Aespa called 'fourth-gen reps' after MMA success, second US TV interview announced
As the girl group, aespa bagged three awards at the 2021 AAA on December 2 and four awards at the 2021 MMA on December 4 this year, they are proving to be more than just any rookie group in the K-pop industry. The four-member girl group from SM Entertainment debuted in November 2020 and has been unstoppable ever since. Starting with their first big award for the year 2021, aespa bagged their first Daesang (Grand Prize) at the 2021 Asian Artist Awards becoming the first fourth-gen group to win a Daesang and also the first-ever girl group to do so.
At the 2021 AAA, aespa won the titles of ‘Rookie of the Year’ as well as ‘Hot Trend Award’ while also winning their first-ever Daesang, ‘Stage of the Year’, and the group followed that big win by giving fans a no-breather by taking four wins at the 2021 MMA (Melon Music Awards). Aespa won the awards for ‘Rookie of the Year’, ‘Top 10 of the Year’, ‘Best Group Female’ as well as their second Daesang of the year for ‘Record of the Year’.
