Will aespa be the first Global group of SM?

    I predict they can be as big as BP with the right push, promotions and demand.

    Approved the thread.

    If the Coachella performance goes well then Aespa would probably get a push in the western industry.


    If they go viral, then that will help them exponentially.

    Why are you setting aespa up saying they’ll be as big as bp


    Even rv does better in Spotify global tbh, I think aespa will be huge in east Asia though

    their music is too weird to appeal to western fans. Heck, Ive and itzy are doing much better than aespa on spotify and apple music

    No one can beat sm stans at being delusional. They are never touching blackpink or coming close to them , you are just not aware of the numbers bp pull since their debut in smaller market. Just hope they do well and that's it, don't set unrealistic goals for your own faves, bp are on a different league

    One thing I can agree with is that SM will move after the Coachella show and advance them as much as possible off the back of it. Which is what a record company should do.


    (Though if The Next Level goes viral in the US there could end up being a fuss about how blatantly parts of it plagiarize Let It Rock.)

    the experimental song is huge roadblock

    Lol nope. It looks like SM wants to do everything to conquer the western market EXCEPT make music that would appeal to your average westerner.


    BlackPink’s music can be enjoyed by people who are not already kpop fans. The same cannot be said of Aespa. So until SM fixes that, they’re throwing their money away on a project that will never take off.

    Omg you're the only person who thinks NL copied fucking let it rock stfu! You post this dumb ass opinion every week my god! If it was an issue then the OG singer has to reach out to Ashton Wyld not fucking Sm or aespa.

    They are their first gg to try on, they are definitely trying for this. maybe it will work maybe not, promotion can only do so much.


    Coachella is not the gate you all think it is.... they will not magically become popular in the west after the performance lmao

    If the release music regularly. There is a very high chance they will match BP or even surpass them.

    They have the looks, talents and vocals to back it up as well.

    even ive has better global stats than them but never say never. Honestly i think they should stop making the whole experimental lore music.

    Surely this is a set-up …

    They’re not even the group in sm or amongst 4th gen ggs with the most appeal for the western market. They’ll continue to grow in China and SEA, but elsewhere …

    in kwanya or whatever that cringy lore stuff is called maybe. In the real world no way, they haven't even surpassed the 7m ml, that is not even 1/4 of BP mls at their peak.

    #1 Psycho - 1.355M

    #2 Feel My Rhythm - 1.254M

    #3 Psycho - 1.244M

    #4 Psycho - 1.234M

    #5 Psycho - 1.219M

    #6 Feel My Rhythm - 1.202M

    #7 Psycho - 1.194M

    #8 Feel My Rhythm - 1.175M

    #9 Psycho - 1.174M

    #10 Feel My Rhythm - 1.156M🆕
