Espa "SM management dispute? No problem"

Group aespa returned after a 10-month hiatus.

Aespa held a showcase commemorating the release of their third mini album 'MY WORLD' at 2:30 pm on the 8th. It has been about 10 months since the second mini album ‘Girls’.

On this day, Winter said regarding the recent management dispute at SM Entertainment, "It had no direct impact," and "It felt like we had formed our own team."

He then confessed, "I feel grateful for the love from many people. I will do my best to become an artist worthy of the love given to me." Giselle also added, "It's been a long time since we made a comeback. It will be an activity to repay the fans who have been waiting."

Unlike previous albums, the new album 'My World' is a work equipped with 'popularity'. In relation to this, Ningning said, "Aespa is a group with two sides. Before, it had a combative feel, but this time it contained a summer atmosphere. I want to try a variety of music in the future."

He also said, "I went to Tokyo Dome in August. Due to COVID-19, there were few opportunities to meet fans directly. Now that things have cleared up, I am often meeting with domestic and overseas fans. I hope there will be more opportunities like this."

Karina said, "I always do my best when preparing an album. Although it took 10 months this time, it is an album I am confident about." In addition, he said, "During the concert, in addition to this album, many other songs were released. I hope they will be featured on a regular album or another album in the future."

Karina said, "We have already defeated the villain 'Black Mamba' in Season 1 of the wilderness worldview. Because of that, there is no villain in Season 2 of the worldview. However, as the abnormal phenomenon continues, I hope you will enjoy watching it."

The title song 'Spicy' is a dance song that stands out with strong synth bass sounds and dynamic beats. You can meet each member's unique vocals in a new atmosphere that is different from the intense music they have played so far.

In addition, this music video is expected to receive a good response as it has a stylish visual appeal that makes you feel like watching a teen movie, as well as a worldview story of an 'abnormal phenomenon' that happens to Espa who returns from the wilderness (KWANGYA) to the REAL WORDL.

Aespa's third mini album 'My World' will be released on various music sites at 6 PM on this day.
