Some fans defended AespaThe unique trajectory, citing their first success with successes such as Next level, AttackAND Spicytogether with their distinct Metaverse concept and vocal performance skills. Others wondered if the buzz around Newjeans He helped to remodel the public interest for groups of girls, for the benefit so indirectly of their peers, also Aespa.

CNG comments:

1. “Aespa became fame because they deserved it, point. If they were just going well thanks to the Newjeans, then the other Hybe-Ci idols would not have to do that they were unjustly neglected after the decline of the Newjeans-Son even more level like the APA?
2. “If Aespa really” won the lottery “thanks to Newjeans, then why didn’t Hybe jumped Hybe as Aespa now that Newjeans has floppit?”
3. “Look, like Bang Si-Hyuk he always seemed to want to crush the Aespa. It is clear that they have always been seen as a threat of Bang and his crew by Hapcheon. Not that they have ever succeeded.”
4. “Aespa has always been of a high level. Then and now. Hapcheon’s crew has never been able to break them down.”
5. “From their debut, Aespa has never been in the highest level.”

While both groups continue to trace their paths, the conversation reveals how deeply competitive narratives It still models the speech online and the way in which the success in K-Pop often becomes a shot on the public rope on perception, not only on talent.
