Aespa Brings the ‘Drama’ with Their Mood Sampler for Upcoming Album

K-pop girl group Aespa just dropped the mood sampler for their fourth mini album Drama. Following the success of their previous hits, the girls of Aespa are bringing new tracks to their precious MYs (Aespa’s fandom name). The mood sampler for the mini album feels dark and intense, more so than the funky high-school themes of ‘Spicy’ or the tech-heavy bass beats of ‘Next Level’. Drama teased us with a more powerful charisma from Aespa, after releasing concept images for each of the girls over the last two weeks.

The group recently released ‘Better Things’ in August this year, their first official English single, along with a dance remix of the song by LDN Noise that just dropped on October 27. ‘Better Things’, which featured a three-episode web series with Aespa, is set to be included on Drama as well.

Members Karina, Winter, Ning Ning and Giselle first walked onto the K-pop scene in 2020, marking their debut with the single ‘Black Mamba’. In the three short years since their debut, the quartet has had a meteoric rise to the top of K-pop. Aespa became the first Korean girl group to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2021 atop a float celebrating women in STEM. They then performed at Coachella in 2022 as the third K-pop girl group to take the stage at the renowned festival, after Blackpink and 2NE1. Earlier this year, Aespa also attended the 2023 Cannes Film Festival with Chopard, for the Swiss brand’s annual Dinner and Love Party.
