I LOVE mint choco, it is the superior flavor

That's reaching... I watched the teaser several times and I didn't even notice the odd eye. It's just an introduction video, not a MV teaser. None of this scenes may be in the actual MV and even if they do, they probably will be there only for aesthetic purposes and won't have anything to do with their lore. aespa's concept is virtual avatars, not the moon.

Karina's performance with Kai was truly impressive ! So sad that so many people are hating on her just because she was in the live. I really like the teaser, I think that the girls look even prettier on motion especially Giselle and Winter. The part where Giselle has a sword reminds me a bit of Cherry Bullet's Q&A and I really like it.

Koeun isn't in the girlgroup, she's active on instagram since february. So unless they allow their trainees to use social medias, she's not a trainee anywhere at the moment

But what are they supposed to do ? Remove her form the performance ? If it is a duet then it means that they have to change EVERYTHING just because of rumors around Karina, that they already answered. There's hundreds of people involved in the rumor and SM are suing them. They can't realistically do much more.

Does Harbin have a specific language or do they speak mandarin chinese there? Because it could be another language. If we're talking about western language then I think the girls might learn spanish. It is one of the most spoken languages in the world and there's a market for kpop in latin America. As a French I would die for them to speak it but there's no way that's happening lol. I think there's more chances for them to learn portuguese as kpop is extremely popular in Brazil. They could be learning a SEA language too but which one ? Thai ? Tagalog ? Bahasa ? Hard to know

No, the AI are only virtual versions of the members. aespa is the group in real life while æspa is the virtual version group. Honestly I don't really now. Yes probably since SM is obsessed with the west for a very long time. But from my knowledge, the only one who can speak english is Giselle and she's japanese not a native english speaker. She never even lived in an english speaking country, only went to an international school in Japan. So while she may be more ""westernized""" than the other girls, I don't know if she's going to be relatable enough for a western audience to actually be interested in her, other than for her predebut pics. Except for BTS, groups who do well with the general public in the West are usually groups with native english speakers... So we'll see. I think the number is attractive for western audiences, as for their music it is too early to know. The AI thing is going to creep out a lot of people so that's the one big thing that makes me doubt they are going to be successful. BUT Grimes follows them on Twitter and you know with whom Grimes collaborated ? Loona. And you know to whom she is married ? Elon Musk. Elon Musk being who he is, I really wouldn't be surprised if in a few years SM and Elon Musk collaborate. He may be really worried about AI, he could be interested in aespa and help a bit to make them bigger in the West... If I were SM I would try to make them successful in Japan. Japan already has Love Live ! and Bandori which are both very popular. Even though they're not the same thing, I feel like it is close enough to appeal to gamers, otaku and other type of fans

Ningning since she's my bias since 2016 and my ult since 2017 Other than her I'm really curious about all of the other girls. I may have a preference for now for Jimin because of how charismatic she is. I also feel a Jennie vibe from her and that's a big compliment. She's gonna be an it girl.

Ningning. I'm ulting her since 2017 and as someone who only had 2 ults in her life (previous one was SHINee's jonghyun and I only stopped ulting him well.. we all know why) I'm not planning on dropping her anytime soon

I like that they're 4, they're standing out from the 7 members girlgroups from 4th gen and they should all get lines, especially Ningning. And we all know how rare it is for chinese members to get lines. I really don't think that we're getting a subunit

so we're really getting a competition between aespa and ygngg (and maybe bhngg?) for 2021 ROTY... Well at least it's going to be interesting. Between them in Mystic Girls we're getting a lot of talented and popular groups next year, it's gonna change from these last past 3 years where ROTY was predictable

they're so pretty !!! thank you for making them

That's exactly my guess ! I think we're getting group pictures today. If they're debuting mid-november I don't think we're getting more members

I wonder why that articles says that Aeri was born in 2001 when we know from her yearbook that it isn't true, she's a 2000's liner.. Yeah but Loona's concept is way different than the one of other girlgroups. They were all introduced with solo tracks, then unit and then group. Usually groups who debut a subunit first always end up having huge popularity gaps. I really don't see the point in doing that and I really don't want that for aespa. The only exception would be if these girls debut as a first subunit and the next ones as another subunit until forming a group all together. If there's only 1 subunit and then members added then it's going to be a recipe for disaster and if the next girls aren't as talented as the ones we already know, we may end up with another RV situation. Anyways, I know I wanted a huge group but at this point I doubt it's gonna happen. I saw people saying that aespa got 1 teaser a day like snsd unlike rv and f(x) who got teasers all the same day but I don't think it means anything. LSM said that they are going to get diverse and innovative activities so it may apply to teasers. Finally, SM said they would debut in november. If they planned to debut a subunit first I think they would have worded articles differently by mentionning a subunit or not saying anything at all, like they're doing with the number of members right now.

