aespa revealed many defects, "showing true form" as immature children when acting with SNSD?

In the new generation of g.irl groups, aespa is the brightest name today, achieving a series of great achievements in 2021.

As a g.irl group from SM, aespa is expected to continue to "make things" in the future. However, after the year-end performances, along with Karina - Winter participating in the g.irl group project Girls On Top with SNSD, Red Velvet and BoA seniors, it seems that aespa has revealed more and more shortcomings. It is the expectation of the new generation of SM, but aespa will have to work harder to reach the level of SNSD's "legend".

Recently, the Step Back stage of Girls On Top (GOT the beat) at the SM concert attracted the attention of many fans. Fans are full of praise for the top-notch visual combo, "real price" vocals of SM's "selected" female idols.

However, there are also opinions that Karina and Winter are completely overwhelmed by the seniors. When appearing in the same frame with Taeyeon, BoA, Seulgi, Wendy and Hyoyeon, the two aespa members clearly showed the immaturity of rookies. SNSD members proved their "big sister" class, "the older the ginger, the more spicy", the new generation of juniors in the same company. Karina and Winter were also "looked at" for their "superficial" lip-syncing mouths, without any heart, just like moving their lips to make them cry?

Earlier in the dance video Dreams Come True performed with Hyoyeon (SNSD), aespa's Karina was also disappointing because her dancing skills were completely inferior to her seniors. Although she is the main dancer, Karina's way of performing her movements clearly reveals her clumsy and cumbersome shortcomings, looking at Hyoyeon is really "a heaven and an abyss"!

During the a.ward ceremonies at the end of 2021, aespa was constantly criticized for r.evealing lip-syncing, lack of stage performance, and performing at big events like performing at a weekend music show. Netizens question why aespa is constantly lipsyncing, even though he can sing live? Even aespa was ridiculed for "fake lips", on highnote but "sober face" is unbelievable.

It is undeniable that aespa is SM's "battle chicken" in the Kpop Gen 4 race. The group has a lot of potential for further success, especially after the 2021 viral hit Next Level. However, if they want aespa to be able to reach the level of "girl group boss" like SNSD did during the peak of Kpop Gen 2, it seems that the rookie SM girls will have to prove more. Everything up to this point is still not enough.

Thanks to their great performance in 2021, aespa is currently the leading g.irl group in the Gen 4 race. However, it seems that the popularity among the members is uneven. After they performed at the 2021 SBS Gayo Daejeon festival, Korean netizens discovered that Karina and Winter's S.avage stage fancam had high views, while Giselle and NingNing had far fewer views.

Specifically, the fancam Winter performed S.avage in the lead with 270 thousand views after 2 days of broadcasting. Second place is Karina (235 thousand views). NingNing received 43 thousand views, and Giselle "lost" when her fancam only reached 36 thousand views.

Fancam views partly reflect the popularity of idols. Therefore, the above difference makes some people wonder if aespa has more fans only (who only likes 1 member) than fans of the whole group, so some people have high fancam views, others are inferior Teammates a lot?

In fact, Karina and Winter are the two most popular members of aespa. In the December 2021 female idol brand rankings, Winter ranked 2nd, Karina ranked 4th. Giselle ranked 7th, and NingNing ranked 11th - the lowest in the group. However, many people believe that fancam views reflect the level of interest that the public has for aespa members rather than the difference in fan base. The group has just debuted for more than 1 year, it is difficult for many fans to "crush" the group's fans.

Winter and Karina are the most popular so people search and watch their fancams a lot more, they're also Korean, so it's easy to win Knet's hearts. As for NingNing and Giselle, they are foreigners, so they get less attention.

Knet commented:

- The public knows no one but Karina and Winter.

- I think this is just a reaction of the public.

- Even the moderator, the person who posted this post only watched Karina and Winter's videos. aespa doesn't have many fans yet so I don't think their fandom is divided, but the public is different.

- Half of the members are foreigners, so they give more love to the Korean members.

-Giselle and NingNing are not the type of idols that the public likes.

- Koreans don't care about Chinese stars.

-I'm also aespa fan, but to be honest, I only watch Winter's videos

BLACKPINK is not as angry as SNSD, BTS and the "face-slapping" with the "keyboard heroes" Duyên Trần19:33:37 11/02/2022Not long ago, Cnet once caused controversy when bluntly accepting Hanbok as a traditional Chinese costume. This absurd action made Knet angry, causing a "key scratch war" between netizens of the two countries. Already on the face of such displeasure, the China-biased scandal at...
