Aespa, stylized as æspa, is a prominent South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment, one of South Korea's leading entertainment companies. The group made its debut on November 17, 2020, with the single "Black Mamba," which rapidly gained attention for its unique concept that integrates both virtual and real-world identities. Aespa consists of four members: Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning.

Their discography, including the engrossing tracks of "Drama" from their 4th mini-album and the captivating sounds of "MY WORLD" from their 3rd mini-album, showcases their range from upbeat pop anthems to more soulful and introspective pieces. Aespa has also ventured into remixes and unique versions of their songs, breathing new life into hits like "Better Things" with a series of remixes that appeal to a diverse set of music fans. Their involvement in the "Pokémon 2023 (Original TV Series Soundtrack, Korea)" attests to their broad appeal and versatility, as they continue to build their brand across different platforms and industries. Aespa's innovative approach to music and performance, including the seamless integration of virtual reality, marks them as a cutting-edge force in the world of K-pop.
