What is the K-pop group Aespa?

Aespa is a Korean girl idol group that debuted last year with its first album “Black Mamba.” The group is backed by SM Entertainment, the same label company behind some of the biggest K-pop groups such as Super Junior, Girls Generation, EXO, NCT, and Red Velvet. The official Instagram page of Aespa is currently at 5.2 million followers with over three million listeners on its Spotify albums.

The members are Yu Ji Min, Uchinaga Aeri, Kim Min Jeong, and Ning Yizhuo.
