Aside from the technology and stuff, what ae-karina said in the mirror got me goosebumps, the words like "I'm the perfect version of you, you always show perfection in social media. You'll change as time passes, but me, I will be perfect (forever)". The issue of toxic social media is the main idea of this story, it's amazing!!!!!

the conversation between ae-Karina and Karina is really touching. Not only for these K-pop idols, but we also struggle to be the best of ourselves. Then the difference between perfection and setbacks reminds us we are not the best and make us doubt ourselves. We will be caught and even give up. This video told us setbacks cannot pull us back and we always have to break perfection.

[@parallels1792]

Their metaverse concept is what also makes aespa standout aside from their top tier songs and well-rounded talents. This is the first kpop group I encountered that's dedicated to a storyline and gives a cinematic experience. Kpop stans should realize that aespa is not the typical kpop group who just sing and dance. They are BEYOND that now. Don't let the Black Mambas on the internet fool you and push you away in stanning aespa. Let's all synk dive and enjoy the train ride to Kwangya!

[@katara1641]

aespa has the BEST storyline I've ever seen! I love how it delves into KWANGYA, the online world, and how we only show the beautiful side of us, which can create a complex where the perfect version of ourselves makes our REAL self insecure. Black Mamba who represents the negativity and unhealthy obsession of chronically online people, only aggravate that insecurity making us not even want to share happy moments out of fear that they will be exploited. I wish people understood how deep this concept is. The amount of potential storylines and content they can create with this type of concept is endless. The script was perfectly written, and the quality of the CGI/comic was amazing! I love the fact that you can tell SM actually put effort and time into making a high quality video. The girls were in their bag with their acting! They really embodied their roles with an OSCAR worthy performance! I would love to see them produce a short movie compiling all the parts of the story together. I hope SM releases a Box set that has a comic version of this, as well as a DVD. They need to have a video game as well as toys etc. I know some people aren't fans of KWANGYA but I LOVE it, and I think that their true fans do too. I like that they occasionally get the chance to do videos outside of this concept like Life's Too Short, but I really hope they stick with this concept for their albums and title tracks. SM and aespa are really on the Next Level!

[@anrvdlbkpopies1031]

Sm litterally said this is aespa's concept. Either take it or leave it. They are really investing in this group and it shows. I like the part where they address cyber bullying at 10:00 to 13:10. Their concept is not just cool but also meaningful and educational. This reminds me of black mirror. The dark side of being addicted to gadgets and the online world .

[@daphne9846]

For real! Unfortunately being an idol makes them more vulnerable to hate and bullying esp online. And the expectation to be "perfect". As SM tries to address and give awareness about these to the public, I hope they start it by giving fair treatment to the girls, and all of their artists!

[@ipurplebts7275]

I feel like most people are focusing so much on how cool everything looks and the while ai concept but when you really pay attention to these episodes especially this one it really shows what being a kpop idol is really like. The scene in this where Winter hears rumors about her. The scene where Giselle is being bombarded with flashing lights and cameras. NingNing seeing hate messages. Karina wanting to be perfect so feels like she can only show her triats that make her seem perfect. It really has many meanings. Other than it being their story line and concept they also showed the harsh reality of being a kpop idol.

Wherever the era, SM is always ranked 1 in the collection of legends. everyone in this company is a collection of geniuses. SM has always been a trendsetter in terms of music.. The quality of SM artists is unquestionable, they are very qualified in every way. I really respect SM as an art lover. SM's contribution in art is a few steps ahead of other agencies. , when other agencies only present beauty, SM shows not only beauty but also quality, uniqueness and color. SM dares to be different with high and strong self-confidence. They are always the first to break the trend in Korean music, art is not only about beauty but also color, quality and something called self-respect. When art has self-respect, the color never fades.. SM music always has its own spirit. . Thank you very much Mr. Lee Soman, you are the coolest and the coolest of all agency founders in Korea.. and Thank you also to the staff and idols who have worked hard, you guyss are chunks of diamond coated with titanium .. bravo

I think aespa's concept may seem surreal, but it's actually about bullying on social media and obsession with looking perfect. all of these things are such a deep message. If you notice, in some scenes, for example, in the animation scene of Karina, we see images of Karina actually crying while laughing, with words like "Karina is mature, Karina is successful". it emphasizes that these people live with the "obsession of being perfect" because of others, so they create a virtual reality on the internet and show themselves as perfect on the internet.

