G-DRAGON Enters aespa's Universe…New Song 'WDA' Unveiled

The group aespa (aespa) has teamed up with G-DRAGON (G-Dragon) to kick off their comeback for their second full-length album. aespa will release the pre-release single from their second full-length album, 'WDA (Whole Different Animal)', at 6 PM on the 11th across various online music platforms.

The new track 'WDA' is a hip-hop-based dance song highlighted by majestic synth bass and a heavy hook. In particular, music icon G-Dragon not only features on the track but also personally took part in writing his rap sections, creating a powerful musical synergy with aespa. The lyrics, which showcase aespa's stronger artistic growth, foreshadow a new chapter in their universe and are drawing the attention of global music fans.

The music video, released simultaneously with the song, also boasts a striking narrative. Set in an era where the boundary between reality and the digital is blurred, unfamiliar beings bearing aespa's faces appear and create chaos. aespa expresses, through sensuous visuals, the process of breaking through the rift known as 'Complaexity' on their own and proving their true existence amid such collisions.

Since their debut, aespa has built a unique universe that coexists with the virtual selves 'ae-aespa', and through this new song they pose the philosophical question, 'What is real?' They sharply address the unsettling sensation of originals and copies coexisting in modern society, adding depth to their message.

To ramp up excitement for the comeback, aespa will host a countdown live on their official YouTube and TikTok channels starting at 5 PM on the 11th, one hour before the song release. They will communicate in real time with fans around the world and share a variety of stories, including behind-the-scenes details of the new song's production.

Meanwhile, all tracks from aespa's second full-length album 'LEMONADE', along with the physical album, will be officially released at 1 PM on the 29th.
