1. [+255] It's not really fair to say that the members don't have an image that fits with Aespa.. because when Ningning was in Rookies, she had a totally cutesy image but completely switched to a fierce, catty image when she debuted ㅋㅋㅋ All of these idols are popular within their own right but I know that they would be 100 times more popular had they debuted with SM

2. [+289] Kim Jae Hyun is totally SM's type of face ㅠㅠㅠ I personally think if she got styled in Aespa's image, she would fit in immediately... she has a similar vibe to Winter's face, which makes me like her more ㅜ

3. [+126] There are a lot of former SM trainee idols ㅋㅋ

4. [+148] The fact that SM chose Giselle over talents like these girls

5. [+79] I wonder how unfair the idols who are prettier than Giselle must feel that they got pushed out of their debut by her (except Yeonjung)

6. [+43] If I were any of these girls, I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night knowing that Giselle got picked over me

7. [+94] At least they got to debut in other groups. A lot of SM Rookies spend all their teen years as trainees before being kicked out without a debut

8. [+11] Feels kind of weird to picture any of them in Kwangya

9. [+16] They may not have a similar vibe to Aespa now but if you try to picture them individually, I can easily see them in an SM group

10. [+21] I was thinking Wooyeon looked pretty in her webdrama, of course she's a former SM trainee...

11. [+19] And yet our Queen Giselle unni debuted confidently(?) thanks to her talents ♥️

12. [+3] Tsuki in Aespa...? I don't think it would match ㅋㅋㅋ

13. [+10] Chaehyun really looks like an SM image,,, but more Red Velvet than Aespa

14. [+24] None of them really have Aespa's vibe

15. [+5] The fact that Giselle and Ningning debuted over talents like these.....
