Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM Entertainment is the pioneer of kpop training system so yes, they have the BEST TRAINING SYSTEM. It is also known to the fans of SM groups that even if you're not really skilled, SM got it for you. They will teach you and polished you to the level people wouldn't believe you just learned recently. A popular example of course is Taeyong from NCT who originally didn't know how to dance then turns out to be one of kpop's most skilled dancers. Yes, SM Entertainment, the blueprint of KPOP.
Its true, SM is one of the best labels when it comes to training their artist. They have a reputation for cranking out the best dancers for their artist. Boa, Hyo yeon, Seulgi, Karina, Ses. Those are just the females too.
Jaehyun from NCT said one time that he didn't really know how to dance back then. So it's so shocking and makes me somewhat proud whenever I watch him in dance practices because he is one of the best dancers in NCT❤
Yeah nowadays SM always give a hint for SM's artist next comeback in other's artist MV. Like AESPA debut hints already in SuperM, NCT U, and Red Velvet MVs. Boa will have her 20th anniversary comeback so make sense.
It's called SM Culture Universe basically they hinting whose who are going to be next in every ending of each mv, like NCT, SuperM hinting aespa debut.
@@timozhy honestly, accurate statement. The girls were amazing. But I don't think this song did them justice. But at least the vocals really stood out for me
Don’t know if you’ve heard about it Jeff but SM has introduced this thing called SMCU which explains the teasers we’ve been getting in the end of One, Make a Wish and now Black Mamba. It seems as if they’re doing a storyline similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with their groups and artists. So the person in the end was actually BoA who is having q comeback in December to celebrate her 20th anniversary. I saw a lot of people thinking it was a new member or one of the aespa members which just tells you how that woman never ages! She looks etheral!
I think that's so cool especially as all the groups have really big storylines and once superm debuted everyone was theorising whether nct, exo and taemin's storylines were linked so this would make perfect sense
Yeah Taemin said in their album release that the ending of One has a story line.. but only taemin knows lols.. I knew it is somehow related.. since they show aespa logo in one many times... plus the weird ending we are getting in the end.. probably this is for another release album or some one...
@@duaaqabel Unfortunately, you need to that for a business strategy. A group always has the center or face of group, this member will "sell" her/his visual for the public which means she/he will get the most screen time. I actually think, this is really fair the fact that Karina is the center which is make sense
It's still their debut's mv. So can't judge much yet; because that's something normal to do for any groups to have their center/visual more screentime. I mean, there are a lot of worse distribution happens in the industry.
Hi the vocalist u like is Ningning, one of the ast surviving SM rookies girls. Im glad she waited. She has a really good voice even when she was younger.
@@yumixiaos sr rookies were the predebut trainees that were revealed to the public way back. Most nct members were rookies prior to debuting. There werecseveral girls back then but they left one by one as their debut did not happen. Ningning waited for a really long time
@@babylionssirenblack1595 ohh so it was just like the trainee program and it was sm showing everyone the talents of the rookies in training, kinda like jyps trainee showcase? but with profiles and such?
@@yumixiaos yes, kinda. But unfortunately the girls didnt have much contents to show off their talents unlike sm rookies boys (sm rookies boys even have had showcase in bangkok prior to their debut in nct). The only sm rookies girls who finally debut is red velvet (except Joy) and ningning of aespa. If you know Xu Yiyang, who is an artist under ex-EXO Huang Zitao's management, she's also was part of sm rookies girls but failed to debut in sm. Yiyang and Ningning were introduced in same timearound 2014 or 2015 as i remember.
@@yumixiaos yes. They focused on pre nct members and kind of died down in 2018. NewKidd member Hansol was an SM rookoe, for undisclosed reason, he left SM and auditioned for the Unit. Most girls left either because even after years of training, they did not make thr cut, or they wanted to be somewhere else in their career Most rookies starter at 12 or 13 years of age like Mark Lee and the rest of 7Dream NCT except for Chenle who was already a child star and a skilled vocalist in China prior to debut.
Honestly, I'm relieved that the AI thing is more for marketing and merchandising than for the music part. That's a good thing I think. I did not like the song that much at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it ! And for the rapping Giselle was very promising in her teaser, so I think the next tilte track will allow her to shine more ! Vocals of course do not disappointing, and I look forward th dance practice too ! And let's appreciate how this MV was gorgeous and well-produced ! As you said, what a debut !
