Just 3 weeks after their last release with their 2nd single album, “Dirty Work” in June, aespa (에스파) is gearing up for another release very soon. With their chart-topping title track “Dirty Work” hitting 41 million views on YouTube in just two weeks, SM Entertainment’s powerhouse girl group is just getting started.
News outlet Dispatch reported on 14th July 2025 (Monday) that aespa is prepping for an album release this September, with the girl group aiming to film their music video next week. Wrapping up their “Dirty Work” promotions on the SBS music program “Inkigayo” on 13th July 2025 (Sunday), vocalist Winter (김민정) hints at the comeback with, “We will make a comeback soon, so please show lots of love for our next comeback song“.
The report also states that renowned dancer Lee Jung (이이정), who is currently filming on Mnet’s female dancer survival show, “World of Street Woman Fighter”, will be participating in the choreography for aespa’s new track release. This new release marks the group’s 2nd comeback of the year with only a 3-month gap in between.
Netizens show positive reactions towards the news, with netizens agreeing that a new side to the group would be a welcome change for their next release. Twitter user @/NewsHanguk comments, “We can’t wait to see the new side they’ll show us this time. Their music always inspires and energises us”.
However, some netizens have brought up their latest track “Dirty Work” as not being on par with the group’s reputation. Twitter user @/TrelleLove comments, “Dirty Work’s choreography and how SM promoted was..I don’t know. We heard pretty much the whole chorus weeks before the song came out”.
