aespa gives fans an exciting preview of his upcoming album LEMONADE with the release of a new dance practice video for the song “WDA (Whole Different Animal).”
The video, released on May 13, highlights the group’s sharp choreography, strong stage presence and detailed formations ahead of the album’s official launch later this month. The performance video offers a clear and comprehensive look at all four members as they move through the song’s fast-paced choreography alongside backup dancers, Soompi reported.
Known for fusing futuristic concepts with powerful performances, aespa once again relied on bold moves and synchronized routines that matched the song’s intense energy.
“WDA (Whole Different Animal)” also features BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, adding even more attention to the release. His rap verse appears during the third section of the song and brings a hip-hop feel to the bass-heavy dance track.
The song mixes English and Korean lyrics building around a strong electronic beat. Throughout the track, repeated lines like “She a Fully Different Animal” help create the confident, energetic vibe that both the music and choreography convey.

According to Billboard, the release marks the beginning of a new chapter for aespa as the group prepares for its second full-length studio album, LEMONADEwhich should arrive on May 29th.
