aespa unveil four brand new solo tracks from each member

KARINA’s solo song "UP" is a hip-hop dance track, on which she wrote all of the lyrics, meanwhile "Dopamine", the R&B mid-tempo by GISELLE was co-written with Shintaro Yasuda, who also produced the track, and worked on Ariana Grande’s eternal sunshine and Positions albums.

NINGNING’s "Bored!" is anR&B dance track. The English-language song, with lyrics co-written by NINGNING, hears her icily detail her penchant for falling intensely in love but quickly getting bored. WINTER’s solo "Spark", which she participated in composing and lyric-writing, is a sentimental house-pop banger that describes the feeling of falling deeply in love, starting with a small spark.

aespa is set to unleash new music with their fifth mini album, Whiplash, later this month. The group will kick off the North American leg of their world tour on 28 January 2025, playing nine dates across the United States, Mexico and Canada before coming to Europe. They will return to the UK for a sold-out night at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 2 March 2025, before their stops in Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Madrid.
