[EPN Enpinau reporter Go Nari] aespa is set to return on May 29 with their second full-length album, LEMONADE, nearly two years after their previous major release.
The 10-track record spans multiple genres, deepens aespa’s distinctive storytelling world, and showcases noticeable musical growth.
This is their first full album since 2024’s Armageddon, which not only spent the longest stretch at No. 1 on Melon and achieved a Perfect All Kill (PAK), but also collected major domestic and international awards and earned them Billboard’s Women in Music 2025 Group of the Year. Industry observers will be watching to see what milestones aespa reaches with the new release.
Since debut, aespa has been praised for a distinctive, metallic-tinged sound. Critics say last year’s single \"Dirty Work\" and the mini-album \"Rich Man\" expanded their musical range, and the new full-length promises further experimentation and change.
Pre-orders for the full album LEMONADE begin on the 20th at online and brick-and-mortar record stores.
