Fans believe that aespa's comeback is imminent. 

On May 12, the following items were registered with GTINs (Global Trade Item Number) for distribution. The first reads "A/ 2nd Mini Album (A)", the second reads "A/ 2nd Mini Album (B)",  and the third reads "A/ 2nd Mini Album (D)".

The products were registered by SM Entertainment, with distribution by DREAMUS Company. 

It's believed that the registered items are three different versions of aespa's 2nd mini album. Fans are speculating that the girl group's comeback will likely take place some time in June of this year, based on the registrations. 

Meanwhile, some netizens stated that teasers for other SM Entertainment artists currently preparing for their comebacks, including NCT Dream and Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, began about 2~3 days after physical albums were registered with GTINs.
