Recently, a topic about “almost aespa’s member” has attracted great attention on Pann. These are all trainees of the SM girl group project but were gradually eliminated after many years of training. There was a case that caused regret because she passed the SM audition but joined JYP, it was NMIXX‘s Sullyoon. The common point of the girls who almost debut with aespa is their outstanding beauty. Knet thinks that if some of these faces were in the  aespa lineup, the group would have continued the tradition of SM’s top visuals!

Lami
Lami is a famous trainee in the SM Rookies project. Lami is the most regrettable case when she owns a clear visual in line with SM’s taste. Lami went through many years of training, was expected to debut with aespa, but in the end left at the end of 2019
Lami
Lami is said to be quite similar to Sulli from her appearance to her acting experience since childhood
Xu Yiyang
Xu Yi Yang is also in the SM Rookies lineup. She was first introduced in 2016 and left SM in 2018
Chaehyun
Chaehyun was a trainee under SM Entertainment for a period of 4 years. Currently, she has debuted in the group KEP1ER – the girl group that came out of the show Girls Planet 999
Choi Hyo Ju

Goeun
Goeun was also introduced in the SM Rookies lineup, but left the company in 2020 after 5 years of training.
Sullyoon
Sullyoon (NMIXX) was mentioned on the list because she passed the SM audition around 2018-2019. Some rumors say that Sullyoon used to be an SM trainee but it hasn’t been confirmed

Some comments of Knets:

– But I have to admit that the trainees who left SM are very pretty.

– I still don’t understand why SM debuted Giselle anymore.

– Lami, Goeun, Hina… These are all the quality trainees that SM missed.

– If Lami and Sullyoon debuted in aespa’s girl group, I can’t imagine how hot the group would be.

-But Sullyoon is not an SM trainee. Putting it on this list is a bit odd.

-Even though aespa isn’t as pretty as SM’s tradition, they match the company’s concept.

– What a pity. Yoona, Irene… could have had junior successors.

aespa
Since their debut, aespa has often caused controversy because their beauty is not “SM’s taste”.
