aespa 에스파 'ep1. Black Mamba' - SM Culture Universe REACTION

[@fxfx9170]

Tbh, I find this "drama" easy to understand. There is nothing confuse about this because I feel like they did a good job on explainging the concept and black mamba as well as ae. Also, there are scene like action movie, disarter movie. It's a next level

[@junmyeon4110]

KWANGYA is also shown in Kai's Mmmh (best scenes yet) and other artist who teased the group concept last year :)

[@rubyjaneluvbot]

Isn't it basically a place where all the sm artists lives?

[@kdome9107]

And Seulgi and Irene in their debut era! (Idk kf was at the end of monster or on Naughty)

[@bagel5056]

It’s also shown and explained in NCT Past and Future Ether video ^^

[@siamdaralai1563]

Also jeno mention to kwangya in his past in the song 90's love

[@CarlosSM2210]

@@rubyjaneluvbot According to theories, yes, KWANGYA is SM's universe, seems like the EXOverse was a tease and they are going to go full on with æspa to explain the lore and slowly add back the older groups.

[@morkswatermelonss]

you can see that the black mamba and naevis look almost the same so i highly believe that they are siblings/twins. one turned out evil one good (light and darkness concept) both created kwangya and split their ways (ending scene of naughty) - irene black mamba & Seulgi naevis (even their symbol I&S is written together) it also makes sense because naevis is the one who opens the door for sm artists to the kwangya not just ae (the ae didnt even know what kwangya is) so the black mamba also can open the door to it (last scene of black mamba ep1 - the black mamba enters through the opened door and blocks the synk)

[@isthaliadehyse1629]

Even the name naevis also has huge snake references : navis, nagas, naginis, etc... are snake creatures in lots mythology and fantasy universe (for example : nagini in Harry Potter) so yeah Naevis definately is a snake/blackmamba related character ^^

[@pebble8978]

Yesssss. And the the sound of Monster can be heard in the last/ending part of the video

[@urshi9440]

No one is doing it like SM tbh they are creating one of the best gg with such vocals, rap, visuals ,dancing ,talent . This vid really did make a lot of things clear by giving us a theory explanation kind of. I am liking this AE concept more now after this vid.

[@jamierjustinmoreno1015]

There are also theories that naevis and the black mamba are seulgi and Irene. Irene as the black mamba and Seulgi as naevis. Anyways idk what could be the next episode and who's the next artist

[@heykaybeee]

I really hope they are connected to this! - a reveluv ❤️

[@ELmayberry]

@@heykaybeee same 😁

[@ghqw5571]

But why i think black mamba is seulgi and irene is naevis , seulgi just give me a black mamba vibe

[@zhuoxuanist]

@@ghqw5571 i started to think like you too when i saw feel my rhythm's music video

[@applejabla7823]

SM plans this 15 years ago. From EXO World to NCT and to Aespa. Genius.

[@vivichen3107]

naevis is not a new member, it’s a character in their story, and personally I’ll say either it’s a hidden role that is actually someone else (among all Sm idols involved in this culture universe), or it is just a factitious character that is no one in reality, as with SM, they sometimes add/assign different roles and characters to each person, it’s like you can be a student in the school and a writer at home at the same time, member of another groups can actually be a role involved in another groups’ storyline but havin their own story in their own groups and storyline as well.

[@JisooTurtleRabbitt]

I spent my whole Saturday night invested in aespa and all they're terms and stuff, I'm blown away they've created a whole universe

[@oddinary6242]

Honestly sm is doing a great job with this!! I love such kind of concepts and I just love it 😍😍 also the members are quite good in acting!!!!

[@nyek1246]

If you're going to go over it maybe 2 more times, you'll realize how this ties up to EXO's concepts. Aespa World's villain is Black Mamba , while on EXO Planet its the Red Force. Also ties up with the 2 sides concepts, Obsession and ofcourse RV (i feel like they are the Naevis world). EXO The War era also had the comic story. I feel like they set the base with EXO, and also that's why their concept is very consistent in every comeback. They are shaping the SM Culture Universe all these years. I think that LSM have already have this idea way back and just waited for the tech savvy era to rise to implement his idea. Ps. Don't forget the Exo Pathcodes.

