Aespa has completed preparations to conquer Japan. On the 3rd, Aespa released their Japanese debut single, "Hot Mess." They unveiled the title track of the same name along with the songs "Zoom Zoom" and "Sun & Moon." The title track, "Hot Mess," is a dance track characterized by its signature saxophone sound and gritty rap, conveying a message of living confidently as oneself. "Zoom Zoom" is an uptempo song that was pre-released as the ending theme for the Japanese animation "Beyblade X." "Sun & Moon" is a mellow R&B genre song. Along with their new album activities, Aespa will also embark on an arena tour. Starting on the 6th in Fukuoka, they will hold concerts in four cities in Japan under the tour name "Synk: Parallel Line." They have proven their global ticket power. Tickets for this tour sold out immediately after they went on sale, and additional performances at Tokyo Dome also achieved a two-show sellout. Meanwhile, on the 6th, Aespa will hold "Synk: Parallel Line" at Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A in Fukuoka, Japan.
