Over one week of promotion, summer album confirmed?

Abs leave aespa alone

I think aespa will start touring or fanmeeting touring the moment concerts and big attendances are allowed, probably around winter in many countries

They're not fooling a single soul into thinking that's winters natural hair and they've already had clips of her in the MV with short hair, so what's their problem? Winters extensions are literally a whole new member, that's how separated it is

They are okay with winter having short hair for content videos but somehow it's a big no when she has to perform. The bob haircut makes her look cute and next level concept is fierce but they could give her other hairstyles for her short hair

I don't get their obsession of making Winter have long hair. Like she still slay with short hair, in fact i think short hair (without bangs) makes her look more badass

I wish winter could say something to her hairdresser like "I prefer short hair" or something even if it's a lie

How can't they notice it doesn't look good?

I can't wait until they can experience to perform in front of peopleb They were lucky to debut by the end of the year but there are other groups that will be without performing in front of public for almost 2 years

People are always extra harsh on our girls for no reason

Anyway, I would love to see them following RV route or Twice route when it comes to choreography, in the former's case most of their choreos are easy but catchy with occasionally incorporating intense ones (dumb dumb, zimzalabim, rookie, really bad boy) or in the later's case starting with easy choreos and then slowing trying for hard and intense choreos (dance the night away era onwards).

I'm fine with whatever they go for, I like easy but catchy choreos and complicated ones If sm doesn't change much their concept, which wouldn't be surprising, I think they are going more for swag/cool performances so far. Aespa has a lot of potential so i'm expecting nothing less than them improving over time.

I agree with you, they're nowhere near bad performers like people describe them to be, if anything the song Next Level itself doesn't require immense energy but the girls seem confident now, more compared to Black Mamba era and once they start promoting on music shows it will just get better.

Though I still wish during that beat drop part, they gave us an actual dance break but that's okay, we'll get ample opportunities in the future to see aespa showcase their dancing abilities.

Yes, people are being harsh on them when they haven't started music shows yet and there are only a few performances out, none of them a focused fancam.

Knowing SM, I think they will follow RV pattern with them, easy choreos more than complicated ones, which is fine for me but kpop fans are used to very hard choreos now and I don't think aespa will focus on that.

btw guys i see some people (on reddit lol ) say that Aespa stage presence is terrible for Next Level. What do you guys think?

For me personally they're great in the Choreography Confimation Video, they seem confident and expressive there. So far the two performance stages + Studio Choom kinda lacking in energy and expression i think, but imo they're nowhere near bad performers. It can't be helped too that the choreo is low energy. Hopefully they continue to improve now that they will start mushow promotion

Wow i'm writing an essay here

Reddit doesn't never have a good word for aespa so... Aespa stage presence is fine as a 6 months rookie, not amazing but it's not also bad either, it's pretty much like the most of kpop groups, average. There are only a few groups between all gens who have good stage presence one of them being MMM in the past before they start including more choreo and the rest of kpop groups have average stage presence, carried out for hard choreos more than anything. I'm talking about groups as whole not individual idols.

Quote from evo-evolution

I was more disappointed overall, because they said the choreograph would be more intense than black mamba, but they also didn't say if they meant for this or the album release. We all thought this would be the album release and now we know that's coming soon, maybe they saved the harder dance choreo for the albums title track

I remember them saying black mamba was tougher than this one

Is it just me or are they getting better performing next level? Aespa is ready to shut up a few people when they start music shows

Quote from Artemosia

Any aespa clip from any source gets like 100-200k from Korean YouTube, they're whipped for sure

The day they blow up in korea and they're starting, they're gonna be everywhere. Not to be biased but they're a charming group

Aespa genie cover is already trending on youtube. It's crazy how almost everything they do to end up trending in korea

Never lose hope, didn't black mamba get its first win after two months or something like that?

I was expecting to know if there will be new members or not with this comeback before I knew next level would be a single. I've warmed up to aespa as OT4 100% with next level and now I feel lazy with the thought of new members

Quote from SooYoung

i think Aespa songs can surpass Heize song

I'm waiting for next week when aespa stronger promotion starts, variety shows + music shows and see how the song does

It seems still surreal to me that aespa is top 7 on melon

Next level surpassed "we ride", it wasn't because of new heize song they would be #6 right now so nobody can say it's an empty house

Quote from evo-evolution

I love her bob hair I really wanna see a messy bob style, maybe with highlights in-between they just need to leave these extensions at home

Yes, we agree about her extensions

Quote from evo-evolution

Honestly, one shade bob is enough, these hair extensions are so bad, I think in this performance they weren't too bad, but overall theres been more bad days than good, the ratio makes me sad

She looks so good with this short hair on this video. I'm not a fan of her actual bob hair

They also need to get rid of those winter hair extensions
