Get ready to blast off into KWANGYA again—aespa is officially making their long-awaited return this June!

On May 15 KST, SM Entertainment confirmed that the powerhouse girl group is currently deep in preparations for their next comeback, with plans to drop new music next month. This marks their first Korean comeback in approximately 8 months since their bold and edgy 5th mini album, Whiplash, had us all spiraling into their high-octane, hyper-futuristic world.

While specific details about the concept or title track haven’t been revealed just yet, fans—aka MYs—are already buzzing with theories. Will it be a return to the darker Savage energy? Or will they continue the slick, experimental sound that defined Drama and Spicy? Either way, knowing aespa, it's bound to be another game-changing release.

And let’s not forget: the girls have been booked and busy! Between global brand deals, viral performances, and solo appearances (Karina's recent duet with Jannabi still lives rent-free in our heads), aespa has continued to expand their influence both in Korea and internationally. With their fierce visuals, genre-bending music, and rich lore, they’ve carved out a unique space in the K-pop landscape—and this comeback is expected to take things even further.

With June fast approaching, one thing’s for sure: aespa season is back, and it's about to be next level.

Stay tuned for teasers, tracklists, and comeback content that’s sure to shake the timeline.
