SEOUL, March 27 (AJP) - K-pop girl group Aespa unveiled the English version of their hit song "Whiplash" on major music-streaming sites here on Thursday, in an effort to connect with more global fans.
The upbeat song, the lead track of their fifth mini album, gained popularity with its addictive melody and energetic dance moves, selling 1.02 million copies in just three weeks after its release in October last year.
In particular, the song's shimmy and shoulder-shaking dance went viral, with chorographical tutorials even circulating online among many K-pop fans.
Meanwhile, the quartet will perform the song for global fans as they are set to attend Billboard's annual music awards event scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, California this weekend, according to their agency SM Entertainment.
Marking its second year since inception, the nascent Billboard Women in Music honors influential female artists worldwide, and AESPA members – Winter, Karina, Ningning, and Giselle – were named this year's recipients of the "Group of the Year" award, given to a band.
In its article last week, the U.S. music magazine praised AESPA, calling them the outfit who "leveraged [their] niche into unprecedented crossover success."