I don't think SM would invest on AI just for Kpop.. of course they would go further than that. After all they are capitaliSM (lol old jokes) aespa is just their way to start off and promote
Exactly people were so fast to judge them without even doing research and knowing about how its an endorsement that SM will be doin for all their artists for the new SMCU.. sm certainly be pioneers even though they suck most of the time 😂😂😂
@@hannishamsul4983 Yes. People have WILD IMAGINATION LOL. They create their own story and theory. But now they shut up... This is my own prediction, for SMCU start with Aespa, other SM groups will have their own Avatar... (Years ago BoA & SNSD have avatar, and other group already have their own official icon too like colour/animal/fruit/power etc)
Had to agree with you there about SM. Have been an SM stan for years and their groups always deliver (not saying that other groups didn't). SM idols always have this royal family vibes? This went beyond my expectation for SM girl group. Glad aespa did not debuting with cute concept.
SM is honestly no joke when it comes to training their artists. That’s why I don’t like it when people say “They’re only famous because they came from the Big 3 (I honestly am confused what people call Big3 now but Imma still say SM, JYP and YG cuz that’s what I grew up into.)” I can’t say much for JYP and YG because I’ve only been an SM stan, but for where SM artists are concerned, they deserve all the fame because they definitely worked hard for it and saying “they’re just from the Big 3” is like discrediting the hardships they have to pass to debut.
And sm seldom being a debut spotlight since they wont send their trainees to survival shows, and never get the first win during debut time. Me as a sm stan too, I saw too much of those who says they come from big 3. What attracts me the most is their music and vocals that keeps me going on, but stanning a group it took a long time for me to stan
@@vlee7025 Exactly and how can anyone undermine the vocal skills of any SM artists just because of the stigma “they’re from the Big3”...they use it a negative connotation but tbh they debuted from the Big 3 for a reason but that’s not everything.
sm is literally the home for all the power vocal artists! and i don't think you noticed, the woman in the ending is BoA. some says sm is connecting mv after mv. 😁🔥
Some people theorize that this is more of a concept song than anything (similar to EXO MAMA) because of the amount of references to their avatars. I think that makes sense, but also I just like the song and for some reason lots of people are disappointed 🤷🏻♀️
I think it's because some people (including me) had really high expectations for a debut song. The song isn't bad but it's pretty generic and not really memorable as a debut song (EXOs MAMA and Red Velvets Happiness are examples of memorable debut songs imo). Everyone has their own preferences tho!
Coming from SM,the SM stans wanted an sm debut song like how exo mama,shinee replay,snsd world,rv happiness, nct 7sence so yes it was epic just like all other Sm groups but the song was really generic coming from SM but if we think this does not feel like a debut but a comeback, even if I don't stan this group they are just as talented as other SM groups so hope people do give aespa a chance and don't hate people based on groundless rumours
But come to think of it, is this could be SM's trick? To pull off a not so experimental song for aespa in order to still be consistent to their act of not releasing familiar debut songs? Idk but I am feeling this song for sure. I do understand other people's reactions tho.
@@michaelmaro1962 hmm that's an interesting theory. Honestly we would have to wait for their new boy group to debut to see about that. It's supposed to happen in 2021 so we'll see soon
I'm seriously just obsessed with the dance and am SO excited to see the full one on stage or dance practice!! The line distribution is also incredibly fair which doesn't happen very often especially for a debut, and ofcourse the MV and song? INSANE. The girls are so talented aswell, all of them stood out to me. There already are some haters cause of the Avatars that the girls have, but hopefully they won't see those and just get overwhelmed with the new fans and how great they are! Seriously hope they get a win, cause this song is addictive and imo the best SM debut, they put a LOT into this debut, and it's the first time I've fallen in love with an SM group immediately from day 1. I love SM but most groups took me a while to get into, this? This speaks to my soul haha!
Ningning is the name of the girl you mentioned as the "child" of Chungha and Jennie. She's part of the OG SM Rookies and she's a '02 liner. She's the maknae of the group and the Chinese member. Like Chenle, she also had a music background back in China (she has participated in singing shows there). I am so happy that Ningning has finally debuted. It's kinda sad to see her without the other og girl sm rookies but I'm also looking forward to aespa's performances.
Is it weird that I think that the guy being made by all the ooze is Kai, referring to his debut. For some reason it reminds me a little bit of some of his teasers.
i want so badly to see the dance practice and them singing it live. that bridge with winter & ningning + ningning's high note will kill me. also, imagine how many bruises they'll get on their knees with so many floor choreo? how they gonna manage to breath and sing properly while getting down so many times? sm didn't take easy on them. so excited for their future!
