aespa＆アバター　VS　blackpink



Also featured in aespa's ``Avatar'' ballad song ``Forever''... ``I'm sick of it'' and ``I thought it was gone...''

★　aespa released their remake single “Forever” on the 5th. The member's ``Avatar'' appears in the MV, and it has become a hot topic in the Korean online community.
"Forever" is a medium-tempo ballad about the pure feelings of promising eternity to a loved one. The music video has a warm winter atmosphere, but an avatar that looks like a game character appears, as if completely ignoring that mood.
This has been unpopular with internet users, with comments such as ``That's outrageous'' and ``It's a bit disgusting. I wish they wouldn't appear in such emotional songs.''
Also, regarding the scene in which the avatar appears overlooking the singing aespa in the dome, there were reactions such as ``scary'' and ``AI controlling humans...?'' The lyrics before that scene were something along the lines of, "Always standing by your side, He's always like this, Forever."



★Each of the four members of "aespa" has an avatar. Its worldview is that members exist in the real world and the virtual world at the same time, and that they communicate with each other through the digital world, which is the intermediate world between them, and grow while interacting with each other. They were actively promoted even before their debut, appearing in the music video for their debut song "Black mamba" released in November last year.



(Korean online community reaction)
▼“Outrageous”
▼“I thought it had disappeared….”
▼"It's like a children's anime"
▼"I'm just tired of it. I wish they wouldn't appear in such emotional songs."
▼ “Do you mean forever with ae members?”
▼"Scary"
▼ “AI will control humans…?”
▼"Abandon your avatar"
▼ “The avatars don’t have the sincerity to change their clothes.”
▼ “Why is there criticism?”
▼“Jealousy of SM”
▼ “Karina and ae Karina, they look alike”
▼ “I request you to withdraw from iSpa”
▼“Aespa is really the best (crying), but why are there anime characters like that...?”
▼“Let me change my clothes.”
▼ “Black Mamba, where did you go? Good luck.”




I watched the "Forever" MV released at 6pm on February 5th on YouTube.
While listening to the voices of the four members excluding Gisele, I had the impression that I was listening to the voices of the Girls' Generation vocalists.
It could be said that SM was able to present such a perfect singing voice at such a young age, and the freshness and clean singing voice made me feel like I had been hit by a waterfall.

Their debut song "Black mamba" was a hit and the results and performance were not bad, but if they had this much singing ability and visuals, wouldn't it be a good idea to use "Forever" as their debut song... It is clear that they are a group that will become popular sooner or later.
I think it would have been better to have a third gong beat song to compete with blackpink.
When I listened to this song, I was fascinated by Winter's singing voice and the depth of her emotions.
I might end up liking her more than Karina...



As for "Avatar", no matter how we try, we are not strong enough to compete with blackpink with just four people. As the number of members increases, the rivalry image disappears. So, he came up with a method (idea) of placing animated shadows of the members in mirrors to assist them.
However, it is questionable whether it worked well or not...It seems like there are some negative comments from internet users, which is not enough.
In the first place, the actual item is ``cuter'', so it's no surprise that some people say ``it's unnecessary'' and ``I don't need it.''
