æspa is the highly anticipated four-girl South Korean group from SM Entertainment since Red Velvet's debut in 2014. Members: 💗Karina / Yu Jimin (04/11/2000) - leader, main dancer, lead rapper, face of the group. Her symbol is the heart, and her spirit animal is the whale. She is Korean. 🌙Giselle / Uchinaga Aeri (10/30/2000) - main rapper, sub-vocalist. Her symbol is the moon, and her spirit animal is the unicorn. She is half Japanese and half Korean. ⭐Winter / Kim Minjung (01/01/2001) - lead vocalist, lead dancer, visual of the group. Her symbol is a star, and her spirit animal is the Siberian husky. She is Korean. 🦋NingNing / Ning Yi Zhuo (10/23/2002) - main vocalist, maknae of the group. Her symbol is a butterfly, and her spirit animal is a tiger. She is Chinese. The name "æspa" comes from "æ" - abbreviations of the words "avatar X experience", as well as from "spa", which means "aspect", implying the duality of the concept. The whole name together can be interpreted as "The opportunity to experience a new world through your avatar - a virtual version of you." Terminology (all information in details, which is only known at the moment): 1) "æ" - Alter ego with its own personality, formed on the basis of the data that we publish in everyday life. Once in different parts of the city, unidentified shimmering holes (portals) appeared, which almost immediately disappeared. A heated debate erupted around the results of the investigation of this incident. The real world is rapidly filled with digital entities calling themselves "æ", whose appearance is about to commemorate the beginning of a new era of coexistence with them. Their number continues to grow exponentially, and they become part of our life. æ take shape in our likeness, and in doing so they have their own unique features. æ are "we" and not "we" at the same time. Some people unable to recognize their avatars because they can differ greatly from them in appearance, demeanor, worldview, temper, etc. This is due to the fact that the data that we post on the Internet does not match reality. Many to varying degrees often resort to using various photo editors, pretend to be a different personality, thereby creating a certain image for themselves, which is an improved version of ourselves in all respects. Based on this, æ are a living display of our images in digital reality. But even if people post something that is different from their real selves, the avatars will still get a piece directly from their selves. 2) "Kwangya" - A separate independent of reality virtual world, in which the avatars are located. Is an unexplored, boundless and eternally expanding, unbridled length without forms and rules. In Korean, the word "Kwangya" means "wilderness". 3) "Flat" - The place where æ live and where people can coexist with them. Outside the Flat is Kwangya. 4) "Synk" - The connection through which people and æ communicate with each other (works like a messenger) 5) "Rekall" - The time a person spends with his æ. Can also refer to the process by which an avatar appears in the real world for a limited period. 6) "P.O.S" (Port Of Soul) - This is the portal through which æ pass to enter the real world. 7) "Nævis" - A guide system that connects æ and people. She can open portals to different worlds, inform avatars about their "other selves", and also help them get into and stay in the real world for some time. 8) "My" - In Kwangya language means "best friend" (is the name of æspa's fandom) 9) "Black mamba" (poisonous snake) - A virus that infiltrated Kwangya and blocked Synk, causing the "Synkout" phenomenon to break out. The forced shutdown of æ occurred simultaneously throughout the city, which caused a flurry of panic among citizens. Karina's, Winter's, NinNing's and Giselle's æ decide to go to Kwangya to find and defeat the villainess. 10) "Nu evo" - ? 11) "Kosmo" - ? SM Entertainment plans: Lee Soo Man (Director of SM), gave a talk about the future of entertainment industry at the "2020 World Cultural Industry forum" said that æspa is their first project in the implementation of SMCU (SM Culture Universe) - a shared universe for their current and future artists that will design a futuristic vision of celebrities and avatars. "A world where celebrities and avatars are brought together, transcending boundaries between the real and virtual worlds" is the core value of the future K-pop industry that producer Lee Soo Man is pursuing. Depending on the technological advances of society, the way of life and thinking of humanity will continue to change, and æspa will become the embodiment of the unification of culture and technology. Lee Soo Man looked forward to the group with avatar five years ago, and the planning process for aespa project took a year. Lee Soo Man hired a Hollywood animation team to create the avatars. He also personally became the head of the most important production processes - from the creation of the music and the idea of the group, to the planning of its external image. Avatars will be promoted in the same way as the members, while having a revolutionary identity. SM's worldview is no longer limited to one group, and all of its current and future performers will live in one big universe. SMCU will express artists and music through narrative content, and SM is set to include EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, and other. There are already numerous hints of their shared universe. All information is taken and interpreted by me from sources such as Kprofies (aespa Members Profile); video "aespa 에스파 'ep1. Black Mamba' - SM Culture Universe"; Huffpost ("What's Going On With K-Pop Group Aespa And Its AI Avatars?"); Allkpop ("Lee Soo Man describes the avatar members of aespa + promotion plans during his '2020 World Cultural Industry Forum' talk"); Koreaboo ("SM Entertainment Reveals Their Vision About The “SM Culture Universe” And How It Connects Through Their Artists")
My take of the song is that it shows the 2 different world where the members of aespa crossing in and out of. Reality and along with their alter egos…love this experimentation. It’s new and innovative, keeps you interested. Different from your common predictive elements in music.

My take of the song is that it shows the 2 different world where the members of aespa crossing in and out of. Reality and along with their alter egos…love this experimentation. It’s new and innovative, keeps you interested. Different from your common predictive elements in music.
