Kpop Female Group of the Month #7

I'll try to keep this short and simple so people will actually read it!

aespa (에스파), stylized as æspa, is a 4 member girl group under sm entertainment
the group consists of karina, giselle, winter and ningning. they debuted on november 17, 2020 with the digital single "black mamba!"

Why are they called æspa?
Their name comes from combining ‘æ’ derived from ‘Avatar X Experience’ & ‘aspect’. the meaning behind the name is various innovative activities to come with the theme of ‘experiencing a new world via the encounter of the ‘avatar’, your other self’
they each have digital counterparts, which i will talk about more later ^^"
