Aespa’s “Rich Man” Era: K-Pop’s Boldest Girl Gang Flexes Self-Made Power

Forget chasing some fantasy prince—aespa just dropped their sixth mini-album “Rich Man” and it’s all about betting on yourself. Karina said it best: “I’m already a rich man because I trust and love myself.” The title track rides in on snarling guitar riffs, slaps you with dance energy, and leaves you feeling like you own the damn world. It’s empowerment disguised as a flex, and it’s landing hard.

The Tracklist Hits Different

Each song pulls from a different lane, keeping the vibe fresh but still very aespa. “Drift” whistles with hip-hop swagger, “Bubble” pops drum ‘n’ bass like a fake friend’s mask cracking, and “Count On Me” floats in dreamy R&B heartbreak-healing mode. Y2K-coded “Angel #48,” produced by UK’s LDN Noise, feels like hyperpop heaven. They close with “To The Girls,” a glitter-drenched pep talk about pushing forward. This is aespa expanding their universe without losing the bite.

World Tour, World Domination

The numbers don’t lie—1.1 million pre-orders, another million-seller badge unlocked. But it’s not just charts. aespa is stacking history: Group of the Year at Billboard’s Women in Music, first K-pop girl group to headline Africa’s biggest festival, and now storming arenas with their 2025 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : aeXIS LINE. They opened with three sold-out nights in Seoul, and it’s only getting bigger.