SM groups always had this storyline and connected every comeback and now SM has announced the start of SMCU (SM Cinematic Universe i guess?). It will begin with Aespa and continue through groups like EXO, RED VELVET, NCT etc. While the stories/universe of each groups will unfold individually they will somehow intertwine and connect with each other to create new stories. Which is why we can see aespa's logo on superm's 'One' mv, the train scene in nct u's 'MAW' ending, and now BoA at the end of aespa's 'black mamba' ending.
Yeah but ever since that SM has a new CEO, we got a lot of RV Monster content (Dance practice, 3 stage version and red velvet vlog) and they got better in promoting their groups.
@@stephaneasio yesss, her vocals is good like a main vocalist (she could be main vocalist but NingNing’s technique is superior) For me is Winter- the best tone and emotion NingNing- the best technique
Yessss!!! I was super excited w the both of them because they sounded so cute with the Spotify introduction 🥺 AND LIKE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR WINTER EVERYWHERE BECAUSE WE HAD ALMOST NOTHING ON HER WHEN HER TEASERS DROPPED 😭😭😭
theres no rap parts in this song which i found very refreshing cuz ya know in every dance hype song in kpop, theres always a rap part. i love how they showcase their vocal skills more in their debut. hoping to see giselle and karina's rapping skills on their next comeback!!
@@JeffAvenue Omg! You responded to my comment WHAT... Ahaha but yes I tend to watch more reaction videos on RUclips so it's great what you do. Thank you so much . Keep up the good work. :)
I really love it!!! As an sm stan for years, I've really waited for them to debut another gg. And, Black Mamba is one of the best debut song of sm groups in sm for me. I can't wait for their next comeback where they can really showcase their positions like Giselle being a rapper. But the vocals in this is just wow, I mean they're from sm so... Ps. My thoughts on Ningning is that she's a mixture of Jennie and Joy from RV!
@@francessiu i heard rumors that aespa's concept will be like nct's? That's supposed to happen in rv but they stopped with yeri. Idk tho i wish not because honestly, sm is so bad with line distributions and handling a group with lots of members.
@@smstan579 nah they wouldn't repeat the same concept twice, SM don't do that. There are reports they'll have 7 members but no more than that, they aren't going to repeat NCT's concept, they're far too creative for that. Plus considering the AI concept it would be too difficult for SM & extremely costly for them to make AI versions of so many people. I like them as four to be honest but will still support if they end up becoming 7.

Love watching our super surprised reactions to aespa ! They have LOTS of potential and it already seems like they have debuted a while ago with the amount of maturity in their perfomances !
They said that those aespa's girls are kinda separated with their AIs( they are kinda sad to see the original) so they were saying that the spell thingy was a virus that disconnect them?
@@ryuustories I think so too. The Black Mamba might be the virus that separated the Aespa girls with their Avatars. But I really like the part of the lyrics that translates, "I'm the Aespa, there can't be two", which is open to interpretation if the Aespa girls are competing with their alters/avatars? Might be open to interpretation.
SM held back in showing all of their cards with Aespa. Winter's skills weren't shown in the teasers unlike the other 3 and in result we were very surprised to hear her beautiful voice in this mv. The same tactics go as well with Giselle, wherein she's the main rapper yet SM gave her vocal parts. Comparing to what Giselle showed on her teaser, this one is more on the vocals. A classic SM strategy. This would keep us on the edge of our seats to wait and expect banger songs in the future.
I really liked the song but I won't say that it was super impressive. For the MV, the visuals were really stunning and the choreo looks amazing, the leg dance really remind me of SNSD's The Boys from 2011. Overall I really liked them and their vocals are on point!! Plus I hope the next song will have a rap part for Giselle to show her rapping because she really slayed in her teaser. Thank you for your reaction!
What i always liked about SM's debut songs is the lyrics. Black Mamba is an introduction to their concept, previously Red Velvet debuted with Happiness and the lyrics have a great meaning to it too. NCT's 7th sense and Without You, both are amazing songs too. The very iconic Into The New World by SNSD also has a very inspiring lyrics! I loved the debut!
IKR? I just discovered them today (though I have an idea before. My friends shared something about Aespa having a virtual members) and I love them now! That drop killed me. Asdasd--!!
