A post on the popular Korean forum Pann titled “ aespa is coming back tomorrow — how do you think ‘Dirty Work’ will do?” has gone viral, sparking discussions across online communities. The original poster expressed optimism, citing the massive success of the group’s recent hits “Supernova” and “Armageddon” as proof that aespa’s Dirty Work comeback could be another hit in the making.
“Considering how well ‘Supernova’ did, I think ‘Dirty Work’ will be huge too,” wrote the OP, with many agreeing that aespa’s consistent delivery of cutting-edge concepts, powerful visuals, and innovative sound design has put them on a solid path to success.
aespa’s “Supernova” drew praise for its experimental production and confident energy, while “Armageddon” solidified their place as one of the boldest girl groups in the fourth generation. With “Dirty Work” positioned as the next step in their evolution, fans are eager to see whether the group will lean further into their futuristic identity or unveil something completely unexpected.
While the title “Dirty Work” hints at a grittier, edgier concept, SM Entertainment has yet to release many spoilers, except for the teaser. The timing of the release also strategically aligns with a summer comeback wave, making it a prime opportunity for aespa to dominate both domestic and global charts.
Here are some Korean netizen reactions under the post discussing aespa’s upcoming comeback “Dirty Work.” While some expressed confidence in the group’s brand power, others voiced concerns over the promotional strategy and competition from rising groups:
- “If they’re doing this much promotion and still don’t get results, that’s a real problem.”
- “Honestly, every time I see the YouTube promos, I get the feeling it’s not going to do well…”
- “Well, it’s aespa — it’ll probably do well regardless.”
- “LOL the inferiority complex is insane. It’s been 31 years and they still can’t win, always seething at HYBE — comedy gold.”
- “ALLDAY PROJECT is doing too well. I think attention might shift away [from aespa].”
As fans count down the hours to the release, all eyes are on aespa to see if “Dirty Work” will continue their hot streak—and perhaps even set new records.
