The visual transformation comes as aespa prepares for one of its biggest comebacks. The group will release its second full-length album LEMONADE on May 29 at 1pm KST as they continue to expand their presence in the global music market.
Before the album launch, aespa will release the pre-release single first “WDA (Completely Different Animal)” on May 11, officially kicking off the return countdown.
