On the other hand, aespa’s 3rd mini album, “MY WORLD”, is an album that commences the 2nd season of the SMCU aespa universe. Through the latest comeback, one can experience aespa’s new musical world, performances, and fashion, which is transitioning from KWANGYA to the REAL WORLD.

The album, including the title song “Spicy”, consists of a total of 6 songs of various genres and is receiving great love as it sweeps through both domestic and global charts. It is also the first album where aespa drastically changed their image from warrior women to high-teen girls.

At the same time, many believe this transition to be the cause of recent praises surrounding aespa, leaving comments such as, “I knew it would be a hit if they left Kwangya, and it really exploded”, and “I knew it would do well from the start”.
