Foreveraespa11rank/position
aespa captivates K-pop listeners with their unique style.
Their “Forever” is a heartwarming winter ballad, a remake of Yoo Young-jin’s original song released in 2000.
Its medium-tempo, gentle mood feels soothing.
Arranged directly by Yoo Young-jin, the track shimmers with an even more radiant, luxurious sound, and aespa’s beautiful vocal work is truly enchanting.
The lyrics express the gently closing distance between two people, pure love for someone precious, and a warm look toward the future—perfect for the Christmas season.
While aespa often presents a strong, bold image, this kind of ballad suits them wonderfully too!
Sun snd Moonaespa12rank/position
This is a commercial that shows how various scenes featuring aespa become more and more fulfilling through McDonald’s Frappés.
From everyday moments to right before a live performance, it depicts how a McDonald’s Frappé is always by their side, even supporting the members’ smiles.
The distinctive visuals centered on the Frappé also give the impression of emphasizing a glamorous atmosphere and a sense of dynamism.
The gentle sound of “Sun and Moon” creates a curious floating sensation, which adds a comedic touch as well.
Girlsaespa13rank/position
The title track “Girls” from aespa’s second mini-album Girls, released in July 2022 by the Korean multinational four-member girl group aespa.
This song features quintessential aespa elements—sleek, futuristic sound effects and distinctive synthesizer phrases that are incredibly cool! Additionally, the structure of the pre-chorus (the B section) is particularly inventive: it inserts a punchy, rap-like highlight before flowing into the sung melody, then transitions naturally into the chorus.
The way the arrangement keeps listeners engaged feels exactly like one of aespa’s signature strengths!
Dirty Workaespa14rank/position
It’s a hip-hop tune with an irresistibly powerful hook that screams “This is aespa!” Released in June 2025, it showcases their signature hard-edged sound, often dubbed their “metallic flavor,” in full force.
The deliberately rough-hewn beats and deep bassline hit hard.
The lyrics stand out for their aggressive stance, declaring they’ll take on tough roles themselves.
A performance video shot on iPhone 16 Pro also became a hot topic.
It’s the kind of track that can boost your mood or give you strength before an important challenge.
