On the occasion of aespa’s third debut anniversary on November 17, the group continues to make significant strides in the K-pop industry.

Notably, aespa is celebrated not only for their musical prowess but also for their unique avatars, incorporating the metaverse concept.
Adding to their list of achievements, aespa’s latest mini-album, “Drama,” has been dominating charts in China.
