And the Academy Award for best live-action short: I'm the Drama #Winter Seriously, Winter specially ate that. Her performance, the cinematography, the story, the execution. Perfection, perfection, perfection, perfection. SM on a roll with these teaser + the Red Velvet Chill Kill one.
Armamenter Winter using a weapon for revenge and Xenoglossy Giselle using words to free herself... Now I'm expecting Rocket Puncher Karina beating the s--t out of someone and E.D Hacker Ningning doxxing a stalker or something tomorrow
I swear to god, Winter is SO GOOD BRO. I saw this and got so fucking hyped for the comeback and I don’t EVER watch spoilers. I never said it before, but I’m gonna say it now; Winter is my second ULT bias in kpop. Right there next to Yoohyeon. Also, Winter has some of the BEST scenes from the SMCU to teasers
For Winter it seems like her brother got into a car accident and died, the man’s wife was on the phone and Winter was attacking him because he was driving the car that collided with her brother’s car. I think it may be a revenge thing because maybe the guy and his wife weren’t charged or they just got a slap on the wrist. Whether it was an accident or not, it seems like Winter isn’t over it.
Yo after watching Winter turn in to a murdering psychopath and then seeing the red velvet short, I thought Winter was gonna come walking through with that sledgehammer. WHAT IS HAPPENING
Need actress winter to really happen like she have that first love visuals but at the same time i really want to see her in a psycho-thriller drama or movie 🫠
Between this and New Jeans, we getting full length movies soon lol. And no im not comparing people so trolls go find food elsewhere. Merely saying that some of their video and concepts are crazy. Aespas is more in your face and action packed where as New Jeans is.... WTF is going on and more into people determining for themselves what it means. Between the 2 of them, I am loving it!
Winter's acting is impressive. I'd expect nothing less from her, she's really smart and talented. She knows how to manage her voice, her body and her gestures. She never ceases to amaze. It's not for nothing that she's my ultimate bias ;-p
For Winter's teaser I missed it the first time. But from the phone call it appears this Man killed her brother in a car accident. And Winter goes and takes revenge.
Winter’s was quite obvious. She was taking revenge on someone who killed her brother. Giselle’s was what took a lot of time understanding it. There was a doppelgänger disguising as Giselle but she doesn’t know. She constantly says “I didn’t seem him yesterday” and “I didn’t say that” because her clone is spreading all the bad rumors about her. That’s why there are shots of the doppelgänger Giselle eavesdropping in dark. The guy said "this isn't you" because he knows how Giselle usually acts, meanwhile Becky said "this isn't you" because all this time she spent it with the doppelgänger.
i think winter's lore is that her brother was killed in a car "accident" by tony and the women on the phone, winter is trying to get revenge (there were car accident scenes put in during the fight scene, close ups on the phone and phone chord, winter staggering in a daze and crying in the shower might indicate relieved but shocked after taking revenge as well as mourning her brother's death)
FYI, for when the slow-mo can't cut it, you can pause and use the < and > keys to go frame by frame. As for Winter's, I agree with the other commenters below that it looks like there was a car accident that affected Winter's brother, she is "the guy's sister" we hear about in the call. He probably died in the crash, and the two people responsible were not punished, at least not according to Winter, the call says "it was an accident, we didn't do it on purpose". So, she takes matters into her own hands, calls the woman we hear and possibly hurls some abuse at her, then uses a sledgehammer to break down Tony's door, there is a struggle, and it looks like she takes the landline phone and uses the cord to strangle Tony, and that is why he never picks up the phone when the call we get to hear actually takes place. Winter is all banged-up after that, and going through it, she laughs out loud, wanders around or out of the apartment, and stares at us. The shower scene might be after all this, I can't tell if her eyes are bruised then or if it's the lighting, and she could be crying over her brother, or over what she's done, or both. I just loved these two, and am very excited to see what Ningning's and Karina's bring, also I do not feel safe whatsoever.
Not cat got my tongue, it should be Winter got my tongue at this point. Yo she’s insaneeee like how can she act so well?? I literally got goosebumps, my mouth would not shut, my mind went feral and tears coming out of my eyes seeing her like that 😭
They will give us a drama series about 4 different characters, Giselle as I can see will have that type of coming-of-age drama, winter got the action seek-for-revenge type of drama... Can't wait to watch Karina's and ning's

