aespa’s teaser is once again compared to BLACKPINK: How will Korean netizens react this time?

Many times there are comments that aespa’s image is similar to BLACKPINK’s, but not every time that opinion has been agreed by netizens.

aespa will make their comeback on October 5 at 6 p.m. (KST) with their first mini-album, ‘Savage.’ This album will feature six songs of various genres, including the title track, which is also titled ‘Savage.’ The group is currently “warming up” by releasing concept photos and videos in preparation for their return.

Each set of teaser photos released by the group became a hot topic, with many people complimenting the members’ visuals as well as the unique concept. However, aespa is frequently compared to the senior group BLACKPINK, possibly due to their similar unique concepts and four-member lineup.

A Knet recently continues to have a post on a Korean online forum saying that aespa’s ‘Hallucination Quest’ teaser pictures are conceptually similar to BLACKPINK’s ‘How You Like That’ series of teaser photos. The owner of this article believes the similarities are the use of blue backgrounds and ‘the end of century’ vibes.

Previously, aespa had sparked debate because it was said to be following the concept of BLACKPINK, and was even indirectly recognized by SM as ‘the new BLACKPINK. Many netizens recently claimed that aespa’s new image when performing live at ‘INK Concert 2021’ is reminiscent of BLACKPINK’s techwear outfits from the ‘Kill This Love’ era.

However, many Knets believe that it is ridiculous to claim that aespa’s “Hallucination Quest” photo is a “copy” of BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That” photo as said the concept of aespa is completely unrelated to BLACKPINK.

Some comments from Knets:

  • Aespa’s concept is unique~~ Why do you guys keep tying the two groups together..
  • Why do you guys keep saying that Aespa is imitating BLACKPINK? It’s not the same at all
  • I really don’t understand how the two groups are compared with this concept… The only thing that overlaps is that there are 4 members…? I don’t know why you guys keep comparing them even though they have nothing in common… BLACKPINK is BLACKPINK, AESPA is AESPA… I don’t see anything similar from those concept photosㅋㅋ
  • Hul, I think that’s the most contradictory out of all the plagiarism allegations I’ve seen (for reference, I like both groups..)
  • Both groups have unique concepts, I don’t feel Aespa is copying BLACKPINK at all… They are just girl groups from big agencies with the smell of money..
  • It’s not like Aespa’s concept overlaps with BLACKPINK’s, both are perfect
  • I’m a BLACKPINK fan and I disagree with this post
  • BLACKPINK fans have never talked about this. Please stop mentioning it..
  • I don’t know, except that both groups are pretty
  • Is this noisy marketing?ㅋㅋ
