Aespa has proven its hot popularity in the Greater China region. For two consecutive years, they have made it onto the local year-end charts.

China's largest music platform, Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), recently announced its "2025 First Half Year-End Chart" on its website. Aespa set the record for the most entries on the Korean chart (534 times) and also achieved the most number one spots (20 times). They were also listed in the "Best Group" category.

The title track of their fifth mini album, "Whiplash," has also made it onto major charts. This song ranked in the top 10 of the year-end "Hot" chart for the first half of the year. They have been loved locally with their latest work, "Dirty Work," achieving number one in five categories on QQ Music, including digital album and rising charts.

They are continuing this momentum. They are preparing to release a new album aiming for next September. This comeback, just three months after "Dirty Work," solidifies their global presence.

Meanwhile, Aespa will participate in "KCON LA 2025" next month.
