[@somebody12377]

I'm sorry but the people who are like I don't get their concept or uncomfortable are the people who got their ideas from their own heads or twitter. If you actually took the time to watch the entire SM conference 2017 and 2020 you will understand aespa. SM spoke about aespa in 2017! They are not a copy of K/Da. If you followed the group you would understand the song and the meaning and the video. Their lyrics were different, something that you don’t see in Kpop. But here are people like saying it’s generic. I don’t understand why people don’t get that the AI are just an extension of the girls, they won’t take over. But anyways people are just concerned and projecting their own insecurities onto this concept without actually taking the time to wait and see or do their own research. Wait of course they do their own research, on Twitter.

I'm uncomfortable with the concept of there being a digital avatar of each girl that the fans can basically "own" (super uncomfortable). The digital avatars are also ripe for causing unhealthy body expectations and body dysmorphia as they will constantly be compared to the girls if the concept persists. Kpop already has super unhealthy body standards, and the digital avatars will just make this worse. These are my main 2 concerns with the concept.

[@VideosForYou90]

Agree!

[@arundhatisharma5743]

[@dreamysubliminals6137]

That's how digital avatar are. Even if you look at male digital avatars it's the same thing. I dont see their bodies as that different from the members anyways obviously they'll look different because they're not human. Honestly, people should learn not to feel insecure over non human bodies like it doesnt make sense. It's like being insecure of an alien. Also if someone has a good body that doesnt mean that you have to feel insecure about yourself. Learn to love yourself for who you are.

[@oliviadurand2429]

I honestly love the concept for Aespa! SM always has something new and different for their groups. And while this song isn’t anything innovative give them time to grow into a sound that feels like them. Look at Exo or Red Velvet’s debuts, while neither one of their debuts was bad it wasn’t jaw dropping, but look at them now they are killing the game!

I’m very excited to see how they incorporate their other side into their songs. This is only the beginning so please don’t hate them. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to be hated on not even 24 hours since you were introduced.

[@trinni1621]

I feel like at the end of the day, it’ll be the four girls. Not four human members and four virtual members, but just four girls, who trained and worked so hard to be here. I think the whole “AI members” was just a random statement that was meant to distract the media and public from sm’s controversies right now. Basically, the whole AI thing was just a publicity stunt. There were barely any scenes with the AI members in the mv, which I’m glad. But, Sm is smart in that aspect, I feel these virtual members aren’t going to be permanent, but it’ll mean that they can save money by not paying resources to cater to the real/human members in the group when it comes to fashion, makeup and hair, whilst or if they perform at music shows and concerts. These virtual members are also very easy to erase, they are disposable; like any form of technology, and they can be primarily used for marketing, advertisements or promotions. With a loose connection towards to the group dynamic, where aespa itself also don’t rely on the AI members for singing certain parts in a song or having specific choreo to add to anything personalised, it's very clever, it's controversial and different and SM knows exactly what they are doing. I guess it’ll be interesting where they take this group, really, I’m so curious.

And I get why they didn’t do something “out of the box” for their debut, maybe they’ll experiment more later on once aespa is a bit more established but right now their goal is to appeal to the broad public and have a solid debut that’s fits the current popular style. And I’m ok with that. I love their voices and the dance move during the chorus is so cool! Their visuals are of course stunning, but that’s kind of a given with SM ^^ My takeaway on the debut is: lots of potential and excited what else they’ll show us in the future!

While nothing particularly stands out, I already feel like I have enough to stan because these girls are clearly LEAKING talent. The vocals were incredibly strong, which I think is something we need in 4th gen right now. Obviously the dance ability and visuals and stage presence are there. Giselle really stands out to me as a rapper, her tone is not something I've really heard before and I think she has great potential (I wish this song would have let her pop off more like in her teaser). I see a lot more talent in this group compared to a lot of fourth gen groups. I also think they are incredibly well balanced, they all seem to complement each other really well, and I think they'll have excellent group chemistry. While yes, this wasn't the most amazing debut ever, they clearly proved themselves, so for that reason I'm really excited to see what they do next.

