Those “nobodies” are doing way better than aespa with their debut single BM:giraffe:

BM was a digital single yet it still it had a MUCH better debut on the charts and a higher peak too :rip:

They've made some appearances this year which put into question the validity of this trait.  Or maybe they were in the shop getting rotated like tires or something.

Better Debut? GAG is doing better than BM in some digital charts

 

BM peaked at 70 something in Melon and GAG is still reaching new peaks :coffee2:

 

also GAG sold more than 1M sales and that’s just a debut single album :coffee2:

 

aespa is really not consistent in the charts with their releases at all and that’s what stopping them to reach the level of NJ or IVE overall :giraffe:

 

at least they are doing better than the groups who debuted around their year but is quite tiring they have all the weapons to reach the top and SM literally does completely the opposite 

 

they need more Thirsty’s and less noise being noise.  Spicy is the perfect equilibrium between catchy and good noise 

 

And what they desperately need is a new choreographer because only Black Mamba is good 

 

The choreo of GAG is perfect in every way and I hope SM starts doing the same with aespa also that’s one of the main reasons hype boy got so huge :giraffe:

 

 

 

The short abbreviation for Get a Guitar being GAG makes Riize automatically win I fear

Aespa is doing just fine. They do not need success stans who seems to only care if they have 1B digital points on Circle or they make less noise music plus who tf cares if they aren't on NJ or IVE level? weren't KTRL wrote them off a long time ago? leave them alone.

 

 

Aespa is Hyperpop and the people who realize that sooner, the better

They literally have their new Thirsty for the new mini since they started their tour with “Don’t Blink” which I bet will be another bside and will have the same future as thirsty :coffee2:

 

don’t dare to call me success Stan when I have my flops of CSR and Weeekly right there and I don’t listen to AKMU, IU to name a few :ducky:

Is it cold in paris today? cause that would make a lot of sense. 

 

Cause they had no problem with her serving mother just 3 days ago.

aespa is physically outselling all your non-blackpink faves so the success stan argument falls flat

 

we just want quality music and an envelope-pushing approach to kpop as expected from a flagship girl group of a top 4 company

 

if they served visuals/sounds like this as their concept originally intended at least its something worth stanning but they played it too safe with the study background music as previously mentioned :chick1:

Just checked and nope I don't think sm was involved in this, by the way they stayed quiet and just posted a picture where she you only saw her side I wouldn't be surprised if Acne just slid into her DMs or something. She looked a little uncomfortable in the outfit so I wonder who chose it.

Either Way doing exactly 239 streams more than Welcome to MY World, I'm dead :deadbanana2:

 

 

 

and this is supposed to be a drag…? :rip:

they literally posted the teasers two days before, most people in this thread weren’t even aware of the release :rip:

Oh this is decent!

These are just Japanese sales, so I wonder how many global sales they'll get, since they're more of a global group

Thirsty isn't Aespa.  It's simply just a song that showcases that they have the range to pull off different genres but that's not their brand. If SM wants for Aespa to succeed, they need to go all out with their sound and concept aespa cause even your faves NJ are doing exactly what could have been Aespa are doing. 

 

 

If you still don't get it, you can go back listening to Cookie and Eleven cause you seems to like more inoffensive safer music  :cm:

UPDATE:

 

18k preorders already, I think they actually have a shot to sell 60-75k overall

Pretty great for a first mini :clap3:

Thirsty is just another trap and synth-inspired song and could've been sung by any of the SM groups. Not very unique at all
