[+138] I personally like this new concept than their old Kwangya stuff
[+72] I'm kind of disappointed that their concept is more 'high-teen' now.. there are already too many girl groups with the teen concept, and I was already at a point of getting tired of it.. I liked that Aespa's concept was more futuristic...
[+69] Their concept hasn't completely changed. They're still world building on the Gwangya stuff.
[+48] I'm personally a fan of the change because it feels like they're back to the old SM vibe... Their past songs were great but Aespa's really back to a vibe unique to SM.. am I the only one who thought that.. ㅠ
[+45] Their concept does really feel different now that Lee Soo Man's gone
[+35] This new concept is like Aespa became New Jeans-fied
[+34] Their new song feels more like Red Velvet than Aespa
[+33] They made Karina look way too much like Taeyeon...
[+31] I feel like this comeback took away their identity
[+29] I actually liked their past concepts
[+19] I kind of liked how ridiculous Aespa's Gwangya concept was, though..
[+17] They kind of give off that small/mid-tier agency idol feel...
[+16] Am I the only one who misses Gwangya...
[+12] Their styling has gotten so much prettier
[+11] I'm sure there might still be people who miss their Gwangya concept but I personally like this new concept! It's great to see them try something new instead of sticking to the usual Gwangya calling.
[+10] Feels a bit awkward to have their image go through such a drastic change.. ㅠㅠ
[+4] Guys, they explained that their next concept was going to be more warrior-like ㅜㅜ
[+2] It's pretty obvious SM is trying to erase all traces of Lee Soo Man's vision so it's funny that fans are still holding on to the "world building" ㅋㅋ

[+273] I like that Ningning looks a lot prettier, but it feels like the group has lost its unique color with this change. Especially Karina and Winter. They looked so good with the AI/futuristic styling.
[+112] I prefer their previous style...
[+103] I think they're going to have to go back to Gwangya
[+84] They were one of the few unique groups.. but now they look like everyone else..
[+21] I guess I'm the only one who prefers Gwangya...
[+17] It's like their coordi thawed out a 2010 style time capsule... I actually prefer their music video outfits
[+13] This is a bit... hmm..
[+13] Please go back to Gwangya ㅠ
[+8] Karina matches cool-toned hair better 😢
[+3] Yeah, sure, let's say the virtual characters were eaten up by the Black Mamba so the members ate the blue pill matrix and this is their new concept now
