SM really won with Ningning. All of the girls are fantastic, but Ningning has this presence on stage and in MV's that is unbeatable! She is allergic to not serving.

[@samkim4249]

shes my bias for a reason what a queen !

[@danissegomez7953]

Imagine her singing Armageddon live😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 when she already devouring singing supernova live lately❤❤. We will see the real idol performer singer Ningning if you make her sing live🔥

[@jna9841]

SM never let go of Ningning for being an SMRookie for 5 (or 6? or more) years, and I don't blame them. They made us wait for her debut, and it pays off!

[@kenken-tk5nr]

Idk wtf happened during Drama era but I'm glad it happened (whatever that is) because something has shifted and aespa has been slaying and eating ever since. The stage presence are improving as well.

[@Koko3op]

RIGHT?! I wonder if Karina and Winter being in GOT helped

[@ScarletxCrimson]

@@Koko3opi think it might have also been the impact of their first world tour - i saw them and was like WINTER??? she beat every stage presence allegation into the ground lol. they had mentioned later that debuting during COVID was confusing and difficult to know if they were doing things right.

[@danissegomez7953]

for me, what makes me stick around SM is their idols and their true family bond to each other fron 1st gen to 5th gen now and I bet it eill continue in the future❤ not just aespa, but I love all SM idols, and all SM idols are united in hating SM😂 like honestly they should change the head of SM😂😂😂 they better thankful for their idols, the management may be crappy but not the artists and their genuine bond❤ SM fam❤

The “Armageddon” video was done by Rigend Film, whose credits include XG’s “Shooting Star.”

[@nnnicole10]

I can't believe how incredible everything aligned for Armageddon - the song is fire, the mv is insane, the choreo is sick, the styling of EVERY look is on point, the confidence and attitude of the girls is PERFECT!!

[@mimiokoi]

Sometimes it feels like SM doesn't care about the west because they try out one English single and go back to their unique sound. Like "Here, have one English pop song. Like it? Good...turn on the real shit" *plays aespa tts* 😂

[@sanuhh.]

and I LOVE them for that

[@mimiokoi]

@@sanuhh. Fr...they keep it authentic

[@louisenobrega6183]

I think SM focus only in Korean public, the rest is bonus. BTS's yearly production (in terms of concept, themes) was almost identical as EXO's (I think it was the same group working for both), yet BTS had a international career focus, thus their success around the globe (in terms of fame and $$$), even tho SM artists having stronger vocal skills, better producers and being more musically creative. Old bighit is richer than SM now. SM had multiple groups, and BTS was the only one at that time! Unfortunately, SM artists have to work with modeling etc and don't develop as music artists, other than performance and vocal skills. (no composing, writing, producing). See F(x) situation... I'm afraid RV is next ;-;

[@raquel196]

Honestly put every group to do a tour because that CHANGES them. Also, after everything that happened in "Girls" era they got SO MUCH BETTER, the Dua Lipa treatment worked for them. I loved everything about this comeback, it really seems like SM gave a shit about the visuals, production (like their album package????), everything is cohesive. I love these girls and I'm thrilled for all the success and praise they're getting right now.

[@danissegomez7953]

Armageddon i bet will top supernova in a few days, they just need to introduce it to the public first ad make live stages .

[@sandcarad]

I've been an aespa fan since day 1 but I feel like they've really grown into their concept and found their colors the last few comebacks. This feels like such a statement and their confidence is honestly what sells the song/concept because who tf else can pull this off if not aespa also the MV was done by RIGEND FILM, the same team that did XG's shooting star (another MV I absolutely loved)

[@edamammy7]

I’ve NEVER had this happen in my 5 years of following K-pop-my first watch through this MV, my jaw was genuinely on the FLOOR. Speechless with how excellent and amazing this was, experimental without being randomly and pointlessly dissonant, harmonious and melodic while still being so interesting and thematically/visually unprecedented. The best K-pop comeback I have seen in 5 years, PERIOD.

[@montyatz]

TOP 👏🏾 MF 👏🏾 TIER 👏🏾 who is doing it like them??? HPW TF DO YOU OUTDO DRAMA???!!?! I’ve only had 3 ults in my life (exo, atz, bp) but Aespa is on that list now

[@danissegomez7953]

There is areason why even the members Karina, Winter, Giselle says Ningning is THAT all rounder🔥 and thats she is just born to be a celeb and on stage and said they can't imagine Ningning doing another kind if profession other than being a celeb or singer... her level of charisma is off the roof!!!!! Ningning's presence and attitude onstage is not something you can easily practice but its innate in her, a born performer🔥

They are literally incapable of serving anything less than perfection. I’ve been a fan since Black Mamba, and their growth is insane. SM really has the best music and artists tbh

[@justauser7255]

SM never catered to the American market. Even though they tried entering it and failed because they simply didn't give up their sound. If they went mainstream they would've succeeded like the others but they're true to their roots and want to succeed using their origins. Which is not for everyone. There are people who don't like it and think it's messy but it's completely unique and screams SM whenever you hear it. And those who tried experimenting failed miserably because they kept getting compared to SM, that are a master in their field. All in all, my love for SM artists and artistry never ended and will never end.

[@CocoLemoN0891]

This is fckin FACT! As an OG group stan of SM since 2007 this is so TRUE! 😭

Also if I'm not wrong, production centre 1 manages aespa along with BoA & SNSD. I don't like to praise SM for their management but aespa's centre has been killing it ever since Spicy era.

I am sooo in love with the visual of the music videos I would kiss the ones who made it and the album itself is what I have been looking in kpop for a whileee!

MINE is song of the century for me!! Also omg? I'm having the same reaction to Armageddon as Supernova. I liked the song but wasn't obsessed with it, but FOUR hours later it's just STUCK in my head and I can't get it off!! Set The Tone is my second fave. BAHAMA is growing on me so fast. Live My Life (this one especially) is surprisingly on my top 5. Top 3 b-side. My b-side ranking: 1) Mine 2) Set The Tone 3) Live My Life 4) BAHAMA 5) Prologue 6) Licorice 7) Long Chat 8) Melody

What you said about how this is how you do the dual title tracks rollout is so true. Supernova and Armageddon where the perfect pair. They’re different, especially visually, but also so cohesive, not just with each other, but with Aespa’s whole discography.
