"Not too excited about the new girl group."

"SM should teach this group about having a good personality."

"I don't like their name. Looks weird and has a weird meaning."

"Aespa sounds like some kind of superpower. lol."

"I'm glad there's another girl group coming out but the timing..."

"Aespa must sound okay in English. Sounds weird in Korean."

"I'm excited about SM's new girl group. But do they need to debut them now? at a time like this?"

"They could have debuted next year. Much better than debuting at the year-end."