Some point I really like was the Karina vs Ae-Karina's conversation about Ae-Karina being Karina's perfect version. And that one comment on Karina's part, "I thought you are everyone's Karina" Idols has to look their 100% best all the time. And that they don't have personal space.

I love how aespa's lore talks about timely issues on soc med and how it affects the mental state of every individual who is using it. And the way they chunks it into different aspects whereas Winter's scene is about the netizen who badmouths and spreading malicious stuff with no grounds. Ningning's about how simple comments and negative reactions could stab and hurt someone. Giselle shows the bad side of being in the spotlight because they are invading her privacy and putting pressure on her to be someone she doesn't want to be. And lastly Karina, we can see her dilemmas within herself. She's battling her insecurities and flaws because she's afraid that people will not accept her true self. I really love that this is so pleasing to watch for it's cinematography, animations, and visuals. But it also tells a story and teach us all a lesson. Their concept and lore have lots of potential and quality to be BIG more in the future. Till then, aesfighting!

I really hope that the netizens in general are able to appreciate the great artistic work that is in these 17 minutes of video that are short with the great quality that is in them. The use of 3D and 2D graphics added to CGI and the innate talent of the æspa girls make this a masterful audiovisual work of art. SM is making this group an innovative revolution in the industry and the amount of emotions that are transmitted to the viewer are proof of this. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a movie-quality clip like this one, which undoubtedly takes what was seen in the first part to another level.

This concept is absolutely great! The black mamba is like a metaphor of your insecurities/self-hatred using your æ (alter ego or digital presence) and comparing it to how different the two are and using it to point how imperfect you are. Nævis is trying to connect æ with the person’s real self. In my perspective i think its a metaphor for showing your true self upon the internet and being comfortable with who you are. Btw everyone, dont compare yourselves to an ig post, or a tik tok. You’re amazing just the way you are.

[@neocitizen5844]

[@cuckoophendula8211]

Now that you mention it (as I find this 7+ months later), it's interesting how these concepts likely parallel at least a few models in psychology, which in turn approximates overall themes of the human condition. The ae's in this case represent each individual's online _persona_, which functions like a mask to how we'd want the world to perceive us. So far, the black mamba seems to represent the individual's _shadow_, which house our unconscious qualities that we don't like to admit to ourselves (a snake also tends to be a symbol that coincides with each of our tendencies to fall into temptation, sin, and that uncomfortable thought that we may not be the heroes of our own story). Given that there's only been two episodes so far, I of course don't know which way they'd really take things, but if they're trying to have the themes truly go hand in hand with something like Jungian psychology, it's likely that there'd be a phase where each character would have to accept the insecurities within themselves and learn to own it instead of relentlessly fighting against it (aka the encouraging words you said about how we're amazing just the way we are, we have to accept that we're not the perfect projection of our online persona and that being subservient to its whims can actually make our insecurities and shadow even worse). So paradoxically, there'd hypothetically be a point when we'd figure out that part of dealing with the big black scary snake would be to admit that there's a bit of the big black scary snake within each of us. Part of personal growth is not to deny our imperfections, but to accept that they're there while we'd try our best to be the best versions of ourselves. Meanwhile, the alternative tragic path is if we'd never perceive our flaws, which actually makes the big black scary snake take over us until we hopefully hit some rock bottom. If I'm not mistaken, what I just mentioned kind of parallels "the hero's journey," and if nothing else, these themes are played out repeatedly in lots of media whether it be books (i.e. Heart of Darkness), movies (i.e. Black Swan), and games (i.e. Persona 4).

It’ll probably be called Savage going in order of Title songs and the fact according to the song Naevis sacrifices herself too (it’s said in the bridge of Savage, so it’s not a spoiler) - and Black Mamba isn’t totally dead (confirmed by the members)

In short, CAWMAN is an integrated multimedia plan for the , a new project which brings together all SM Entertainment artists under a single worldview and storyline. As such, this could be a great future source of content for fans. Founder Lee Soo Man announced the back in October 2020, and the artists who’ve been incorporated into the concept so far include Red Velvet - Irene and Seulgi, EXO, NCT, Super M, and BoA. CAWMAN is an acronym created as follows: C is for “Cartoon” A is for “Animation” W is for “Webtoon” M is for “Motion graphics” A is for “Avatar” N is for “Novel” SM is the blueprint of kpop since 1st gen sm ate up all yalls favs companies

