Aespa's Next Level Continues To Increase Unique listeners on Melon Despite No Promotions

Jeez....

That's amazing!

Knetz appreciating it, the biggest plot twist.

They will release special stage performance tomorrow, hopefully it can keep the momentum until they start promoting on mushow next week

Trolls will be boiling when they read all that

i can't believe Korea is liking the song. It is amazing that the audio is trending too

So true, even MYs here on akp didn't expect that high of a position

in korea next level is trending at #2, the reaction of the girls to the MV at #5, and the audio at #6 on youtube

True. I think OP forgot to mention that their reaction video is trending as well

They're back to #19 again on Melon 24hits

looks like they actually got some momentum with this one

I wonder how high will they chart in the coming days.

Wow i wonder what went wrong with Black Mamba? Like did they just gain all this popularity after BM or is it because of the 'controversies' during their debut?

Nothing went wrong with black mamba, they started to gain more popularity since they started performing black mamba, then sm builded hype for next level way more than black mamba with the teasers and next level seems to fit korea taste.

And like other people already mentioned before sm groups do better with the next comebacks after the debut than own debut, aespa is keeping that tradition

Controversies, concept, and could be the music itself.

Next Level reminds knetz of SM print coz of the song structure. Their lore is also more accepted now after they dropped ep. 1 Black Mamba SMCU and not to mention the hype made by those otherworldly teaser pics. It's a combination of all these things, and of course the girls themselves.

I just want to emphasize SM hasn't sent aespa to any program and variety show yet since their debut and I believe their popularity will increase the day sm do their job and they start promoting them properly

idk about the middle part of the song but how can one not like the beat of most of the song? It's a kpop banger.

I'm so happy for them. They're doing so good
