aespa is a four-member K-pop girl group conceived by SM Entertainment. They debuted in November 2020 with digital single ‘Black Mamba’. Also stylised as æspa, the quartet consists of Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ning Ning.

The group’s name is a combination of “æ”, which means ‘Avatar X Experience’, and “aspect”, which means double-sided. When combined, their name stands for experiencing a new world through an avatar of yourself.

aespa’s most recent music release is their fourth mini album, Drama, in November 2023, which contained the title track single. SM Entertainment has also revealed that aespa will be releasing an English full-length album and their first South Korean full-length album in 2024. They are known for hit songs like ‘Next Level’, ‘Spicy’, ‘Better Things’, and ‘Savage’.

The group also notably performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2022 as part of 88rising’s Head in the Clouds Forever showcase. This feat made them the third K-pop girl group to perform at the music festival, after 2NE1 and BLACKPINK.
