I love how you guys now speculate and theorize like a true MY does in every aespa comeback MV's. Welcome to the fandom! 😂❤

[@yeppiyeppi1410]

theres people out there that think it doesnt fit in with their lore...... but ningning said in her bbl that shes been listening to this song since before debut. so theyve had this song planned since long ago to be part of the lore. this song is so good. there is suposed to be 4 seasons of SMCU or 4 different worlds and this is the start of SMCU season 2.

[@sren6731]

everyone was nervous that aespa were changing their sound a bit after the hiatus but they ateee! thank you for the long reaction

It still sounds aespa to me but more digestible for non fans

People who are saying that aren’t real fans then. They would know Aespa finally defeated black mamba and are basically celebrating with an upbeat song.

[@alyanacuanico864]

thank for always appreciating aespa 🥰

[@rakhmath21]

From Black Mamba till Girls we already got aespa with warrior/fighter vibes in Kwangya things. Now they're telling Real World things (still in role), we got mystical vibes when we heard Welcome To MY World (welcoming naevis) and we got strange phenomenon in Spicy. This is just a start, I'm curious about next story.

[@mynaevisweluvyah1301]

I think the strange phenomenon was caused by naevis coming to the real world. Her existence might disrupt the structure of the earth since she's totally from kwangua

[@mynaevisweluvyah1301]

Kwangya**

yess that's what i thought

[@quinton3199]

Aespa amazing Vocalists and performer's who knows how to make a difference with their individual presence and chorus parts and adlibs in the background Aespa and Shinee are literally both known for changing up their sound and style

[@mairaleao]

If I remember correctly one of the first lines on 'Girls' is Giselle's: "the metaverse is real". So I actually think Hannah is onto something. Plus, all their side track seem to have this similar concept, especially 'I'm Unhappy'. I'm curious if they decided to leave the hard lore to Naevis debut, which was announced by SM and hinted in 'Welcome to my world' or if they'll do a SMCU episode to clarify. Btw.. 11.17 is their debut date (Nov 17 2020). Thank u so much for the breakdown!

[@user-go4qe9rw4t]

First! I'm so glad that you two is into the aespa world🎉

[@neowaffle]

about the lore, they are in the REAL WORLD but a strange phenomenon is happening (in the album teasers you can see them too, like in this MV) I think it's due to the arrival of Naevis (or who knows if it's a new villain) to the real world. This is causing the world to become unbalanced and the separation of the REAL WORLD with KWANGYA to disappear. It could be that all those things that are happening are Kwangya's things and they happened to reality

[@valeriyav2149]

the song is such a banger 🔥and the mv gave "mean girls" movie vibes i looove giselle's sassy lines - she do be slaying

[@syryozh6957]

I think the main thing and lore of this music video is a strange phenomenon. that is, at the beginning we can see students and aespa girls and then we can see how someone turned on the fire alarm, and everyone began to run away except for the aespa, which means they dgaf about this phenomenon. after which when they dance in the pool we notice that there is no one in the college and they dance while the glitches occur (a strange phenomenon). then I think they had a party at which time seemed to freeze as part of a strange phenomenon, which is interesting that this did not affect the aespa at all ... are they to blame for the strange phenomenon? after we can see them on the street which looks pretty apocalyptic... but again they dgaf, they're just watching movies and dancing, pretty sus... in general, I am waiting for theorists who will completely analyze and explain the lore

[@syryozh6957]

i think strange phenomenon can be caused by the way they defeated black mamba idk

[@matthewhocking3575]

I assumed that the glitches were caused by Naevis entering the Real World, which is why Aespa is so unfazed by it. In the "news report" preview trailer, they act like it's no big deal, maybe to conceal the fact that she's there. But I don't know. There's nothing in the MV that really shows that specifically.

[@syryozh6957]

@@matthewhocking3575 i thought about it too, honestly🤔

It was actually connected with both of MVs but this isnot really canon compared to wtmw.thats what i am thinking

Giselle line is so satisfying to hear, I was like yes 10 out of 10

[@iris2552]

I'm not sure if you guys have seen the first teaser for this era, it was shot as an interview for a news reporter and in that teaser it showed that they don't care about the phenomenon and that it is "nothing new" as they've dealt with something like this before aka black mamba

[@fatmcgee509]

Kpop needs more college/sorority vibes. Especially when that’s age of the girls in the groups. This song is fun! Edit: Just saw that they’re actually supposed to be high schoolers in this. CAN WE NOT PLEASE? Can we let the 20+ year old group actually be their age and not portray them as kids, while also singing a suggestive song? And drinking? And partying? Smfh Edit: Ok it was in fact filmed on a college campus. Wiki might be wrong. I don’t know. I just don’t like creepy shit. If they’re being portrayed as their own age I have 0 problem with any of this.

[@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon]

So basically you down bad for college girls? Noted.

[@fatmcgee509]

@@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon Lmao what a weird take. No. What I meant is that I’d rather 20-something girls singing suggestive lyrics be portrayed as college girls rather than high school CHILDREN. It’s less creepy.