I like Giselle, that's an elegant name. Idk how it is in the USA but in my country is a very known name and not associated to middle aged women at all. It's becoming trendy again. I love her pictures she's really pretty !! Based on her predebut pics I feel like she's gonna be funny

Perso j'ai de la chance car j'ai eu mon diplôme en mai et je travaille à domicile pour une compagnie étrangère donc confinement ou pas, ça n'a aucun impact sur mes revenus ni sur mon confort de travail. Par contre j'en ai marre de devoir sortir avec un masque et de devoir subir les mauvais choix des autres. Y'a rien de compliqué à respecter les règles, le pays va finir par s'écrouler juste parce que certains ont décidé que c'est mieux de faire la fête et de pas porter de masques parce que "ouin j'arrive pas à respirer" (foutaises, ça n'a aucun impact) que de protéger soi-même et les autres pour se débarasser le plus vite possible du virus. Et je parle même pas de ceux qui pensent qu'on veut les contrôler et que le potentiel futur vaccin va les pucer. Je suis à un point où je suis d'avis de laisser la sélection naturelle faire son travail, laisser les réac mourir pour être une bonne fois pour toutes débarassés et bien fait pour eux.

i'm a lockdown girl even when we aren't in lockdown... that's what i get for leaving in a small village dans la diagonale du vide ! so i'm doing great

Oh I get what you mean, I remember that was an issue with the Polar Express movie. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, I understand the points that the ones creeped about it are making. I just wanted to bring another perspective. Ningning looks amazing!! I'm so happy she's debuting. And as a Paris Hilton enthusiast I have to stan Aeri, she knows her classics

Okay so am I really the only one who loves that concept.....? I really don't see what's creepy about it. First of all, all of the current known members are adults. Second, I don't see much different with Hatsune Miku. And Hatsune Miku isn't creepy and I really don't think that her fans are creepier than most real idols fans. The AI are probably there only for the concept and maybe on some concerts, there is NO WAY they are actual members a group since they are another version of the members. I personally think that's unique and interesting, it kinda reminds me of Cherry Bullet and their video games concept but in a different way. I really hope that there's more members. I don't care THAT much about visuals, I personally love big groups and 4 members is quite short. Especially if one member eventually leaves the group (which I really don't want but happens frequently especially with foreign members). But I'll stan them regardless of the number of members. Ninging grew so much I could barely recognize her !!! She still looks very cute. I can't wait to see her pictures. As a Mystory, there is NO WAY that Mystic Girls are debuting under SMCU. They are under Mystic Entertainment, that's an entirely different agency and the concept they seem to be going for is different than what SM does. That would be like saying that Infinite or Lovelyz were an SM group, that isn't the case. Just because Mystic is a SM subsidiary doesn't make them the same agency.

There's some people on Twitter calling Jimin 'Yooji' and I think it would be a very cute stage name ! I honestly wonder how is it possible that there's so many mistranslations. I translated stuff before and google translate / papago are pretty accurate to get the general meaning of a text or a sentence.

This is probably the prettiest profile pictures I've ever seen. For real. I'm so hyped for this group !!!! Minjeong does look like Taeyeon, at first I thought it was Taeyeon. Winter is a pretty stage name, I don't think we'll get all of the seasons even if they debut as 4. I wonder who we're gonna get tomorrow. I can't wait to see my girl Ningning

Me too. I don't think that we're getting a full group picture today

I think we'll get something today. They are debuting in november and there's 5 days left until november. If they start releasing teasers now they can debut a bit before mid-november

I hope not... I'm an Orbit and personally I disliked every song LSM made for them... I think we're getting some kind of futuristic concept, something strong but still public friendly music-wise. Also I wouldn't make too many speculations based on the logo teaser, it's just a logo after all and SM likes to be dramatic. I doubt that the sound used has anything to do with the actual concept of the group. I'm waiting for photo / video teasers.

aespa is sm's youtube banner. i don't think they would put that much promo for just a project... and we would've probably heard about it on the news. also taemin seemed to be the only one knowing what that is and jimin is kinda linked to them so yeah... still betting on the ggroup
