Kep1er member Kim Chae-hyun has revealed that aespa reached out to celebrate her debut with the rookie girl group.

During a recent online showcase and press conference for Kep1er’s debut, Kim shared that the four-member girl group had sent her a message to congratulate her on her debut. Notably, Kim had trained under aespa’s current agency, SM Entertainment, for about six years before leaving for WAKEONE sometime last year.

“The aespa sunbaenims (Korean for ‘seniors’) sent me a message congratulating me and saying, ‘Soon we’ll be able to see each other in the waiting rooms at the broadcasters’.

Kim also explained that although she hasn’t seen her former labelmates recently, due to their busy schedules, she is looking forward to seeing them when their respective groups appear on TV shows in the future.

This isn’t the first time Kep1er’s debut was celebrated by seniors in the K-pop industry. Durign the press conference, member Huening Bahiyyih shared that her older brother, Tomorrow X Together’s Hueningkai, has been very supportive of her debut: “He congratulated not only me but also my teammates, too. So I’m very grateful.”

The girl group made their debut yesterday (January 3) with the track ‘Wa Da Da’, which was accompanied by a vibrant music video. It’s the lead single of their first mini-album ‘First Impact’, which also features the group’s versions of Girls Planet 999 tracks ‘Shine’, ‘Another Dream’ and ‘O.O.O’.

Prior to their debut, however, the girl group had suspended all activities after a staff member who worked with them tested positive for COVID-19. WAKEONE and Swing Entertainment soon announced that Kep1er’s debut, which was originally slated for December 14, would be postponed to 2022.

A week later, the agencies announced that members Xiao Ting and Mashiro had been diagnosed with COVID-19. They shared that the two cases were detected by a “regular PCR testing”, which had been implemented following the aforementioned staff member’s positive diagnosis. The remaining members of Kep1er had tested negative.

Soo-Man Lee, the event’s chief producer, gave an opening speech that explained, “SMCU [SM Culture Universe] shares stories of each artist across the virtual space and reality. In other words, it is a concept that encompasses the worldview and the universe containing the identity of each team. KWANGYA, therefore, represents a new world that transcends and coexists without boundaries. This worldview is being newly named and developed as ‘Metaversal Origin Story’ and each artist’s ‘Metaversal Origin Story’ comes together, intersects and coexists with each other in KWANGYA, which will unfold a new world.”

With the release of SM Entertainment's new girl group unit GOT the beat featuring BoA, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon & Hyoyeon, Red Velvet's Seulgi & Wendy, and aespa's Winter & Karina, fans have taken to YouTube and social media to express concern over the group's promotions... or lack thereof.

Following their highly successful debut at SM Town Live 2022: SMCU Express at Kwangya, which amassed over 51 million viewers, and the release of their song Step Back and stage video, netizens have asked for a real MV and better promotions on par with their brother group SuperM.

Have you checked out GOT the beat debut song Step Back, and what do you think about SM's promotion of GOT?

GOT The Beat—made up of soloist BoA, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet’s Seulgi and Wendy, and aespa’s Winter and Karina—first performed “Step Back” on January 1 at SM Entertainment’s online concert SMTOWN LIVE 2022. The seven-member unit later uploaded their performance to YouTube, where the video has since surpassed 8 million views.

Despite the mainly warm reception for “Step Back,” the track’s lyrics have spawned a backlash for presenting what some critics hear as outdated, anti-feminist viewpoints. For starters, the song tells the story of a woman warning another to “step back” from a man she’s interested in.

On the opening verse, Taeyeon makes clear that there will be consequences if the other woman doesn’t leave her guy alone. She also takes aim at the woman’s value, implying that she’s not worthy of the man in question. Wendy seconds the notion that the other woman isn’t good enough on the pre-chorus, The chorus is where a lot of the backlash for the song has been directed. Some fans were not happy that the hook repeatedly puts down another woman for the attention of a man.
