Is it safe to say kicking Soo Man Lee out of SM has made Aespa became more successful ever since?

LSM

obviously LSM paved the way for Aespa's success

Yeah, lsm out helped them in the long run. Their concepts are amazing this year. Thankfully it isn't tree songs.

they always had great songs but it's true a lot of people were turned off by their concept

kicking out lsm, getting rid of kwangya and toning down the ae stuff helped them a lot more than mhj & hybe fiasco, but I admit it did give them a boost

I liked the kwangya though, and I kinda miss it even though I love all their comebacks post lsm