I'm loving this debut group. It's been a while since SM debuted a girl group, so I was really pumped! I just subscribed, btw. Discovered your Lili Film reaction videos yesterday and I found it funny and very informative. :)
U mean more of y'll boy grps.. Well u should Stan SM idol esp girlgrps like RV and aespa they are creepy esp RV in MV but when you try to look their album as in whole album their whole b-sides songs are amazing esp when u Stan a true vocals and those genra, runs, flows, everything that quality of music are in their girl grps ....now that aespa is added to their family sure album songs is so great coz their vocals is lit. SM are known for kings and queens of b-sides songs esp their whole album songs.
Oke thing about what i really like about this group is THE SYNCHRONIZATION! Their move are in sync! And that's so satsifying to watch. That's why your reaction is so anticipated Jeff haha But i have to disagree about the AI concept. It's SM, hahaha. SM always make something new, and now it's Aespa with Avatar concept. That's fresh in KPop and that's what make aespa different. Same went with NCT concept which so different with other KPop groups. Thank you for reacting to this Jeff!
OKAY SM DROP ANOTHER BANGER THAT WE NEED TO STAN, HOW CAN YOU IGNORE ÆSPA?? THE VOCALS? CHOREO? THE BEAT? VISUALS? CONCEPT? LYRICS?? ÆSPA IS FIRE, SM GOT US. WHAT A STRONG CONCEPT, THE PRODUCTION IS SO SICK 🔥 I NOTICED IT TOO, NINGNING IS LOOKS LOL CHUNGHA AND JENNIE HAHAHA "I CAN'T WAIT TO THE DANCE PRACTICE VIDEO" SAME SIR
Hi Jeff. I just discovered your channel and I must say that I love your comments and information about the choreography. Some recommendations that I wanted to make are CLC and BOA, they are queens in dance and they have that coordination that I saw that you like. AESPA is a developing group, but what I have seen has impressed me as well.
It kind took me a while to like the song but its a good debut!! THE MV IS BEAUTFIUL and also has u know it has rookie(rv) querky and power(exo) color vibes
SM has the best artist periodt. they have the best training system in kpop so no wonder all of their artist can sing , dance and rap like they're ready to debut with skill not just with the visual we can see with dancer/rapper in a group they can sing too , so they don't have any excuse like 'they're not in vocal position so it's okay if they can't sing' they have skill and visual so it's perfect. it's not just about "a big agency" but it's also about TALENT.
Thank you for your reaction. The group's name, aespa, is a combination of "ae" composed of the English initials of Avatar and Experience (Avatar X Experience), plus the English word "aspect" meaning "two sides", which symbolizes "meeting another self and experiencing new the world". For debut song. Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a species of highly venomous snake. Description for aespa's debut song : Story of adventures unrolled upon the realization that 'Black Mamba’ is a threatening existent to the world and a hindrance to the connection of aespa & 'ae', their avatars. You can see in the MV, suddenly black mamba came to their world. And then karina's eyes change, I think its like their poisoned. And after that ae-Karina seems so sad looking to karina and ae-Winter dissappear in the mirror. And finally they fight back. There is a lot of new word came from aespa concept : MY - our fandom name SYNK - the connection b/n the members and the aes REKALL - the time the members spend with the aes FLAT - the place where the members could co-exist with their aes NAVI - guide/system that connects the girls and aes KWANGYA - the place where the aes live From here this word explanation twitter.com/winterdiors/status/1328415437046988800?s=19 That 'thing' in the end of video, she appeared in MY KARINA with ae-Karina, and in the TV at their photo teaser too. Maybe she is ae-Black Mamba? Or maybe new member in the future. I dont know. Have you watch their individual teaser in aespa official channel? If not yet I hope you check it. Thank you. 🙏
Hi Jeff! As a vocalist, I suggest the "ring" in their voice that you talked about is a very devoted resonance, that gives it a nice clean texture. It is very easy to project and doesn't hinder their body movement to enable such choreo
The thing about this song, is when I listened to it I knew it was a grower for me. But when bridges are good on a song, I tend to like it more. And BLACK MAMBA'S bridge was *chef's kiss*

Some people theorize that this is more of a concept song than anything (similar to EXO MAMA) because of the amount of references to their avatars. I think that makes sense, but also I just like the song and for some reason lots of people are disappointed 🤷🏻♀️
I think it's because some people (including me) had really high expectations for a debut song. The song isn't bad but it's pretty generic and not really memorable as a debut song (EXOs MAMA and Red Velvets Happiness are examples of memorable debut songs imo). Everyone has their own preferences tho!
