Oh my goodness as much as I love them. They are literally the worst SM girl group to EVER debut. The concept alone is trash. Giselle shouldn't have debuted. Yes, she is probably the best female rapper in the company but it's clear the girl doesn't care too much for the idol life (but who can blame her? It's garbage).
ALSO also, SM isn't known for having groups with crazy good stage presence but at the same time, they do have standouts in almost every group but omfg. I love Ningning but even SHE cannot carry the whole group with her presence alone. Also, I'm so sad that Karina is the main dancer, she isn't that good so as a result there really isn't anything to write home about in regards to aespa except for the rapping. BUT their main rapper also can't hold her own in anything other than singing. She just isn't an idol.
aespa as a whole seems like a crazy step down for SM in almost every aspect. Except for the vocals and the rapping BUT they don't outshine any of their previous groups with the vocals either. They just are missing something and feel like they were rushed to debut, SM didn't seem to try for making them stand out.
THEY INFURIATE ME EVEN THOUGH I WANT TO SUPPORT AND LOVE THEM.
(I mainly just adore Ningning and Winter).
