2023 will be aespa's year

Clickbait title but pretty sure SM is planning something noteworthy for aespa next year. They have been quite silent regarding aespa. I got the feeling SM will promote them better next year (more music show/event attendances, more freedom like uploading song covers on YT instead of their bubble accounts, world tour, etc....) since this year there has been some conflicts between LSM and SM's investors. Hope they'll get everything sorted out in the company before aespa's comeback and there will also be that awaited reality show coming soon!

I was like "Who uploads covers only on bubble", but that does kind of make sense to keep their brand, as only fans really care about covers

Hopefully OP

Them not posting or doing anything has everyone talking about them all the time tho so why change?

Next Level was huge. Savage benefited from the halo effect of coming after a huge hit which appears to be a common phenomenon in KPop. I think MY's are kidding themselves if they think Aespa are going to have another Next Level sized hit. They will probably be a group that peaked in their first year.

new sm and yg ggs next year so NOPE

with newjeans, ive, gidle and now lesserafim surpassing them, aespa will probably lose their top 5 spot next year