Coming from SM,the SM stans wanted an sm debut song like how exo mama,shinee replay,snsd world,rv happiness, nct 7sence so yes it was epic just like all other Sm groups but the song was really generic coming from SM but if we think this does not feel like a debut but a comeback, even if I don't stan this group they are just as talented as other SM groups so hope people do give aespa a chance and don't hate people based on groundless rumours
hahaha for some reason i rlly like the song too, like i can hear how its more generic but i still rlly like it hehe
But come to think of it, is this could be SM's trick? To pull off a not so experimental song for aespa in order to still be consistent to their act of not releasing familiar debut songs? Idk but I am feeling this song for sure. I do understand other people's reactions tho.
@@michaelmaro1962 hmm that's an interesting theory. Honestly we would have to wait for their new boy group to debut to see about that. It's supposed to happen in 2021 so we'll see soon
I'm seriously just obsessed with the dance and am SO excited to see the full one on stage or dance practice!! The line distribution is also incredibly fair which doesn't happen very often especially for a debut, and ofcourse the MV and song? INSANE. The girls are so talented aswell, all of them stood out to me. There already are some haters cause of the Avatars that the girls have, but hopefully they won't see those and just get overwhelmed with the new fans and how great they are! Seriously hope they get a win, cause this song is addictive and imo the best SM debut, they put a LOT into this debut, and it's the first time I've fallen in love with an SM group immediately from day 1. I love SM but most groups took me a while to get into, this? This speaks to my soul haha!
True. This is the first debut song of SM group that i immediatly like
Yeahh, the first SM song in a long time with a fair line distribution
Ningning is the name of the girl you mentioned as the "child" of Chungha and Jennie. She's part of the OG SM Rookies and she's a '02 liner. She's the maknae of the group and the Chinese member. Like Chenle, she also had a music background back in China (she has participated in singing shows there).
I am so happy that Ningning has finally debuted. It's kinda sad to see her without the other og girl sm rookies but I'm also looking forward to aespa's performances.
Its like a group with four seulgis. The vocals and the dance. I am overwhelmed
And Taeyeon vocal haha. I love their vocal blend and solo
Omg true
omg thats so accurate 😭 i agree
F o u r S e u l g i s !
This is the most epic debut song + mv I've ever watch like I kept repeating this song for quite a unhealthy amount of times.
the way jeff went “wtf” 😂 i luv the girls so much and ningning’s highnote is my fav ✨
You're not aloneee... ningning got me tooo🤧
That was Boa at the end xD, this SM culture universe is hinting at the comebacks of the rest of their artists at the end of MVs now
Wonder when they will hint shinee comeback.. maybe at the end of boa's mv 😅
@@mtnk096 I'll pass out hahaha
@@mtnk096 well they are already complete, but wait I don't think I will be that ready. But I wish
@@mtnk096 maybe after Kai’ solo
Is it weird that I think that the guy being made by all the ooze is Kai, referring to his debut. For some reason it reminds me a little bit of some of his teasers.
Love your take on this!
Black mamba MV reversed ruclips.net/video/nA5ASJ5J_lI/видео.html
i want so badly to see the dance practice and them singing it live. that bridge with winter & ningning + ningning's high note will kill me. also, imagine how many bruises they'll get on their knees with so many floor choreo? how they gonna manage to breath and sing properly while getting down so many times? sm didn't take easy on them. so excited for their future!
Just wanna see ningning's live vocals too cause damn that bridge is lit
That girl that looks like a mixture of Chungha and Jennie is NINGNING. She's can actually pass as Jennie's twin

SM groups always had this storyline and connected every comeback and now SM has announced the start of SMCU (SM Cinematic Universe i guess?). It will begin with Aespa and continue through groups like EXO, RED VELVET, NCT etc. While the stories/universe of each groups will unfold individually they will somehow intertwine and connect with each other to create new stories.
Which is why we can see aespa's logo on superm's 'One' mv, the train scene in nct u's 'MAW' ending, and now BoA at the end of aespa's 'black mamba' ending.