@@fatmcgee509 yeah i was just messing with you. Agreed that the whole high school look witb suggestive lyrics is rather distasteful. Personally I'd rather have more mature concepts especially if the lyrics gonna be spicy.

[@sipusy]

aespa didn't change their concept, after defeated black mamba and naevis lost her power,they turning to real world with naevis with this album's songs.. Spoiler : in the next full album they would be battle again, and the clue is in spicy's MV

[@susantoarismunandar]

I think the lyrics have double meanings, for their specific lore and for music listeners in general.

[@vim2339]

Winter slay this comeback harder then ever!! I ❤ I couldn’t take my eyes off winter 😫

[@Vortex143]

The song could be the “calm” before the storm like another threat emerges and/or the Black Mamba never “died” but that’s just what I think

[@ecinm]

Loved your reaction! I really enjoyed the discussion on the lore in the MV, because in my opinion, the lore/universe is half the fun of aespa's whole concept. I'm definitely feeling the time loop and alternate reality theories, especially considering the track videos as well. Some random lore that I want answered eventually is the significance of certain colours for this comeback, the members are in specific colours in that last ending car scene and there seemed to be specific colour themes in the track videos and the significance of eyes in the music videos/track videos. We've seen many shots of Karina's eye in older MVs, there was her green eye in Salty and Sweet, and the eye puzzle in I'm Unhappy.

[@cocolemon8942]

One of the smartest reactors and understand the lore of aespa. aespa is the reason why I listen to kpop again after 2ne1 disbandment. Kpop/SM stan since 2007 and YGE stan since 2009

[@ichikahidame]

Yass Giselle always have iconic line 😎🔥

[@minowillow]

The new lore is that now that naevis is in the REAL WORLD, strange events and glitches started to happen in the real world. thats why this song is more "normal" and thats why there are weird glitches in the background and on the sky, etc! and also i think spicy is kinda through the eyes of the aes! just having fun in the world now that there isn't a villain after them! also at the end of the video its looks like there are not human in the world! just them! like the humans glitched out or something

[@poppyhillghost]

Your doggy on the sofa at the back 🥺💞

[@dakjumnyodu2108]

One of a kind - karina

[@guido6006]

Alright to explain the song along with the teasers they put out, the glitching is happening because it's the aftermath of what happened after the battle with the Black Mamba but for some reason, aespa's pretending the 'strange phenomenon' doesn't exist (there's a teaser where they're being interviewed about all the glitching and the strange objects pouring into the real world and they're acting unfazed by it all), to the point where their in-universe fans are concerned about them throwing a party after a big disaster but the media's saying fans shouldn't worry about them and how they're acting or something. Basically after the fight they're taking a break, we don't know if this is before or after Welcome To My World, it's most likely after, after they're done being sad over Naevis' disappearance. Now for some reason, Naevis disappeared again or they may be hiding her in the real world but we don't know why.

[@Rhaphidophile]

I don't know much about the lore because I haven't watched any of the story videos, but I feel like this "era" will show the girls living in the real world outside of the world where ae lives, considering they already defeated the Black Mamba, there's no conflict there anymore and they can continue their lives as it was before. We've seen glimpses of the "real world" before like with Life's Too Short.

[@minjeongkim9890]

And also, their teasers are about the phenomenon going around them, and they get interviewed about it.

[@taengoonim]

I feel like theyre in alternate universe where they are the spicy kind of girls perhaps a different version of themselves who's causing the strange phenomenon thus, the unfazed attitude. Since I noticed that they literally spawn from the air along with the pink car, and everytime they dance in the pool they trigger a glitch, then they were able to trigger time freeze as well

[@KokoPie-wt9om]

this is where naevis come to the world (earth) like Welcome to my world was the hint BUT.... we soon get new Villain that's why in Spicy video we got the glitch and other hint from fhe MV READY FOR THE AE1 EVERYONE ?

[@clementinec8961]

I think you guys are absolutely on point with the metaverse/parallel world theory. The title for the pre-release is Welcome to MY world instead of welcome to real world. I think here MY is capitalized for some reason. Also, in Girls on the bridge, there was a line going "Naevis on the real MY world" , which grammatically makes no sense. If we understood MY world as a place parallel to the REAL WORLD, it explains everything including the strange phenomenon.

[@charmz7]

11:17 is important for aespa for their debut day is November 17. I like how you guys go in detail with the lore and went into depth of how this Real World type of MV is connected to the story.

[@Bugeli]

13:15 I immediately recognized that time! 11/17 is their debut date (and my birthday too)

[@daripooh4196]

I think their concept has changed slightly where the pre real eases will be intros to their concept and titles will be more public friendly which is very smart to me

While season 1 focusing on kwangya, season 2 (starting with spicy) will be focusing on REAL WORLD as you can see in their mv and teaser there's glitching, bouncing furry balls, car falling from the sky etc or what they called it "a strange phenomenon" happen in real world. The cause of this phenomenon still a mystery but fans speculated that this happened because of 'after effects' from fighting black mamba.
