1. [+255] It's not really fair to say that the members don't have an image that fits with Aespa.. because when Ningning was in Rookies, she had a totally cutesy image but completely switched to a fierce, catty image when she debuted ㅋㅋㅋ All of these idols are popular within their own right but I know that they would be 100 times more popular had they debuted with SM

2. [+289] Kim Jae Hyun is totally SM's type of face ㅠㅠㅠ I personally think if she got styled in Aespa's image, she would fit in immediately... she has a similar vibe to Winter's face, which makes me like her more ㅜ

3. [+126] There are a lot of former SM trainee idols ㅋㅋ

4. [+94] At least they got to debut in other groups. A lot of SM Rookies spend all their teen years as trainees before being kicked out without a debut

5. [+11] Feels kind of weird to picture any of them in Kwangya

6. [+16] They may not have a similar vibe to Aespa now but if you try to picture them individually, I can easily see them in an SM group

7. [+21] I was thinking Wooyeon looked pretty in her webdrama, of course she's a former SM trainee...

8. [+3] Tsuki in Aespa...? I don't think it would match ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+10] Chaehyun really looks like an SM image,,, but more Red Velvet than Aespa

10. [+24] None of them really have Aespa's vibe

Quote from SooYoung

Lmaoo it really reminds me taeyeon when she shade knetz and ex sm trainee

Saying how everytime an ex trainee was know from the public they were always categorize as the " trainee who could have debut with SNSD "

When taeyeon said she never saw most of them in the potential lineup and some of them didn't even stay for a year

I think this only trended because they are trying to use the girls to drag Giselle (I've seen the original comments) and Ningning to a lesser extent. Some people even used it to drag Yeonjung.

But the way some people are saying Ningning (the most talented member in Aespa debatably, best stage presence, best voice, best performer, best live vocals, best execution of choreo) is talenthole and ugly is ridiculous. They're xenophobes through and through.

Quote from Hopkinz

lmao WJSN debuted four years before Aespa. How could they possibly been considering Yeonjung when she's been in Starship since 2015, maybe even earlier. Red Velvet was only one years old at the time and I doubt they were planning anything about another girl group, especially since it took 6 years to happen

a stretch by the OP of the video

Quote from Slayurfaves

just because they were sm trainees doesn't mean they were gonna debut in aespa lol yeonjung debuted in IOI in 2016

I thought they were talking about the ex trainees

Maybe the better title would've been "who could have debuted in aespa/sm" but the original OP titled it as this so I just left it
