RUMOR [AKP] Insider claims aespa will add 3 more members including well-known trainee Helen

According to an unidentified insider, SM Entertainment's rookie girl group aespa, set to debut on November 17 with their 1st digital single "Black Mamba", will be adding new members in the near future.

As many of you know, aespa currently consist of 4-members. But according to this insider, SM Entertainment plans on adding 3 more members, making a 7-member group.

An online post by this insider first surfaced back in October. Many people initially wrote this insider's comments off as baseless. However, with the recent release of aespa's "Black Mamba" MV teaser, the post is garnering renewed attention.

The insider claimed back on October 29,



"This song is similar to K/DA's 'Popstar' but a little heavier, and in the beginning it starts with the electric guitar before they shout 'Hey' and then Karina starts off in the center of the formation. However many times I listen to the song, it's just a plain, generic hip-girl song. Part 1. Karina, 2. Ningning, 3. Winter, 4 Aeri. The debut is only 4 members and Winter and Ningning have the most parts. The dance during the highlight part is similar to Girls' Generation's 'Girls bring the' part..."

Many netizens are now surprised to find that many of claims made in the post above came true. This insider also made the claim that 3 new members would be added some time after SME revealed aespa's official logo, by writing the names of the debuting members first:

Yoo Ji Min (Karina)

Ningning

Aeri (Giselle)

Kim Min Jung (Winter)

And then adding the names of the alleged new members:

Initial R/L, Initial N

Initial (Could be A, Y, W, etc), Initial J

Initial H, Initial R/L

Of the initials of the alleged new members mentioned, many netizens recognized the one with "Initial H, Initial R/L" as belonging to an already well-known SM trainee, Helen (born 2003, Australian-American).

What do you think of the claims and rumors?

People said the same about red velvet because they had so many girls who werent ot4 in the beginning of happiness.
The addition better be good because yeri is sweet and all but she adds nothing to red velvet.
Imo aespa need a main dancer because thats def where they lacked, if she doesn't have that theres no need to add her

The idea of debuting 4 then slowly adding 3 is just stupid why didnt they debut 7 in the first place then

if you think that red velvet could of pulled off their red-concepts even half as well without Yeri you are simply wrong + the flavor she adds to the harmonies = irreplaceable . As for dance, that is Helen's main focus and she does seem to be less stiff than Jimin in the videos we have of her so she'd definitely add that.

Idk how to feel about this rumor, I've been saying for a while now in the thread that I didn't think it'd be 7 members bc that's the size of nearly all 4th ggs rn and I figured SM wouldn't want to just go with the trend, but, clearly everything from Aespa's debut says they do so... If it does happen I think just adding them the group would be dumb and make everyone mad, a unit thing could work fine though.

We'll know in a few months anyways, until then let the ppl

interesting
we'll see

Hmm

 

[Vanilla Cupcake]

I really hope not. There are so many mid-size to large size groups, and it is just a breath of fresh air to have a relatively smaller group.

Interesting