SMCU means SM Cultural Universe i think
"I can't wait for the dance practice"
Well... we know SM'S track record for giving their girl groups dance practices 😭😭
Lmao they upload exo dance practices and then delete em 💀 why are they like this? Pls just give us dance practices
@@mariumkhalid7388 true why would they do that? We will be very happy
At least these days almost all release from sm gets it , irene selugi got dance practice n also hyo dessert too. Its looking bright 😂😂
Yeah but ever since that SM has a new CEO, we got a lot of RV Monster content (Dance practice, 3 stage version and red velvet vlog) and they got better in promoting their groups.
and now we got the dance practice !!
NingNing’s and Winter’s vocals is sooooo good!!!
Winter surprised me so much! We didn't see any of her abilities in the teasers, and now the debut MV is out, bam! Girl just hit me with a truck lol
@@stephaneasio yesss, her vocals is good like a main vocalist (she could be main vocalist but NingNing’s technique is superior)
For me is Winter- the best tone and emotion
NingNing- the best technique
@@suiim_jpn I agree, winter's emotion especially at the bridge part was superb. I think Ningning's tone is also exemplary as well.
Yessss!!! I was super excited w the both of them because they sounded so cute with the Spotify introduction 🥺 AND LIKE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR WINTER EVERYWHERE BECAUSE WE HAD ALMOST NOTHING ON HER WHEN HER TEASERS DROPPED 😭😭😭
SM's vocal and visuals never dissapoint!!
THIS DEBUT IS INSANE. I did not wait it. And I know only Karina from your video. But for real, this is so EPIC
my legs hurt from watching the chorus dance too. definitely a strong debut.
Indeed. I need flexibility training haha
theres no rap parts in this song which i found very refreshing cuz ya know in every dance hype song in kpop, theres always a rap part. i love how they showcase their vocal skills more in their debut. hoping to see giselle and karina's rapping skills on their next comeback!!
Hey Jeff. Glad to know I can see your reaction of aespa on youtube.
yah im glad SM didn't block it!
@@JeffAvenue Omg! You responded to my comment WHAT... Ahaha but yes I tend to watch more reaction videos on RUclips so it's great what you do. Thank you so much . Keep up the good work. :)
I really love it!!! As an sm stan for years, I've really waited for them to debut another gg. And, Black Mamba is one of the best debut song of sm groups in sm for me. I can't wait for their next comeback where they can really showcase their positions like Giselle being a rapper. But the vocals in this is just wow, I mean they're from sm so...
Ps. My thoughts on Ningning is that she's a mixture of Jennie and Joy from RV!
I wished SM actually debuts a girl group with more members, but I guess in this way they can focus on each member properly
@@francessiu i heard rumors that aespa's concept will be like nct's? That's supposed to happen in rv but they stopped with yeri. Idk tho i wish not because honestly, sm is so bad with line distributions and handling a group with lots of members.
@@smstan579 nah they wouldn't repeat the same concept twice, SM don't do that. There are reports they'll have 7 members but no more than that, they aren't going to repeat NCT's concept, they're far too creative for that. Plus considering the AI concept it would be too difficult for SM & extremely costly for them to make AI versions of so many people. I like them as four to be honest but will still support if they end up becoming 7.

if you said ningning is a combination of chungha and jennie, i would say giselle is a combination of krystal and rose
I agree
More like Krystal and Yuri
I agree! She also sometimes looks a bit like Yuri from SNSD.
Yuhh
And Yuri
Lol Jeff sure is faaaaaast af popping out reviews left and right! Let’s apreciate this man and his hard work pls💕💕😂
Love watching our super surprised reactions to aespa !
They have LOTS of potential and it already seems like they have debuted a while ago with the amount of maturity in their perfomances !
FINALLY I was waiting for this XD Thank you for the video!
after the "spell" with the snake lady you can notice that the settings changed like they were poisoned or something idk what do u guys think?
Yeah I noticed that as well. It all started brightly, as you can tell but after the snake lady poisoned them, it started to look darker
Is karina the black mamba's daughter? Why are they together in that scene? I'm confusedddd
@@jmrpatarlas i think she's possessed?
They said that those aespa's girls are kinda separated with their AIs( they are kinda sad to see the original) so they were saying that the spell thingy was a virus that disconnect them?
@@ryuustories I think so too. The Black Mamba might be the virus that separated the Aespa girls with their Avatars.
But I really like the part of the lyrics that translates, "I'm the Aespa, there can't be two", which is open to interpretation if the Aespa girls are competing with their alters/avatars? Might be open to interpretation.
I was waiting for your reaction ever since Aespa's debut MV! Glad to see your reaction as always!!!