Bagi yg belum ngerti ada urutan yg harus ditonton dan dibaca lirik lagunya atau dialog percakapannya karna seluruh MV tittle track aespa (Black Mamba, Next Level, Savage) beserta liriknya & plot cerita SMCU itu satu keseluruhan cerita yang bersambung: 1. MV Black Mamba (lagu ini ttg kemunculan villain "Black Mamba" yg menyebarkan virus meng-hack data2 para ae sehingga membuat kekacauan di dunia nyata dan di dunia metaverse (FLAT; tempat tinggal para ae/Avatar) 2. SMCU ep. 1 Penjelasan ttg: A. Apa itu ae B. Bagaimana ae terbentuk C. Power Ability tiap members D. Black Mamba meng-hack data2 para ae sehingga terjadi "synk out" {putusnya komunikasi antara para ae dengan para real human nya} *Di cerita SMCU ini semua manusia punya ae, bukan cuma members aespa aja yg punya ae, tp ae nya members aespa dan members aespa lah yg jadi pemeran utamanya di cerita SMCU. 3. MV Next Level (lagu ini ttg para ae nya members aespa yg akan pergi ke dimensi lain "Kwangya" (suatu dimensi lain tempat tinggal si Black Mamba) untuk menyelesaikan masalah synk out tsb. Para ae aespa ini bisa pergi ke kwangya dg bantuan Naevis (seorang ae juga tugasnya sebagai penunjuk jalan dan juga punya ability membuka portal ke dimensi2 lain) *Para real human termasuk members aespa tinggal di dimensi "Real World" *Para ae tinggal di dimensi "FLAT" *Black Mamba tinggal di dimensi "Kwangya" 4. MV Savage (lagu ini ttg para members aespa yg akan ikut bergabung para ae mereka pergi ke Kwangya juga dan ikut melawan si Black Mamba, tp sayangnya si Black Mamba ternyata tdk semudah itu bisa dikalahkan, para ae dan members aespa dalam bahaya (akan di makan/dikuasai oleh si Black Mamba) sampai pada akhirnya Naevis mengerahkan seluruh energi kekuatannya dan energi kehidupannya buat bantuin mereka keluar dari pengaruh belenggu sihir nya si Black Mamba dan mengeluarkan mereka dari dimensi Kwangya kembali ke real world melalui Portal besar yg dibuat Navies dg menggunakan seluruh kekuatan & energinya {di MV Savage ada portal yg sangat besar, mungkin ini yg menyebabkan Naevis meninggal}, si Black Mamba tsb akhirnya musnah, tetapi Naevis tidak selamat/meninggal karna kehabisan energi nya😭 5. Audio Bside aenergy (lagu ini ttg power ability tiap members, Karina tangan Thanos, Winter ahli segala senjata, Giselle ahli menguasai berbagai bahasa asing dan mampu mengendalikan cahaya, Ningning seorang hacker) 6. Audio Bside Illusion (lagu ini ttg POV si Black Mamba yg sengaja mancing supaya para ae dan members aespa datang ke kwangya dan akan dijadikan mangsanya yg lezat) 7. SMCU ep. 2 Penjelasan ttg: A. Openingnya ttg lanjutan fenomena synk out dari SMCU ep.1, dunia jadi kacau, B. Members aespa pengen ikut ke kwangya tp logika nya real human itu ga bisa teleport ke dimensi lain karna raga real human ga bakal sangup, jadi harus "synk dive" {arwah member aespa masuk ke raga ae nya, tp baik arwah member aespa ataupun arwah ae nya sendiri sama2 sadar walaupun raga nya cuma 1 dalam kata lain 2 arwah yg sadar dlm 1 jiwa {beda case ya ama kerasukan, kalo kerasukan itu 1 arwah mengendalikan arwah satunya sehingga si arwah satunya ga sadar}, sedangkan raga asli members aespa di real world sedang tertidur, dan perwujudan bentuk raga setelah synk dive adalah menjadi versi 3D nya dari wujud real human nya. C. Naevis membukan portal buat mereka ke kwangya dan memberikan ultimatum aturan kwangya ; jangan menginginkan suatu apapun di kwangya & jangan menoleh ke belakang, Naevis ga ikut cz ga bisa ninggalin FLAT jadi dia utus kupu2 sebagai penunjuk jalan. D. Mereka masuk kereta Black Mamba {mereka disini blm tau kalo ternyata nama villain nya adalah si Black Mamba jadi mereka naik naik aja dikira Black Mamba itu nama kota tujuan😅malah mereka enjoy2 aja liat pemandangan🤪} tp kemudian Winter melanggar aturan kwangya {megang kelopak bunga yg mekar} sehingga mereka terkena sihir halusinasi yg menyerang kelemahan mereka supaya melemahkan mental mereka, Karina diserang insecure, Winter diserang rumor2 jahat, Giselle diserang privasinya, Ningning diserang cyber bullying😭 {ini relate bgd ama mereka yg selalu di hate para haters😭} E. Si Black Mamba yg menyamar jadi ae Karina memprovokasi real Karina buat hapus semua data ae di muka bumi, tujuannya si Black Mamba yaitu ketika Karina hapus data para ae si Black Mamba akan ambil alih menciptakan ulang dan mengendalikan para ae dan juga mengendalikan semua manusia di bumi. {Dia ini jelmaan Black Mamba ya, bukan ae Karina yg di rasuki Black Mamba, soalnya ae Karina nya lagi synk dive ama real Karina, makanya real Karina nanya : siapa kamu?} F. Untungnya ada kupu2 yg nunjukin kaki kalo si ae Karina ini ternyata palsu alias jelmaan si Black Mamba, akhirnya Karina tersadar dari pengaruh sihir Halusinasi dan mecahin belenggu sihir itu (dg memukul penjara kaca) G. Tepat sebelum kereta BM memakan mereka {kereta ini ternyata hanya kamuflase ya aslinya ini adalah badan uler si Black Mamba} para members aespa untungnya akhirnya tersadar dari pengaruh sihir dan bertemu dgn wujud asli si BM di kereta. Next SMCU ep.3 sepertinya ttg pertarungan para members aespa vs Black Mamba, tp mereka hampir kalah dan dlm bahaya, Naevis sangat cemas kemudian bantuin mereka ngalahin si Black Mamba dan ngeluarin mereka dari dimensi Kwangya, si Black Mamba musnah sedangkan members aespa berhasil selamat, tp sayangnya Naevis meninggal😭Tamat. Season 2 nya (dimulai dari MV Girls) sudah beda cerita, beda villain, beda hero ya kemungkinan ada guide lain selain Naevis..

