To all the so called MYs hating on Karina you need to check yourselves. All she’s ever done is shown love towards MY. Karina is a 24 year old woman. So let’s protect our precious leader and the rest of the group 🙏🫰
true❤ I guess they are not true fans if they can easily turn their backs like that😅 so two-faced😂 Karina may not be my bias but Ningning❤ but how dare y'all hurt Karina!!!
Something to add since these guides didn't include it is their powers within the lore (taken from their b-side "aenergy"): Karina Rocket Puncher (In an MV, she punches a bullet to make it go faster) Winter Armamenter (Weapons specialist, hence the swords and guns she uses in the various videos) Giselle got Xenoglossy (speaking and understanding all languages and forms of communication) Ning Ning E.D. Hacker (E.D. seems to be some kind of hacking group... I'm not sure it's ever explicitly defined what E.D. stands for, but in one of the lore videos she gets hackers from all over the world to help in their fight against the Black Mamba) Speaking of Giselle's Xenoglossy, you mentioned wanting to hear her speak French - you might want to check out their lore videos - in particular SMCU Episode 1.
Haven't seen many reactions to AESPA guides so this was a treat! Couple extra tidbits Le Sserafim's Yunjin and all of ITZY are close with AESPA. IIRC, at some point Yunjin lived in the same dorm as Giselle and Karina. I think it was those two but anyone is free to correct me. Eunchae also became close with Karina and Ningning after they appeared on 'Eunchae Star Diary' Yuqi is also close with Ningning. According to Ningning during a fan call, the two of them became friends through a group chat consisting of Chinese idols; it was created by Seventeen's The8. The guide mentioned Ningning as a BABY bada. But another member that many also pointed how similar she is to a fellow SM idol is Winter. I've seen many comments talking about how she looks like a mini Taeyeon. I believe there was a Variety show where the both of them were on and it was brought up how they look similar
wasn't the one who lived with yunjin were ning and winter? (and maybe karina too). yunjin have left SM already when giselle joined SM. yunjin on pd48 was already pledis trainee for a while. pd48 was in early 2018, and giselle only joins SM around december 2019. their training period didn't overlap at all. ningning was the one who said she lived with yunjin first before winter said the same.
25:28 Under the view the title of the stage and the artists are written under the barcode. It says AESPA x NCT. The song is called Zoo. It's a collaboration between the two groups, NCT 127's Taeyong, NCT Dream's Jeno. WayV's Hendery & Yangyang, and AESPA's Giselle.
it didn’t include but karina is an Extrovert she has silly energetic cute cat like behavior characters also one of her nick name is stupid cheese cat she also make’s a lot of cat noises,she really love’s mys and she often send long messages to mys on pupple ❤
Actually if u want to check out their mvs, here is the order : -black mamba at first then next level then savage then girls then spicy Then drama (Obviously they have bsides mvs and singles)
aespa MV 1. Black Mamba (debut) 2. Forever 3. Next Level 4. Savage 5. Dreams Come True 6. Life’s Too Short 7. Girls 8. Welcome to MY World (feat naevis) 9. I’m Unhappy 10. Salty and Sweet 11. Thirsty 12. Spicy 13. Better Things 14. Drama 15. Regret of The Times
Ulzzang (literally "best face") is a kind of outdated term for a social media influencer from back in the early days of Korean internet. Think Myspace influencers who got famous for taking pretty selfies. The term still gets used for Instagram models occasionally which I think is more accurate in Karina's case.
