aespa will make their Comeback on May 29th at 1 p.m. with their second full album titled “Lemonade.” The album features a total of 11 tracks, including the pre-release single “WDA(Whole Different Animal)” featuring G-Dragon, and comes alongside large-scale pop-up stores and music video projects centered around Seoul’s Han River Park and Yeouido.

SM Entertainment officially announced on the 18th that this second full album by aespa, composed of Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning, will be released. The title track “Lemonade” is an electronic dance song distinguished by its intense and trendy synth bass sound, inspired by the proverb “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Its lyrics cleverly convey a positive message about turning any trials and hardships into opportunities, further highlighting the unique identity of aespa. “WDA(Whole Different Animal)” featuring G-Dragon has already gained significant popularity among fans as a pre-release single, and the second full album includes this track along with a featured version of the title track “Lemonade” and various other songs across different genres. All audio tracks will be released simultaneously on various music platforms at 1 p.m. on May 29th, with the physical album also being made available on the same day.

The pop-up project celebrating aespa’s comeback is of unprecedented scale. Named “aespa WEEK-MAKE IT LEMONADE,” it will take place from May 29th to June 7th in the Yeouido and Banpo areas of Seoul. It goes beyond a simple indoor pop-up store to become a large-scale project expanded across Seoul’s landmarks such as Han River Park. Starting with the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain in Banpo Han River Park (May 29th–30th), event booths and experience zones will operate in Yeouido Han River Park (May 29th–31st) and throughout the area until June 7th. At these locations, visitors can enjoy various activities such as free can holders and media wall installations. An immersive space visually representing the concept of the second full album “Lemonade” will be set up at IFC Mall in Yeouido, along with MD products, group photos, name stickers, and other interactive events for guests to participate in.

This project by aespa extends beyond Seoul to a global scale as well. Pop-ups will be held simultaneously in Los Angeles and New York in the United States, as well as in Shenzhen in China, with additional global pop-ups scheduled to open sequentially in over six major cities worldwide, including Bangkok in Thailand, Tokyo in Japan, and Taipei. Fans are eagerly anticipating how aespa’s musical growth, proven through their collaboration with G-Dragon, and their further strengthened world view will be expressed through this second full album.
