About Aespa:

In 2024, aespa solidified their position at the top with their first full-length album “Armageddon,” which delivered a powerful, self-empowering message: “Only I can define myself.” They also achieved their third consecutive mega hit with “Whiplash,” an EDM track in the techno genre they tackled for the first time since debut. Sweeping major awards at numerous domestic and international music ceremonies, the group reached a new career high. 

About Flo Milli:

Flo Milli first gained attention on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok with her 2018 single “Beef FloMix.” She later broke into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Never Lose Me” and was recognized as one of “The 10 Hottest Female Rappers.” With nearly 1 billion streams to date, she displays her signature powerful rap style on “Dirty Work (Feat. Flo Milli),” creating a special synergy with aespa.

This year, aespa recently received the Group of the Year honor at Billboard Women in Music, for their groundbreaking achievements in music and international recognition.