Thank you for the video. The group's name, aespa, combines the English initials of "avatar" and "experience" (Avatar X Experience) with the English word "aspect", meaning "two sides", to symbolize the idea of "meeting another self and experiencing the new world". aespa has a storyline related to their music videos so you should start with their debut song, in order: ___(Story Line)___ - Black Mamba (Debut MV) - aespa ep.1 ‘Black Mamba' - SM Culture Universe (Mini movie) - Next Level (MV) - Savage (MV) - aespa ep.2 ‘Next Level’ - SM Culture Universe (Mini movie) - Girls (MV) - aespa ep.3 Girls (Don’t you know I’m a Savage?) - SM Culture Universe (Mini movie) - Welcome To MY World (MV) (pre-release single) - Spicy (MV) - Drama (MV) ___(Out of history) (MV)___ - Forever (The song is a remake) - Dreams Come True (The song is a remake) - Life’s To Short (English ver.) - Better Things (English single) - Jingle Bell Rock - Regret of the Times (The song is a remake) - Jacob Collier - Over You (feat. Chris Martin, aespa) (Collaboration) ___(OST)___ - Once Again (Ning Ning & Winter) - Hold On Tight (‘Tetris’ Apple Original Film) - We Go (Pokemon OST for Korean version show) - ZOOM ZOOM (BEYBLADE X - Anime OST) ___(B-sides) (Tracks)___ (Savage - 1st Mini Album) - aenergy - I’ll Make You Cry - YEPPI YEPPI - ICONIC - Lucid Dream (Girls - 2nd Mini Album) - Illusion - Lingo - ICU (MY WORLD - 3rd Mini Album) - Salty & Sweet - Thirsty - I’m Unhappy - Til We Meet Again (Drama - 4th Mini Album) - Trick or Trick - Don't Blink - Hot Air Balloon - YOLO - You Fun fact: The SM Culture Universe(SMCU) concept is inspired by Marvel, so SMCU is not only for AESPA but for all SM artists and groups who will be connected later, such as BoA, EXO, NCT, Red Velvet. To understand the concept of aespa you need to watch 3 mini-movies with English subtitles: - aespa ep.1 ‘Black Mamba' - SM Culture Universe (Duration: 10 minutes): ruclips.net/video/vbH4Lk5wYWg/видео.html - aespa ep.2 ‘Next Level’ - SM Culture Universe (Duration: 17 minutes): ruclips.net/video/i8fRCkq5tbw/видео.html - aespa ep.3 Girls (Don’t you know I’m a Savage?) - SM Culture Universe (Duration: 17 minutes): ruclips.net/video/iq-ivLY_9A8/видео.html
Great to see you finally checking out aespa ❤❤ I really think its worth to check out their full albums. They have such good b-sides. There are 4 Mini Albums in total with 6-7 songs each. If you want to dive even deeper into their discography, here are some songs that i recommend: First are some of the smtown-songs (These are collaboration-albums with songs from different members of the groups of SM-Entertainment) Here are some examples from these albums with aespa members (For a reaction the stage videos would be the best): - Priority (with Winter) - Hot & Cold (with Karina) - Zoo (With Giselle / This was in the second video for giselles rap (25:28)) - Time After Time (With Ningning) - Jet (With Winter and Giselle) Except these and the albums, they have a few other singles that are worth mentioning: - Hold On Tight (This is a song for a movie focused around the game tetris) - Regret of the Times (2024 aespa Remake Ver.) - We Go (this is a japanese song for the Pokémon Anime) - ZOOM ZOOM (this one also is in japanese) - Forever (this is a really calm and nice song) And if you like christmas themed songs then there are two more songs to mention: - Jingle Bell Rock - Beautiful Christmas (this one is a collaboration with Red Velvet) For the last words i would like to mention that you should reaaally check out Red Velvet. In my opinion they have the best discography in all of K-Pop. You would get a taste from Red Velvet in 2 Songs listed above: Hot & Cold with Seulgi and Beautiful Chrismas with all of the members. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work 👍
Hi LC. Appreciate the video on the guides. I would suggest to listen to their MVs in chronological order and then you could check out their albums B-sides as well as their 3 episodes of their SMCU series to get a grasp of their lore
They debuted on my 21st birthday cuz I remember watching the MV for BM when it dropped, but somehow didn’t come back to Aespa until like the first half of 2023
16:33 Glad you're checking out NCT and AESPA then. AESPA has their own lore and is also connected to the SM universe, same as NCT which has their own lore in the group and also connected with AESPA with KWANGYA.
