Many people are not satisfied with the news that aespa is the first girl group in Kpop to perform at the Coachella stage, so what is the truth?

On April 19, aespa's representative in the US confirmed that the SM girl group will be performing on the second weekend of the 2022 Coachella Arts and Music Festival.

Immediately, many Korean media suddenly reported that aespa was the first girl group to perform on the main stage at the Coachella event. However, this information made many fans angry, and immediately controversy broke out all over MXH. Netizens believe that aespa is not the first girl group to perform on the main stage at Coachella. Before aespa, 2 YG groups, BLACKPINK and 2NE1 were also invited to perform here.

BLINKs also think that BLACKPINK is the first Kpop girl group to perform at the main stage of Coachella. And yet, even the CEO of the show personally went to Korea to invite the group to attend. From this series of articles, fans of two popular girl groups suddenly argued and fought fiercely.

And the answer has been answered when recently, aespa answered Billboard and said that the group was on the surprise guest list for the second week of 88Rising's Head In The Clouds Forever Concert series. Previously, 88Rising also invited many K-pop artists such as 2NE1, Jackson (GOT7), Yoon Mi Rae, etc. So aespa is not the first Kpop girl group to perform at the hit Coachella festival.

It is known that aespa will perform the English version of the new song "Lifes Too Short" alongside a series of hits like Next Level, Savage. The group will also have more global promotions this year.

It can be said that the news that aespa became the 3rd girl group to perform at the Coachella 2022 music festival has made fans extremely proud. However, netizens also expressed concern about the ability of the 4 SM girls to live when they were exposed many times for lip-syncing in the West.

Since the comeback with Savage, aespa has often been screened for lip-syncing when performing on large and small stages. At the end of 2021, SM's rookie girl group also embarrassed fans by revealingly lip-syncing when performing in the West on The Nick Cannon Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show or Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.

One of the reasons why aespa was discovered lip-syncing by viewers was due to the excessive "honesty" of NingNing - the main vocal of the group. Whether in the low or highnote range, NingNing always "sings" softly, his face doesn't change color, even if the mic is dropped, he still plays well as if he has no intention of hiding the fact that the group doesn't sing live.

Aespa's hits all have heavy choreography as well as many high notes. Therefore, many people question that aespa will again... lip-sync at Coachella 2022 to make the performance as round as possible.

aespa is currently SM's main "pet chicken" and possesses a lot of potential to become the leading girl group in the new generation of music. In just 1 short year, the group went from the position of a rookie marketer no less than IVE to the top girl group thanks to "unprecedented" records, surpassing many famous seniors.

Everyone can clearly see that the fate of the 4 girls changed dramatically after the hit Next Level, but that must not be the only factor that makes aespa successful. The group has no flaws but is perfect from concept, visual to music quality. In particular, the personal reputation of the duo Karina - Winter is said to be the catalyst that helps the name aespa quickly come closer to the public.

After the hit "Next Level", SM brought aespa to "win-win" with their debut album Savage. Accordingly, the group continued to achieve impressive achievements. Another reason for aespa's rapid rise is that the group has almost no formidable opponent in the way. At the time of debut, although there were some market problems, in general, aespa's future was quite "open". Aespa's plagiarism and badmouthing of seniors when they just debuted, isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can also be a gimmick to help people get to know aespa more, and a "stepping stone" for the group's promotional strategy.

However, there are still many opinions that "cà khà" aespa is just a "copy product" of BLACKPINK, never as good as the original. In addition, someone also repeated the "smack" of slandering the BTS senior of the group leader Karina before their debut to criticize aespa for "ke fame", deliberately going up from the scandal.
