Girl group aespa will make a much-anticipated return on May 8, according to a Korean media report Friday.
SM Entertainment confirmed the news following the report. More details and a timetable for promotions will be announced soon, the company said, asking fans to keep their expectations high.
It has been about 10 months since the release of the group's second EP Girls, which went on to hit the Billboard 200 at No. 3. The EP sold 1.64 million copies in preorders and became the first album from a K-pop girl group to sell over 1 million in the first week of sales.
The quartet recently released Hold On Tight as part of the soundtrack for Apple's original movie Tetris.
The group was set to drop its first full album in February, but the release was pushed back as the label got mired in conflict over management issues. Aespa held its first standalone concert in late February, unveiling 11 unpublished songs. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