[@awtsgege8202]

I want SM to release a whole ass movie with this theme

[@sabrinas4355]

Correction aespa's intro was used since their debut announcement video (oct) and mnet kingdom was around dec, mnet copy off aespa first. If black mamba is a snake and Mnet is a snake then that means Mnet is Black Mamba?

[@louiseemborong5852]

This is the only driving force for me to stan aespa. They did it.

[@aespamydeul9009]

Many hates Lee Soo Man for his bad management but we can't deny the fact that he is the mind of all these SMCU Concept.

[@chaewonsglasses]

this really made me love the group even more, cause I'm a huge futuristic/scifi nerd???

[@hikaru1282]

"i'll be reacting to the level up mv" 15:02 😂 girl, imagine if you predict a future comeback of theirs being titled "level up"

[@pcbusby]

Next level :)

[@bhutterflies]

naevis is the ae that connects the ae with the aespa members so i don't rlly think that there will be a new member, besides in the showcase of next level karina confirmed that aespa is 8 (along with the ae's) so i guess ot4 forever

[@tay9054]

the way you explained in comparison with math and the concept is so well fitting, i agree 100%. i want to stan them so much and understand everything from back to front so i can’t wait for future content!

[@neowaffle]

1:20 by the way, mnet copied that sound to aespa :) 😄 æspa they used it first

[@cityhunter3560]

Yessss, aespa did it first at 2020 (before black mamba mv) and mnet snake at 2021

[@firmantimughni1110]

YASH. What youre saying in the end was literally what SM wants to delivered from this video. If you know In the video, there is a single credit given in the description: “powered by CAWMAN.” CAWMAN is an acronym that stands for C = Cartoon A = Animation W = Webtoon M = Motion Graphic A = Avatar N = Novel This is the media in which SM Entertainment plan to expand on the SM Culture Universe

[@kxzhan3673]

Heyyy I'm so excited and happy that u reacted to this

[@midnightmirror4518]

This is what separates aespa from the rest of kpop 🙌💜

[@Sarah-wf3xv]

thanks for reacting to this!! there's so much things related to other SM artists! it's so cool

[@axelalex5707]

Girl i think you would've been more confuse if you watch the mv, not only the concept but the song too

[@tudorkpop]

Tell me if the last scene, the Kwangya biome, doesn’t look like Kai’s set in Mmmh?

[@pinkblooded7627]

Yes it is! Even the 1st scene in next level also resemble kais world in mmmh

[@marielleapale714]

I just see this that they say "kai" mean "eye" and the place where Kai standing top of the building that was the KWANGYA. Which they say kai is the only one person in the KWANGYA. And they say the last comeback of Girls Generation they are going somewhere in the outer space and they didn't comeback, and they say that place is KWANGYA.

[@CarlosSM2210]

Supposedly, according to the theories, KWANGYA is a whole universe where SM artists will exists, they are starting to connect them, so that's why there will be a lot of similarities between different artists MV's from now on.

[@baebae_fly8693]

I really like how you set the album in you're space. I just "wow"

[@grahitanana2368]

naevis is the operator between KWANGYA and FLAT (in my opinion) but you can understand the character by this way

my impression when see professor change to black mamba…”is that black mamba”🤣🤣🤣…….

[@RandomGuy-xq2nt]

Im sure that there would be a point where the Æ will dominate/ overshadowed the real members but in a good way... like it would be a part of the whole concept and storyline of Aespa universe and SM culture universe

There are theories said that the black mamba is irene or seulgi? Because in their mv 'naughty'. I am not sure tho.

[@nyek1246]

Could be as well, because they warped to the a new world, which was pointed out in the beginning of the MV and in this video. Also kinda ties up with the 2 sides concept of RV.