Honestly, at first, I was kind of concerned about the whole virtual members but I was still excited about the whole concept. But then Isaw the avatars and I was relieved since they don't look exactly like them which is a good decision in my opinion. Also, I understand where you're coming from but I also understand why they went for a generic debut. I have noticed that this is something that most kpop companies do. They start with a more common concept to kind of test the waters and then they experiment more. Especially that they are doing something completely different with the whole AI avatars so they did not want it to be too weird. I'm guessing they will start experimenting more in future comebacks after they see the public's reactions to this group. Overall I'm super excited !!!! love them already.

[@lathifahdhiya723]

That's a good point. People already too shocked with the whole concept and too experimental song might make it worst. They might become more experimental with more comebacks.

[@DanceForever236]

The song itself is average, I'll be completely honest. The production, the layering, the beat, it sounds generic. "Noise" music if you will. However, these girls vocals.... I hear it. They sound fantastic! For a debut group too!? Their voices sound so mature, alluring, and I can totally see the potential in these girls. This is the thing I like about SM artists. They are vocally trained, yes, but they're trained to use their natural voices and not in a certain way. You can hear it. Anyways, I'm super excited to see the future of Aespa and what else they have in store for us! We never know with SM, lol. Aespa fighting!!!!!!!!

I really wanted to love the song since SM sold the group as something revolutionary, but I felt like I've heard the song a million times before.

And it's not the girls fault at all, they're very well rounded and I do think they have potential, but it didn't amaze me. I'm excited for their debut stage, tho

I only like Winter tbh. And for a Big 3 debut, it was kinda underwhelming in my opinion. But their vocals were great (as expected from a SM group).

For me, the song is a BOP. It exceed my expectation for a rookie gg. I'm so proud of aespa. For me its a perfect 10 👌 Maybe the reason that is why, your expectation become low is because of you, setting a high standard to a rookie gg. It is just their debut song, it is just like a introduction of their group. Let's just wait for their future comebacks and see what they really got. I know there is nothing wrong setting a high expectation to them, especially they are from SM. But do not think that this is their last song, that they should already show everything that they got. There is a process for that. It is much better to take little step, than bigger one. Little step doesn't mean you are slow or lazy, it just mean that your just taking your time to process it all and slowly showing the real you.

With no intent to disrespect any of the members, as they're all beautiful and obviously talented, but BLACK MAMBA was not it for me.

Music Video wise, honestly, I can see why many people like it but, for me personally, it had too much popping up and too much going on making me not being able to focus and appreciate any of the parts, and not really enjoying the song I don't get the urge to rewatch it just to catch every single element of it. I kinda missed a rap in it ^^; I hope the rapper gets a bit more on the next comeback.

I like the mv and the song but I felt something was missing, my problem is I don’t know what it is. I’m definitely interested in the group, their stage performances and what comes next. My only real hope for the group is that the Ai characters aren’t too heavily used, I like the amount we saw them in the mv (a little with the main focus obviously on the actual members) and I hope it stays the same or very similar. This is because I here for the girls and their music not the Ai character but anyway. Overall happy with the debut and excited for more and to learn about the girls.

[@yn-ry4ly]

*_in my opinion,_* their debut was underwhelming and lack luster. I felt like it was a comeback and not a debut. Aespa looks very interesting but what disappointed me the most was the lack of the 'AI' concept in their debut. All of the teasers had shown some sort of link to technology and their AI concept all for it to be removed in the music video. It would've been more interesting if they included lots of the AI and Tech into the video because looking at it, without the AI and tech, black mamba doesn't really have anything special to offer. I heavily agree with the part that yes, I wanna love this song but I just can't. I feel so bad for the girls because knetz is eating them up. IDK if all these rumors and allegations are some sort of SM strategy to bring attention to the girls. I'm definitely hoping that SM turns this around because the girls seem talented and have big potential.

As you mentioned I think this is the first 4th gen girl group that actually impressed me with vocals and the dancing doesn't fall far behind. The visuals were great. I think they might have a comeback in the very near future and that's when they might do something more experimental (that red and black karina clip looks like a teaser for their next project).
