Display Morewell it's because you doesn't follow aespa concept
because we had the AE working in a game for the seoul ambassadory
and people could even take pictures with the AE
when it's a member GG birthday you always see SM staff posting pictures of the aespa members acting like they are the AE doing it to furemore push this whole " AE who live in the virtual world and interact and communicate with the members "
you also have the SMCU episode where you can see the AE appear in the real world and go further in Aespa concept of digital and real world and how AE and human interact with each other
they also appear in their dance performance even if it's for 20 seconds to once again push this whole narrative of AE being able to communicate with aespa members in the real world
We also had the "MY karina " video who also push aespa concept and use the AE
aespa concept goes way beyond just their MV, you can't judge the importance and use that sm do of ae and aespa concept just by looking at their mv
SM always said that Aespa story telling will go beyond just their Music videos, and for the moment they didn't lie
Don't forget that the aes also appear in cf. Even when they guest in variety show and interview, they always talk and act like the aes, naevis, and black mamba are real. For example look at the MMTG one where they're chatting with the aes.
