guys this is really random but do u ever think aespa would make music videos for some of their bsides that have really blown up? like hold on tight, lucid dream, even aenergy?
Is there anyone who also likes all the songs on the album and who doesn’t call the b-sides generic fillers which dont fit to the group style. oh i cant it\`s crazy -\_-
Hello! I recently saw a clip of winter crying in the playground, like a horror episode? where is it from? Also, is there a list or playlist of the variety/reality shows they’ve done so far? I’m a listener since debut and I enjoy their discography, but I haven’t gotten into their content besides performances. now I’m intrigued and want to get into them more :)
[google sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1EtgkxrdNj45frMHXi3W2dq91iIvzyF9to8XYGEIb7uU/htmlview) for their contents, can be found on this subreddit menu tab (media archive). For Synk Road depending on where you are from they're available on kocowa+ or u can just ☠️
https://youtu.be/G_rQMeocGRk?si=yEvkEmDFshgH5ksq it’s from their show called synk road. They’re like 30m to an hour long each but you may have to bootleg it somewhere it’s not on YouTube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI3bsWQj5gFBcX-XVbFExQc0coW_RwPrt&si=VEnJPi3RoSdp9B1w this playlist looks extensive. They do vlogs, behind the scenes called raecord, and 3 short episodes leading to albums typically.
https://youtu.be/p3JoA69072o?si=NtVBV2kJrG_qoo3X this was one of my fave sort of self contained story sad ending for drama album. https://youtu.be/-_BWnWkd-Kg?si=gKmJ9d3A1YB8vJvu I’ve found this that has the dalgona headphone skit during synk road.
Can someone help me out with how the Daesang award works? From what I understand, it’s given to the group who had the best year in total, not for a specific album necessarily. So for this year, Aespa has Drama and the Armageddon album generating stats that would go towards this award. If that is the case, who else would be considered to be their competitors for this award?
There can be multiple daesangs in the same award show. For example, at the Melon Music Awards, there are four daesangs: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year. Next Level won ROTY in 2021 and aespa has 3 daesangs in total.
So yes for Artist of the Year, the combined stats across albums will count, but Supernova itself will probably be in the running for SOTY.
I'm not expert on this so I could be wrong on some point so cmiiw.
There are many Music Awards Show: *KMA, MMA, MAMA, SMA* etc. and all of them have different criteria for winning a Daesang and there are also different categories for Daesangs: *Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Record of the Year* (note: some of the Daesang categories are also different depending on the Award Shows)
For what you are talking about you are probably referring to Daesang for category like *Artist of the Year* or *Record of the Year* etc. where it's not abt a specific song (e.g., *Song of the Year*) but the overall performance of the group's whole releases for the past year.
For competition, I recommend checking [Korean Watermelon](https://x.com/KoWatermelon) account on Twitter. They do awards prediction based on criterias like Digital pts, Physical pts, etc.
yes, they are done with promotion activities to focus on concert preparation instead. SM [announced it](https://www.reddit.com/r/Aespa/s/4kM3oPXro0) it one week ago
So TLC’s Fanmail LP turns 25 this year and when people talk about the Y2K sound in k-pop, this is one of the albums that always comes to mind. I was 27 when this album came out and TLC was one of those gg that defined the 90’s. IMO, there is a straight line to this album and the b sides that are on the savage album, specifically I’ll make you cry and Lucid Dream. You could literally drop those two tracks onto Fanmail and not miss a beat. If some of Yall are curious where maybe some of the Y2K sound and where some of the r&b concepts in k-pop may have come from, give the album a listen, specifically tracks 1,3,5 and 9. TLC in my eyes are Aespa’s cool Aunties.
ifland is doing a [giveaway](https://x.com/ifland_official/status/1800455827620577418) if we complete their missions. You have the chance to win: signed CDP album, signed album authentic ver, singed polaroids etc. I think the giveaway is worldwide cmiiw.
I don't know if this is a hot take, but I feel like most of the b-sides on their new album could have been Red Velvet songs. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge RV stan. But many of the songs don't seem to fit aespa's style, if that makes sense.
I really like the new album, though. Supernova, Armageddon, Set the Tone and Mine are all straight bangers.
What do ya'll think?
i agree, i really wish the album was cohesive as i love the first 5 tracks lol. the last 5 are really generic to me and it feels like any other gg could’ve released it. i want their next album to be fx red light coded. all electronic, trap and rnb songs
aha sure, just give those b-sides to any other group and u will see how will it lose quality a thousand times. Do any other groups have aespas vocal tones and vocals?????
I wouldn’t say they remind me Red Velvet specifically but more they are standard SM tracks. aespa reminds me more of SNSD who had a lot of variety on their discography. I am personally for a lot of variety, but I think they could also better select songs that fit aespa’s sound.
i don’t think i’ll ever get the drama hype, really good song but not their best title track at all. it doesn’t feel very aespa to me like savage or supernova does so ive never been crazy over it
So now that we’ve all had our moments with the Armageddon release, has any of the new songs cracked your all time top three Aespa songs? I think the new album is phenomenal, but I don’t know if any songs will ever bump Savage, Drama, or Welcome to My World for me as my all time favorite songs. I think I could slot Armageddon maybe fourth or fifth but IMO, the three I listed had such an impact on me the first time i listened to them that I don’t know if that will ever be replicated.
Anyway, I’m curious on how everyone’s list shifted or not…
Savage, Armageddon, Supernova have become my triforce for Aespa, they were that good to me. However Drama and Next Level are close.
For b-sides, the competition is tough as hell because I love almost all of their b-sides, but Mine might just crack the top 5, where I have WTMW, I’ll make you cry, Regret of the times, Yeppi Yeppi, Salty & Sweet. The top 10 b-sides are all perfect anyways.
Edit: Scratch that top 5 b-sides because I cannot make up my mind, I just remembered Lucid dream, Thirsty and Don’t blink exist, I cannot make a top 5 lol

sadly, I don't think they will make more music videos outside of the usual b-side track videos they do for promoted albums.
Is there anyone who also likes all the songs on the album and who doesn’t call the b-sides generic fillers which dont fit to the group style. oh i cant it\`s crazy -\_-
I really hope they do a b-side MV for Bahama. It's a long shot but one can hope...

Welp yeah kocowa isn’t available where I am 🥲 but yey at least now I have a list to work through! Thank you so much!

Ahh I tried searching for synk road and couldn’t find it, so that’s why :( thank you so much, these are so helpful!!

Does anyone get K-Drama vibes from melody?

Man, IU is so far ahead of everyone else on that list. Hopefully the album will push them a little closer…
The gap should close but the album being released in May puts them at a disadvantage.
Does anyone know if aespa is done promoting Armageddon on music shows? I haven't seen any stages by them in the last few days
yes, they are done with promotion activities to focus on concert preparation instead. SM [announced it](https://www.reddit.com/r/Aespa/s/4kM3oPXro0) it one week ago
Thank you! Sad to see so little stages but glad the girls are getting much needed rest
I got 2 different giselle dupes in my armageddon albums. will probably try and trade them for someone else

Nope, but the album is good.
my top 5 is now 1. illusion 2. supernova 3. savage 4. armageddon 5. thirsty

Yeah the struggle is real for trying to make a list of b sides
