Unlike many K-Pop groups, the members of aespa found out about their lineup only shortly before their debut. They previously mentioned that they “didn’t know” that it would be the four of them debuting together.

This quick finalization of the lineup did not mean they had an awkward relationship. In fact, they got closer to each other in record time. How they did so was brought up during their interview with MTV Asia.

Continuing tradition, they’re still frequently spotted as a group even if they don’t have any official schedules on that day.
