Girl group aespa (aespa, Karina, Winter, Giselle, Ningning) expressed their confident ambitions at a comeback event in Daejeon this June.

aespa held a comeback press conference at 2 p.m. on the 28th at Sofitel in Jamsil, Seoul. aespa will release their second full album 'LEMONADE' through major music streaming sites at 1 p.m. on the 29th.

The album includes a total of 10 tracks, featuring the pre-release song 'WDA' (Whole Different Animal) and the title track 'LEMONADE.'

'LEMONADE' is an addictive electronic dance track with a powerful and trendy synth bass sound. The lyrics draw inspiration from the proverb 'If life gives you lemons, make lemonade,' hinting at a new season in aespa's worldview while cleverly conveying a positive message through aespa's unique personality: "No matter what trials or hardships come our way, we will turn them into opportunities."

The main video for 'LEMONADE' conveys the song's message of turning crisis into opportunity by depicting aespa opening a portal to P.O.S (Power of Self) through a rift caused by a 'lemon bug' that rolled into aespa's parallel world, and transforming a dark world in their own way as they traverse this passage.

On this day, aespa's Karina said, "This album is very meaningful. We were excited and also felt burdened because everyone loved our first album so much. We put a lot of thought into making it, and we will show you a more mature side." Giselle also said, "Like the previous album, this one has a high level of completion." Winter stated, "We included various stories in the tracklist. We hope many people will react with 'As expected, it's aespa.'" Ningning added, "We are both excited and nervous. We confidently infused the album with a charm that is both powerful and relaxed, cool."

Karina said, "Through this album, we have included not only the metallic taste but also the sour taste. You will be able to feel a refreshing charm." Giselle also said, "Through this album, you will feel aespa's worldview that is opening up anew."

Regarding 'LEMONADE,' Winter said, "Personally, I think it's the track that best captures aespa's unique wit. Its lyrics are characterized by the line 'We will down it all refreshingly even in dangerous situations.' It is one of my most cherished tracks." Winter added, "The tracklist features everything from powerful and weighty songs to witty and energetic ones. You will be able to enjoy aespa in various ways."

Winter said, "aespa's unique worldview will expand to the next level. You will feel a more solidified message and direction. I want people to feel that aespa has opened a new door." On this day, aespa's Winter also said, "There are many times when I want to do what I like but hesitate. I think being self-reliant and living as myself without worrying about others' opinions is what makes aespa unique." Karina said, "We hope to achieve better results than with our first full album, but we want everyone to gain a lot of energy. The message is to turn trials and pain into lemonade and drink it all."

Ningning said, "Over seven years of activity, we have been searching for our own identity. Whether it's the 'metallic taste' or new aspects, we continue to seek them out. This is our strength." Giselle also said, "We deliberated with the company to choose songs that fit us well. When we debuted, we knew nothing, but as time passed and we gained fans, we experienced hardships. It felt good that we could be a source of strength for others through our activities."