So glad you reacted to this :D I'm excited for Karina's and Ningnings now, because the 2 we got today were amazing. I would also recommend reacting (or even just watching in private) the mood sampler they did. From what i've seen of SM stuff, they spoil the song through MV teasers only but anything labelled as something else like mood sampler will always be unique to that vid.
A rundown to aespa's lore: After they killed Black Mamba in Girls, they threw a party in Spicy to celebrate the victory. They invited everyone (probably all students in the campus) but due to the strange phenomenon, no one came. Then in Better Things, they insisted that they have "better things to do in their time" than to deal with that strange phenomenon as it seems that in their spicy teasers, they were really not bothered with it (Winter even took a selfie with those bouncing balls). In their Better Things sitcom, they said that there's an acting gig for them, they just need to audition. And so in Drama, we have this special video "I am the Drama" as their audition piece or their acting gig. The interesting thing is that the theme for each member is actually an allegory (or allusion I don't know the right term) to their individual powers: Winter's theme is murd3r and ki11ing as she is an armamenter, and Giselle's theme is communicating with someone having a toxic relationship, as she have xenoglossy skills, the power of communication. Update for Karina and Ningning: Karina was a spy and her's is action-themed, quite fitting as she is the rocket puncher, responsible for all the actions in their lore. And Ningning was about breaking with the norms and being yourself. This may relate to her power as an ED hacker in SMCU ep3 where he broke Black Mamba's source of power. Now we know that Black Mamba was born due to the negative things in the internet and media, and thus Ningning's message in the drama was also to break everything, including haters, that just hinders you from being your own true self (hope you get it I suck in explaining). The only thing that we can't connect with their lore (at least up until this point) is 'the Giants'. Is them being a Giant a result from the strange phenomenon? Are they in another dimension? Maybe we can find it out in another SMCU episode. And also don't wonder if the storyline from MY WORLD to Drama were not made into SMCU episodes. SMCU episodes only include the stories that will affect the whole SM lore, all artists included. But for this, they only happen to the aespa's world. Notice that these were only posted in aespa account, and other contents related to SMCU and kwangya was on SMTown account.
Not sure what's going on at SM, but I just came here from Red Velvet's trailer for Chill Kill. Looks like SM is going full on psycho thriller mode. Both girls here killed it.
Giselle's is my favorite, this is AMAZING. She would be an amazing actress. I don't even stan aespa that hard and I am so captured by her teaser. Oh my god..

hey guys! if you pause the video and press the "." or "," keys, you can go frame by frame on the videos! in that way you can see the little details like that red flashing light that appeared! xoxo
what if the concept is that the 4 girls are having this "drama" in their lives and they are going to end up together somehow, probably in the full mv...? i wonder if this is connected with the aespa lore mmh...
I like this concept more than the AI, i mean they still can use a story telling on their comeback, instead spending a lot of money for CGI they can made thriller/crime story for this comeback, i mean look at how much money you need to spend for CGI, they could save so much money with this concept
As an asian woman, this is how i interpreted what happened during Giselle's acting audition: I believe this scene is in reference to the way Asian women are often viewed by westerners (notice the white man and black woman as judges) as demure and passive, rather than strong. This harmful stereotype not only makes its way into hollywood (notice how few asian folks get leading roles in hollywood movies/shows), but also shows up in the context of heterosexual partnerships where the asian women are often fetishized by western men based on their prejudices that Asian women make good quiet obedient housewives.

Winter is really awesome at acting! This bad-girl role really suits her. I like how she embodied the role.
Kim is literally and definitely the best!!!
Winter best aktingnya
Giselle was so good ❤

The red velvet teaser is so spooky and intresting too!! BOTH ARE GOOD
SM just spend a lot money on this two
I think Winter killed the guy in Joys kitchen....
@@juicesghost8501 I thought that Joy killed maybe Wendy???? Idk
@@juicesghost8501 When SM wanted all their artists to be part of Kwangya, this is what they were talking about :)
Winter KILLED IT

This is exactly what I think happened too. A lot of people miss the landline cord thing.

SM give them a acting project because aespa really good well in this one and thank u for reacting by the way
Aespa and Red velvet have terrifying concepts, but I love both concepts.

Giselle killed it fr 🔥
Aespa comeback is Next Level 😱😱😱
Giselle's teaser looks simple but is the most difficult to act out of all. She really has acting potential.
Winter doesnt need line to act, she looks natural, i think she will get casting for drama
Giselle is so good❤
THIS IS SO INSANELY COOL !!!
Winter's acting is crazy. It would be a waste if she didn't try out a role
Between this and Kiss of Life's comeback which has a similar vibe judging from their teasers, I am SO READY for this emo k-pop era!!
GISELLE AND WINTERRRR??! I'll be grateful if Winters gonna strangle me with those telephone wires lmaoooo

Giselle!!!!!❤
As an asian woman, this is how i interpreted what happened during Giselle's acting audition:
I believe this scene is in reference to the way Asian women are often viewed by westerners (notice the white man and black woman as judges) as demure and passive, rather than strong. This harmful stereotype not only makes its way into hollywood (notice how few asian folks get leading roles in hollywood movies/shows), but also shows up in the context of heterosexual partnerships where the asian women are often fetishized by western men based on their prejudices that Asian women make good quiet obedient housewives.
You should react red velvet chill kill trailer! Sm in their drama ass era 😂