This concept was so different the choreography is so amazing😊
SM held back in showing all of their cards with Aespa. Winter's skills weren't shown in the teasers unlike the other 3 and in result we were very surprised to hear her beautiful voice in this mv. The same tactics go as well with Giselle, wherein she's the main rapper yet SM gave her vocal parts. Comparing to what Giselle showed on her teaser, this one is more on the vocals. A classic SM strategy.
This would keep us on the edge of our seats to wait and expect banger songs in the future.
I really liked the song but I won't say that it was super impressive. For the MV, the visuals were really stunning and the choreo looks amazing, the leg dance really remind me of SNSD's The Boys from 2011. Overall I really liked them and their vocals are on point!! Plus I hope the next song will have a rap part for Giselle to show her rapping because she really slayed in her teaser.
Thank you for your reaction!
dailyms 21 haha me too. I loved that Yuri’s part in the The Boys
Yep, we got "the 7th sense" from NCT and then this "black mamba" from AESPA
Gosh the power they hold! 🔥
What i always liked about SM's debut songs is the lyrics. Black Mamba is an introduction to their concept, previously Red Velvet debuted with Happiness and the lyrics have a great meaning to it too. NCT's 7th sense and Without You, both are amazing songs too. The very iconic Into The New World by SNSD also has a very inspiring lyrics! I loved the debut!
I love SO MUCH this debut!!! I am impressed! I'm already a stan
IKR? I just discovered them today (though I have an idea before. My friends shared something about Aespa having a virtual members) and I love them now! That drop killed me. Asdasd--!!
I was waiting for this and I can't wait for your reaction on the dance practice. I'm gonna wait for the notification from your channel.
I'm loving this debut group. It's been a while since SM debuted a girl group, so I was really pumped!
I just subscribed, btw. Discovered your Lili Film reaction videos yesterday and I found it funny and very informative. :)
I really like the song, actually is the first time i'm stanning a gg
Me too
U mean more of y'll boy grps.. Well u should Stan SM idol esp girlgrps like RV and aespa they are creepy esp RV in MV but when you try to look their album as in whole album their whole b-sides songs are amazing esp when u Stan a true vocals and those genra, runs, flows, everything that quality of music are in their girl grps ....now that aespa is added to their family sure album songs is so great coz their vocals is lit. SM are known for kings and queens of b-sides songs esp their whole album songs.
Me too
I got you, it was the same thing fr me when I met Blackpink, guess I found another obsession
Oke thing about what i really like about this group is THE SYNCHRONIZATION! Their move are in sync! And that's so satsifying to watch. That's why your reaction is so anticipated Jeff haha
But i have to disagree about the AI concept. It's SM, hahaha. SM always make something new, and now it's Aespa with Avatar concept. That's fresh in KPop and that's what make aespa different.
Same went with NCT concept which so different with other KPop groups.
Thank you for reacting to this Jeff!
I've been waiting for your reaction to this!! Really enjoyed watching your reaction videos
Been waiting for this. Thank you.
OKAY SM DROP ANOTHER BANGER THAT WE NEED TO STAN, HOW CAN YOU IGNORE ÆSPA?? THE VOCALS? CHOREO? THE BEAT? VISUALS? CONCEPT? LYRICS?? ÆSPA IS FIRE, SM GOT US.
WHAT A STRONG CONCEPT, THE PRODUCTION IS SO SICK 🔥
I NOTICED IT TOO, NINGNING IS LOOKS LOL CHUNGHA AND JENNIE HAHAHA
"I CAN'T WAIT TO THE DANCE PRACTICE VIDEO" SAME SIR
Your reaction was so good and very nice to watch, thanks!
I enjoyed this video you're reaction is just pure gold especially with the leg split lmao yea I'm subscribing
Binge watching these reactions is so fun and addicting since we get to hear people’s insight about the mv
For a debut... I was really surprised and impressed ! This is good ! Love it
IM SUPPOSED TO BE STREAMING RN AND NOT WATCH REACTION VIDEOS WITHIN THE FIRST 24 HRS BUT ITS JEFF SO 😭
Remember when Seulgi said that SM has many good training activities that she really like when they were guest in Weekly idol
Hi Jeff. I just discovered your channel and I must say that I love your comments and information about the choreography.
Some recommendations that I wanted to make are CLC and BOA, they are queens in dance and they have that coordination that I saw that you like.
AESPA is a developing group, but what I have seen has impressed me as well.
