Netizens react to aespa's first performance of "Rich Man" at their concert

aespa gave fans the very first look at their new title track "Rich Man" during their 'LIVE TOUR SYNK: aeXIS LINE' concert on August 29.

The track, which headlines their upcoming 6th mini-album 'Rich Man' set for release on September 5, had already sparked excitement through a cinematic trailer starring actor Koo Kyo Hwan.

Following the group's performance, fancams spread across social media and online communities, where fans and netizens showed their love.

They commented:

"Honestly, I think 'Spicy' would’ve been better to release at this time."

"Kinda sounds like old SM songs."

"I love it. Also, aespa just keep getting prettier every time. I thought they already reached peak visuals, but they keep proving me wrong."

"The song is good though lol. Ningning is so pretty these days."

"This will do well again."

"Oh, it’s good."

"It’s instantly catchy."

"Not the vibe I expected from the concept photos."

"I like it."

"The song is better than I expected. It sounds better than the highlight teaser."

"The song is really good, but the choreography is weak."

"I'm getting hooked on the chorus that sings 'I am a Rich Man.' I like it."