[@myzenforever2706]

Kemungkinan lain ttg kematian Naevis di ep.3 : mungkin karna Naevis ninggalin FLAT dan nyusul ke Kwangya buat nolongin mereka, karna Naevis punya aturan sendiri kalo dia ga boleh ninggalin FLAT.

Ok but the metaphor here is amazing, not only it appplies to aespa but also idols in general👏 Karina: being perfect. Idols are depicted as "perfect", people always expect them to be flawless. It's honestly distressing to keep that image and hide your less than perfect self. Giselle: faceshaming, always live in the limelight, don't have privacy. Giselle has always been bashed for her appearance, some peole even have the audacity to call kawinning the bermuda visual of aespa even though aespa has 4 members 🙄 Winter: false rumors. Antis just desperately waiting for a chance to bash her but she gave them none so antis have to make up misleading information. I remember seeing a lot of people heavily bashing her, calling her abusive towards animals but when I saw the video it was just her meowing at a cat in baby voice 🤡 Ningning: cyber abuse. Idols from big3, especially idols from sm are always being bashed for being a "failure", "not up to expectation" during their first years.

[@eulalia3468]

Ningning gets the worst hate among them that's why the emojis turned into knives cuz the comments are extremely hateful towards her, also the fact that she was loved in the beginning (emojis of love) and suddenly everyone turned their backs on her after her stupid controversy (the change of emojis) and later extreme hateful comments like knives

[@eulalia3468]

@Whimsical🌨 mainly for being Chinese that's what brought the hate to her appearance in the first place, she was slightly overweight for an idol (even though there's a nmixx member that's slightly overweight more than Ningning herself yet she didn't recieve any hate like Ningning did mainly because she's Korean) after losing weight koreans did describe her as the prettiest member of the group even next to winter which is the official visual of aespa, koreans said that Ningning was prettier yet they won't love her the same because she's Chinese, and then her controversy which she was basically framed and many koreans know that she was framed yet they chose to hate on her even more, so the main hate comes from xenophobia not her appearance because she's considered pretty, in the latest list of foreigner visuals Ningning was mentioned, cuz really no matter how much you try to hate on her appearance you can't cuz she's very beautiful

[@KarinabiasedMy]

@@eulalia3468 I don't want to be that person but even nmixx member were called they have no star quality.. like twice or itzy.. just because of their appearance.. and their are many korean idols bashed for their weight ..u can see even among senior korean idol .