Was waiting for your reaction as always, love your reactions💚
THIS IS THE MOST FUN REACTION I'VE WATCHED IN A WHILE
"I love the Emotional tone - pertaining to winter". Me too 😁💕
I'm always looking forward for your reaction. Part of my routine everytime my favs drop their mv.
💞
Always love your reaction jeffy!!!!
It kind took me a while to like the song but its a good debut!!
THE MV IS BEAUTFIUL and also has u know it has rookie(rv) querky and power(exo) color vibes
I always love ur reaction in every sm group
"I can't wait for the dance practice" bruh I wish there's a dance practice because most sm gg's only have a very few dance practice videos :(
SM has the best artist periodt. they have the best training system in kpop so no wonder all of their artist can sing , dance and rap like they're ready to debut with skill not just with the visual we can see with dancer/rapper in a group they can sing too , so they don't have any excuse like 'they're not in vocal position so it's okay if they can't sing' they have skill and visual so it's perfect. it's not just about "a big agency" but it's also about TALENT.
I REALLY like it tbh
I've been listening to it all day.
I can't wait for the live performance.
Thank you for your reaction.
The group's name, aespa, is a combination of "ae" composed of the English initials of Avatar and Experience (Avatar X Experience), plus the English word "aspect" meaning "two sides", which symbolizes "meeting another self and experiencing new the world".
For debut song.
Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a species of highly venomous snake.
Description for aespa's debut song :
Story of adventures unrolled upon the realization that 'Black Mamba’ is a threatening existent to the world and a hindrance to the connection of aespa & 'ae', their avatars.
You can see in the MV, suddenly black mamba came to their world. And then karina's eyes change, I think its like their poisoned. And after that ae-Karina seems so sad looking to karina and ae-Winter dissappear in the mirror. And finally they fight back.
There is a lot of new word came from aespa concept :
MY - our fandom name
SYNK - the connection b/n the members and the aes
REKALL - the time the members spend with the aes
FLAT - the place where the members could co-exist with their aes
NAVI - guide/system that connects the girls and aes
KWANGYA - the place where the aes live
From here this word explanation twitter.com/winterdiors/status/1328415437046988800?s=19
That 'thing' in the end of video, she appeared in MY KARINA with ae-Karina, and in the TV at their photo teaser too. Maybe she is ae-Black Mamba? Or maybe new member in the future. I dont know.
Have you watch their individual teaser in aespa official channel? If not yet I hope you check it.
Thank you. 🙏
Hi Jeff! As a vocalist, I suggest the "ring" in their voice that you talked about is a very devoted resonance, that gives it a nice clean texture. It is very easy to project and doesn't hinder their body movement to enable such choreo
Long, hard training paid off. They are coming strong with that debut. Can't wait to see more...
I've been waiting for your reaction!!!
The thing about this song, is when I listened to it I knew it was a grower for me. But when bridges are good on a song, I tend to like it more. And BLACK MAMBA'S bridge was *chef's kiss*
Finally! I've been waiting for this!!!!
I enjoy your new cinematography! 💚
omygodd!! i love your reactions sm ^_^
Hi Jeff!! They have a performance video or some sort on Thursday!! Look forward to it!!!!
I really love your reaction. All your Technical comments are very interesting. Just yo let you now Sm posted their dance practice video.
"that's a very emotional tone i love her" - jeff to winter

HAHAHAHAHAH i relate to that "my legs hurt because of that"😂😂 We have the same reaction when i first saw the music video😂😂
I am so excited for their live appearance in music shows!
Karina is so expressive. Her stage presence is amazing.
I love how Jeff never judges openly he’s so nice with his words 🥺
Was abt to sleep then u drop this ♡♡♡
I’m so excited for the dance practice of Black Mamba!!! I remember reading some tweets saying that if they dropped Black Mamba earlier we could’ve gotten a Halloween Dance Practice 😭😭😭
I love how you're not annoying in reacting to videos hahahah

It’s actually their new concept. They are the first group with avatar characters for every member. They will also launch some online platform for fans to interact with the girls. That’s why they have those AI.
I always trust you with these reactions Jeff
even the rapper could sing well damn they kinda reminds me of mamamoo
IVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST
I was waiting for someone to notice the way they walk in the intro. That was really chic!
This is Punch 2.0.. U cant catch at first.. But the more u hear the more get hype.. Its have that hook.. That's how they caught me with the bass at the intro.. I love this already
I love the beat drop
