I'm disappointed at aespa

[Pink Bear]

Not gonna lie, personally I'm finding it hard to believe they're gonna be what's coming after Red Velvet. I mean, Wendy and Seulgi's voices...no one can say they're not absolutely amazing. I keep watching Seulgi's "Uncover" and I always feel like there's really an artist behind the idol image. Their concerts...just so mesmerizing and full of emotion. But Aespa...so far it feels like they want to imitate Itzy, Blackpink and K/DA concept-wise and there is this "normie rich girl" vibe about them that I really don't like. I will still keep an eye on them, see how they shape up in the future, but really hoping there will be more to them because right now it just isn't screaming "artist".

Also their fandom is shaping up to be extra toxic which is what scares me the most TBH. The comment sections are absolutely ridiculous with how offensive they are and even here they often go around clowning posts, as if everyone is outright wrong the moment they have an opinion about Aespa they don't approve of. Surely not making it look welcoming to join the fandom.