Aespa is the only group (regardless male or female groups) that amaze me with their concept and grand universe! 😍🙀 From the beginning, you can already imagine “growing into our better selves with them” - normally, this happens after following a group for a long time, and then looking back in time, realizing you’ve come so far - in contrast, Aespa’s story has already been foreshadowing this feeling ever since their debut which wasn’t even that long ago

Same n agree

Uhhh… you’ve been in kpop for a decade and aespa is your “wow” card with concept? EXO anyone? 😂

[@melodies_memoryofexy1006]

@@user-fc5sq1jy5m yea exo one of my fav back then too. But everything in this world or kpop world advance, upgraded ,n added more contents,ideas in~ the feeling,the vibe ,everything is different. Just like before i be amazed with SNSD's star factor ,most 2nd gen or golden era grps have that that makes me wow. N exo comes with their power n strong vocal etc. And then theres NCT, SuperM... But the world just keep improve/advance. N we get to see aespa's concept.

[@grakamoli]

They're not creating a new wave of KPOP. They're creating a whole new world of KPOP. And this is only possible *because* aespa is a product of SM. The creativity of SM never fails to boggle me.

[@Rvbyx]

SM has a lot of focus and creative indulgments on Aespa, I've never seen a kpop group having as insane focus as Aespa

Episode ini bener bener ngejelasin banyak hal yang ada di lirik lagu Next Level ama Savage. mulai dari hallunacination quest, synk dive, flat, kwangya, dan real world. sumpah yaa kok bisa kepikiran konsep seEPIC dan seKEREN ini sihhhh?!

[@n_creat2193]

Ngekonsepnya bertahun tahun ka, pake teori yang bikin dunia sendiri jadi dari awal sampe akhir udh direncanain. Ga asal, semua detail dipikirin, ini kalo yg suka bilang SM diem² aja ga ngurusin artis²nya salah si menurut saia karna SM diem-diem *Duarrr

At first people thought their concept was weird and didn't like how the girls played along in interviews and stuff, and disliked all the terms in the songs. But SM knew what they were doing, taking it even farther and giving them actual story content to expand the world, makes all the other stuff 20x cooler!! In love with this, most unique gg in kpop.

[@m.syauqiabdurahman2798]

Ngl personally SM probably is the most unique kpop company so far

[@imjopping]

Over the years, I've learned to trust SM because this *always* happens. H.O.T became the formula for kpop groups, SHINee being fashion trendsetters, EXO's everything changed the industry, and more recently BeyondLive, AR pcs and shirts, super groups, Lysn, and everything we see here. If it seems weird at first, it's breaking new ground, and soon other will follow. Evolution in an industry never happens by not doing new crazy things.

[@nass6568]

@@imjopping YES, THIS I so agree! You gotta take risks and try ideas, and SM is a big enough company they can afford to do it, not every company can take those chances with new groups, and even the ones that can don't always try to break new ground so its awesome that SM is doing so!

[@tulip_03]

I agree. I think it was the way it was explained at first, making it seem vague, probably because they didn't want to spoil anything. But even then, I knew SM knew what they were doing. The plagiarism was a setback for me, and a lot of aspects led me to not believe so. This might have been the reason mainly because the only SM critique I have experienced was aespa's critique, along with the critique that Red Velvet's Zimzalabim received, along with the critique NCT's Limitless received. Over the 2 years I started listening to more older SM group music, like Girls Generation and f(x), I learned to trust SM's process more. In conclusion, the AI concept doesn't seem so bad anymore as it was first introduced because SM created an entire plot on it and it's aespa's entire concept. So, I don't hate it anymore !

[@shelv7607]

Setuju. SM Ent selalu memiliki ide baru dan berani memulai untuk mewujudkan mimpi mereka, disaat yang lain belum terpikirkan atau belum berani mengambil langkah dan resiko, SM berani ambil resiko dan tetap berjalan sesuai konsep dan rencana yang sudah dibangun dan dipikirkan matang-matang.
