized as a talented group and not as another kpop group else. But yeah, forever as promotional side track would have worked fine and it would be less risky but I guess the mini-album isn't finished yet?? And they're buying some time with this single.

It ended up being a special single, like Be Natural so I'm relieved. It technically doesn't count as a real comeback, are they going to get full promotions or just go to 1 or 2 music shows ?

All the girls have really good vocals so I wasn't worried about them being able to pull off well a ballad because I know they can do it perfectly. I was more worried about how well it would do  ! But no need to worry now. They probably re-arranged the song to make it sound more modern so I can't wait to hear (and see) how it's going to turn out, especially since the original song is nearly 6 minutes which is beyond all of my biggest dreams and Naria made the choreography

I hope that Forever is just a SM STATION and not their comeback song. I like ballads but not as title tracks. Black Mamba was a very powerful song and people expect them to release something as powerful and to show their sound: I really don't think that giving them a ballad is a good idea for that, not so early in their career. I think that the best would be to give them another powerful and catchy song as a title track and to make Forever a promotional side track so they get to show 2 sides of them without taking the risk of flopping hard (which usually happens with ballads...)

Don't forget to vote for aespa on the mubeat app !! Secret Number are now 1st and they keep widening the gap

I don't know if Yebin will make it, she still hasn't apologized for a cultural appropriation scandal. I know that a lot of international fans are (rightfully) pissed and right now their international fanbase is bigger than their korean one. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up leaving, which I hope won't happen since I follow her since Lipbubble predebut era and she deserves to redebut.

I think that Jia has a really high chance to make it. Grex, Hanhee and Mizin have a good chance to make it

I think it's too early to predict anything but I really hope that all of my favs will make it (do they have a thread here on OH ?)

Don't they need 1 million votes to debut? I don't really follow them, is anyone close to making it yet?

No, they're all very far from making it. Honestly I think that 1 million is a bit too ambitious, Deepstudio is promoting them well but they're still a nugu agency, it could take years until one of them reaches 1 million votes (assuming that none of the girls leaves, which could happen if it takes too long. Or that fans don't get tired of waiting and leave the fandom)

Finally a thread for me !

Cupid

Coloring Book

Bungee

Non Stop

Closer

Windy Day

Secret Garden

The Fifth Season

Remember Me

A-ing (could be at the top of my list if it wasn't for the annoying rap parts that totally ruin the song)

Liar Liar

I had a hard time ranking Cupid, Coloring Book, Bungee and Non Stop because I love them so much
