aespa revealed they weren't totally happy with their debut on the latest episode of the 'Zach Sang Show'.
The SM Entertainment girl group talked about debuting with "Black Mamba" in 2020, and 2 years later, they revealed they weren't happy despite the music show wins and rising popularity. Karina expressed, "To be honest, it wasn't just happiness. I mean, of course we were happy to finally make our debut, but because we debuted in the middle of the pandemic, we couldn't meet our fans in person as we had always hoped. Sadly, we were facing and performing in front of cameras."
Karina further shared there was a lot of pressure as they were the first girl group to debut from SM Entertainment since Red Velvet in 2014. She stated, "We received a lot of positive feedback after our debut, but since we were SM's newest girl group, we got a lot of negative reactions as well."
Karina also mentioned about all 4 aespa members, "We were going through a hard time back then as well... Now, we have a lot of fans and receive a lot of support and love, but in our debut days, it was hard."
