aespa Members' 2026 World Tour, Solo Songs, and Giselle's Recent Activities

aespa, comprising Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning, is actively engaged in 2026, generating significant buzz with a new world tour and the release of individual member solo songs. This period marks a focus on showcasing each member's distinct musical identity beyond their group activities, alongside their continued global expansion.

The group's '2026-27 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : COMPLaeXITY' commenced in August with a Seoul concert, subsequently touring Taiwan, South America, North America, and planning European dates for 2027. In September 2026, four solo digital singles were officially released: Karina's '16 Bit', Winter's 'Saddle Up', Giselle's 'ByeB4Hello', and Ningning's 'I Love You But I Gotta Let You Go', with Karina, Giselle, and Ningning contributing to lyrics or composition. Giselle, known for her rap and vocal roles, is highlighted for her unique low-toned delivery, and aespa also maintains a presence in Japan with activities related to 'KISS N TELL' and TV appearances. Additionally, their Seoul concert will be available on Samsung TV Plus.

Local bloggers emphasize that the solo releases offer a direct look into each member's musical personality, a departure from their collective sound. Giselle's distinct rap and vocal style is noted for its ability to shift the atmosphere of aespa's songs. However, Giselle's SNS posts have recently drawn online debate, with some images featuring motifs like guns, knives, or figures associated with criminals, including a T-shirt allegedly depicting serial killer Richard Ramirez, prompting discussions about the consumption of such imagery in fashion.
