My Daily commented that after aespa released the title track “Supernova” before releasing their first full album “Armageddon”, listeners had mixed reactions. Besides praising the song’s freshness, there were still some who commented that “Supernova” was unpleasant to listen to.

However, “Supernova” still set a record as the fastest girl group song in 2024 to achieve a perfect all-kill (PAK) (in less than 12 days), showing the level of public interest in its catchy melody and lyrics.

According to Korean newspapers, when K-pop became mainstream in the global music market, it stood out for its uniqueness. However, as time went by, more and more K-pop songs followed a standard formula and at some point, the public began to comment that K-pop had become monotonous and boring.

So, at a time when the K-pop industry is focusing on producing “songs that never fail” and “easy-to-listen songs,” aespa’s efforts to steadfastly follow their own path are receiving recognition from the public.

According to Korean newspapers, Korean and foreign K-pop fans are giving much praise to aespa and SM Entertainment for their contributions to the diversity of K-pop.

aespa’s release of another title track “Armageddon” along with their first full album of the same name on May 27 is currently receiving much attention. It is revealed that this is a hip-hop dance song with an intense sound and a classic yet trendy feel.

Carrying the message “Only I can define myself”, the song is expected to bring a special atmosphere and new experiences to the audience through the unique music and impressive vocal tones of the members. This will continue to strengthen aespa’s position in the K-pop music industry.
