aespa’s Concert Faces Strong Criticism Due To A Specific Segment
Recently, aespa concluded their SYNK: PARALLEL LINE tour with two nights of encore concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul.
The girl group delivered power-packed performances to an audience of thousands, including many A-list Korean celebrities, making their concert a hot topic.
But one aspect of aespa’s latest concerts has garnered widespread criticism from many attendees and netizens alike.
Naevis, the virtual idol who is also a part of aespa’s original lineup, had a solo performance segment during aespa’s concerts. Notably, Naevis first made her on-stage appearance during the initial phase of aespa’s tour and made her official debut a few months later with “Done.”

Though Naevis’s performance has been a part of aespa’s recent tour since the beginning, it was significantly changed to match the vibe of the encore concerts. According to a viral post on Instiz, the new song performed by the virtual idol was not well-fit for the concert. Many netizens agreed with the post, venting their own dissatisfaction with the inclusion of Naevis in aespa’s concerts.
- “This is genuinely funny as hell.”
- “Ugh.”
— “Seriously, packaging Naevis with aespa is too much.” - “Someone please mess up her code.”
- “But I think adults like that kind of stuff (AI, NFT) and find it interesting. The problem is that the executives are also of that age.”
- “Please take her out of the next concert.”
Meanwhile, Naevis has always been a highly divisive figure among aespa fans. You can read more about the public’s reaction to the virtual idol here:
