Why is SM inconsistent with aespa

Quote from ellenote

nobody cared for the kwangya A.I concept, but I did! what about the savage teaser photos, they were so unique and cool, and now all that is gone. Thanks New Jeans. THANKS.

gigantic cargo denim hass done irreparable damage to 4th gen aesthetics

This whole thing was literally planned before NewJeans were even a thing can y'all stop being annoying and start doing research

doesn't mean they're not changing things here and there to suit current market trends

I still like how the first song is called "welcome to the real world"

maybe AESPA is their Red Velvet or F (x) GG
their side GG
their real main GG representative like
SNSD or SES
will debut later

tbh I love their new direction but i was never really a fan of kwangya

I'm guessing Kwangya was more of a LSM thing and mostly promoted and fed by his people, and now that he's gone, the people in control don't feel like continuing the ideas and course that were pushed by the person they have a conflict with?

I thought the whole Kwangya worldbuilding was interesting, also something not seen before in that way in K-pop. And I really liked the MV's and storyline videos that came from it, they were entertaining.

But I also think the execution of a potentially great idea could've been better: it wasn't as much like Marvel MCU Phase 1, but more like a DC trying to build a shared universe or an MCU Phase 4.

Still, if they're going to replace it bc the current management lack the inspiration or don't like to continue LSM's transmedia concepts, they better come up with something at least as enticing, else Aespa might end up as just 1 of the many Gen 4 ggs, falling behind other Gen 4 groups like IVE, New Jeans and (G)I-dle outperforming them.

i kinda wished they had better transition in changing concept. SPICY still has the aespa sound by the MV is absolutely disconnected from their previous MVs. At the very least they could do some hybrid to show the transition (like i think strange phenomenon in real world like the teasers) but instead they go all the way American high school IT girl concept

The aespa new songs are nothing like what Newjeans is putting out LOL. that's quite a reach to say aespa is going NewJeans route. The only thing similar are the Y2K outfits but the feel are totally different

yeah i never said the music is similar lol, its mostly fashion MAYBE, who knows

Quote from SooYoung

It's because you didn't watch the Mv Maybe because they are showing the strange phenomenon happening

Cars falling from the sky

Background glitching when they are dancing

Time stopping and people stopping moving

Etc.....

Oh please i obviously did, being a big fan of aespa. What about the furball monster that was teased in winter teaser?

What i really meant was the downplayed AI / kwangya-related items. With WTMY i can kinds understand but i thought SPICY is focusing on exploring strange phenomenon in real world? No?

Wait black mamba is already deeead? So it only took few music videos to defeat her already?

Quote from SooYoung

Well girls was the end of the Season 1 of SMCU so yes she's dead

Season 1? So there's a season 2? I hope Lee sooman is the final boss

I think their next SMCU episode will explore more about the strange phenomenon. Wouldn't really make sense to mention it in the MV, when the lyrics don't match with it.

I thought SM they were doing SM 2.0 and ditching all of LSM's stuff. But yet they use a song that was written pre-debut.

Does that mean in the 6 months or more after the cast out LSM and had 2 or more workshops they still came up nothing decent?
