Last year, the quartet also debuted unreleased solo tracks during their ‘SYNK: Hyper Line’ tour: Karina with ‘Menagerie’, ‘Wake Up’ by NingNing, ‘2HOT4U’ by Giselle and an untitled ballad by Winter. All four songs have yet to be officially released.

Next week, aespa will play their first international dates of the ‘SYNK: Parallel Line’ tour in Japan, followed by shows in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia in the coming months. The tour comes just a month after aespa released their first studio album ‘Armageddon’.

In a four-star review of the record, NME’s Rhian Daly praised its more experimental tracks, writing that “when aespa are allowed to run free in the sounds and sonics they’ve made their trademark, they’re nothing short of exquisite.”
