Aespa (/ˈɛsˌpɑː/ ES-pah; Korean: 에스파; RR: eseupa; MR: esŭp'a, commonly stylized in all lowercase or æspa) is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment. The group consists of four members: Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning. The group is known for popularizing the metaverse concept and hyperpop music in K-pop.[1][2][3]
Aespa debuted on November 17, 2020, with the single "Black Mamba". The song's music video achieved the highest number of views for a K-pop group's debut video in 24 hours, with 21.4 million views.[4] Their second single, "Next Level", was released in May 2021 to widespread commercial success, peaking at number two on the Circle Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100.[5] It earned multiple accolades and Daesang[a] awards, including Song of the Year at the 19th Korean Music Awards and 2021 Melon Music Awards.[6][7] In October 2021, Aespa released their first extended play (EP) Savage and its lead single of the same name. The EP sold 787,600 copies and became the best-selling debut album by an SM Entertainment act at the time;[8] the latter marked Aespa's second top-five song in South Korea and their first top-40 entry on the Billboard Global 200.[9] In July 2022, they released their second EP Girls, which sold 1,850,993 copies and debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[10] Their third EP, My World was released in May 2023, achieving 2.1 million sales and becoming the second best-selling album by a K-pop girl group.[11]
