>In aespa’s cosmology, KWANGYA (wilderness) represents the amorphous, infinite digital world, and in that world there is ae-aespa, which was born based on the digital data of each member. @.NINGx2 Ning Yizhuo and ae-NINGNING are “hackers” who draw creative pictures through digital painting, are good at using electronic devices and conduct intelligence survellaince. NINGNING in the Real World stands at the starting point of the future and casts a curious look at the unknown world of the metaverse where ae-NINGNING is located. This is a dialogue between NINGNING and the future, and also Ning Yizhuo’s exploration of herself. She is full of imagination and she has infinite possibilities.
>18-year-old @.NINGx2 Ning Yizhuo debuted as the lead singer of aespa. This is the first time SM has launched a girl group in 6 years since Red Velvet, and aespa is highly anticipated. The name aespa is derived from “Avatar” and “Experience”, the first letters of which are combined into “ae”, and then combined with “aspect”, and finally fell on the concept of “meeting another self and embodying a new world.” In addition to being an artist, Ning Yizhuo is now also a 22-year-old girl who loves spring. She likes the quiet and charming cafes in Hannam-dong, and also wants to have the special ability to travel in time. She said: “I want to travel to any time and space I want to go to, because I want to experience the beautiful moments again, and I also want to go back to the past to make up for those regrets.”
