‘Savage’ first win

As the group continues to dominate charts, aespa is making it known to the world that they are here to stay by taking their first music show win for the song ‘Savage’, without having any official promotions for the song yet as their label will only begin promotional activities next week. On October 13, aespa’s ‘Savage’ took its first music show win at MBC’s ‘Show Champion’. ‘Savage’ is the title track of aespa's first mini-album of the same name released on October 5 and has already broken many records since its release.

Other than aespa, ITZY's 'Loco', N.Flying's 'Sober', Jo Yuri's 'Glassy', and Woodz’s 'Waiting' were running for the first place. aespa won at the show, but members of the group did not attend the showcase for MBC’s 'Show Champion'. They sent a recorded VCR message to the presenters in which they thanked their fans and their team for always loving and supporting them. They promised to make an appearance in the future and asked fans to keep an eye out for them and hoped fans would continue to love their performances to come.

With the song, the group sticks to their trademark pattern which has now proved to be a recipe for success. The trap genre song is centered on drums and bass as well as distinctive rap and powerful ad-libs; addictive hooks and chords do the trick of making the song come out as powerful, which is now showing on the charts.

'Next Level power, aespa'

Fans of the girl group were quick to congratulate them on their successful win despite no official promotions for the song. One fan said, "SAVAGE FIRST WIN EVEN BEFORE THEY STARTED PROMOTING ??? NEXT LEVEL POWER." Another fan said, "Black Mamba took months to take its first win and unfortunately Forever & Next Level didn't get any. But Savage is already bagging a win a week since its release. The youngest showing the others how it's done."

One more fan manifested, "Proud of my girls, next level got her revenge now the girls have a win and many more coming." One fan congratulated the girls saying, "Yeesss! Congrats my babies."
