Aespa Is Ending Their Rookie Year In Iconic Fashion With These Award Wins
Rookie girl group aespa had a historic debut in 2020, going on to quickly become one of the biggest groups in K-Pop within its first year. A year after debuting with the smash hit “Black Mamba,” the girls of aespa are by no means done as they continue to break records and set new standards in the industry.
Most recently, aespa became one of only two 4th generation groups to win top 10 at the 2021 Melon Music Awards.

Fans could not be prouder of aespa’s achievements, and it’s not hard to see why. The group is not called a ‘monster rookie group’ for no reason!
aespa winning a 100% panel-based daesang is something to be sooooo proud of