also those tests are also very inaccurate its almost the same thing as taking a test to see if u have adhd or any other diagnosis.. the only way to find out your mbti is to learn about cognitive functions which was the original mbti until some white man decided to rebrand it and add new terms that has nothing to do with your presonality and cognitive functions
You don't pronounce the "A" in Aespa. It's pronounced "Ess-Pah". NingNing is probably my bias, followed by Karina. I've been following them since their debut. With them, I think I'd like to see you cover their whole discography, since they are in my top five favorite group, but it wouldn't be a travesty if you didn't, as this groups b-sides aren't as great as their titles (this is normally not the case with many groups, like say ITZY). ***However, you should really include XG as a part of your next girl group poll. You'll really like them and since they're relatively newer their discography is not that vast.
To all the so called MYs hating on Karina you need to check yourselves. All she’s ever done is shown love towards MY. Karina is a 24 year old woman. So let’s protect our precious leader and the rest of the group 🙏🫰

Great to see you finally checking out aespa ❤❤
I really think its worth to check out their full albums. They have such good b-sides.
There are 4 Mini Albums in total with 6-7 songs each.
If you want to dive even deeper into their discography, here are some songs that i recommend:
First are some of the smtown-songs (These are collaboration-albums with songs from different members of the groups of SM-Entertainment)
Here are some examples from these albums with aespa members (For a reaction the stage videos would be the best):
- Priority (with Winter)
- Hot & Cold (with Karina)
- Zoo (With Giselle / This was in the second video for giselles rap (25:28))
- Time After Time (With Ningning)
- Jet (With Winter and Giselle)
Except these and the albums, they have a few other singles that are worth mentioning:
- Hold On Tight (This is a song for a movie focused around the game tetris)
- Regret of the Times (2024 aespa Remake Ver.)
- We Go (this is a japanese song for the Pokémon Anime)
- ZOOM ZOOM (this one also is in japanese)
- Forever (this is a really calm and nice song)
And if you like christmas themed songs then there are two more songs to mention:
- Jingle Bell Rock
- Beautiful Christmas (this one is a collaboration with Red Velvet)
For the last words i would like to mention that you should reaaally check out Red Velvet. In my opinion they have the best discography in all of K-Pop.
You would get a taste from Red Velvet in 2 Songs listed above: Hot & Cold with Seulgi and Beautiful Chrismas with all of the members.
Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work 👍
Ningning also has adhd! I feel like you’ll really like this group! ❤❤❤
Hi LC. Appreciate the video on the guides.

YESSSS!!! Please do an IVE one next
They debuted on my 21st birthday cuz I remember watching the MV for BM when it dropped, but somehow didn’t come back to Aespa until like the first half of 2023
16:33 Glad you're checking out NCT and AESPA then. AESPA has their own lore and is also connected to the SM universe, same as NCT which has their own lore in the group and also connected with AESPA with KWANGYA.
you need to react to the smcu episodes they are so good
Literally everything
aespa is the best
Girrllll, you're so pretty. Huhu, off topic, I wanna know skincare routine, pls. 😭🤞🤞
YES❤
U r so gorg oml
I hope you react to an updated unhelpful guide to ITZY, you reacted to the 2022 ver. and since then many have changed in ITZY.
WATCH THE SMCU pleaseee
❤
You are still going to do nmixx vids right?
React to ENHYPEN please!!
I recommend given taken (debut song), drunk dazed, fever and tamed dashed🙌🏻
lol kpop profiles mbtis are so wrong, winter is an istp, karina is an esfj, giselle is an isfp and ningning is an enfp
also those tests are also very inaccurate its almost the same thing as taking a test to see if u have adhd or any other diagnosis.. the only way to find out your mbti is to learn about cognitive functions which was the original mbti until some white man decided to rebrand it and add new terms that has nothing to do with your presonality and cognitive functions
And now Giselle mbti is infj
plz react to xg :)
You don't pronounce the "A" in Aespa. It's pronounced "Ess-Pah". NingNing is probably my bias, followed by Karina. I've been following them since their debut.

NCTがジゼルのバックダンサー😅？ww
All you need to know is that this group is full of weirdos 😂
aespa's music is TOP-TIER
