SEOUL, Might 8 (Yonhap) — Ok-pop lady group aespa has expanded its fictional universe from the cyberpunk metaverse to the “real world” for the band’s third EP “My World.”
The group — consisting of Ningning, Winter, Giselle and Karina — dropped the album marking the band’s first launch in 10 months at 6 p.m. Monday.
“My World” is the opener of the second season of aespa’s fictional lore about their battle in opposition to the villainous character of Black Mamba — who disturbs the 4 stars’ reference to their “ae” avatar counterparts that exist in a fantastical metaverse and threatens to destroy the digital world.
The members take down the enemy with the assistance of their synthetic intelligence information named Naevis in “Girls,” the ultimate episode of aespa’s “SM Culture Universe” Season 1. The universe is shared by Ok-pop powerhouse SM Leisure’s metaverse content material.
“In the previous season, we mostly told stories of beating Black Mamba in Kwangya, but this album tells what’s happening after we returned to the real world,” member Winter mentioned throughout a press convention in southern Seoul on Monday, referring to the Korean phrase which means “wilderness.”
