The unexpected charms of aespa
The members shared some of the unexpected charms on the broadcast. Karina said that her specialty is picking up some items like TV remote and bobby pins with her feet.
Ningning said that her favorite food is sungdaeguk or blood sausage soup. She eats it with red pepper powder, chives, chili peppers, kkakdugi, or cubed radish kimchi.
Winter and Karina are Korean members, Giselle is from Japan, and Ningning is from China. Giselle also shared that her mom is Korean, so she used to speak Korean since she was young.
Ningning said she came to Korea in 2016. Korean is hard, and when she sings her part, the phrase “the enchanting you” is hard to pronounce.
As per their futuristic “avatar” concept, Giselle described that avatars are like their twins in an imaginary world created entirely out of data. Ningning commented that she was shocked to see her avatar singing the same voice as her.
