"We feel so proud to have set a good record with our debut track, and we sincerely thank every one of our fans who have given us love and support. We promise to be the aespa that gives good music and bright energy in 2021."
The group debuted last year with a unique theme of having each member connected to its own avatar in a fictional space — ae-Karina, ae-Giselle, ae-Winter and ae-Ningning. The agency explained that the name is short for "Avatar X Experience," to evoke a theme of "meeting a new ego of oneself to experience a new world."
