JAKARTA - The newest group SM Entertainment aespa shared their experiences of how they were recruited by the SM agency and became trainees.

Guest on Choi Hwa Jung's Power Time on SBS PowerFM, all four aespa members; Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning shared the story with listeners.

Among the four members, only Giselle became a trainee through the open auditions that SM Entertainment regularly holds. Meanwhile, the other three members were recruited by the casting manager.

“I appeared on various singing programs in China, and someone from an agency said he wanted to cast after watching a video of my performance. To be honest, I thought they were con artists at first, ”Ningning said with a laugh.

Winter also experienced a similar incident where he was recruited while appearing at a dance festival. “I also thought it was a scam because the casting manager didn't mention them from SM Entertainment. They just asked me if I wanted to be a celebrity. "

Karina also suspected a hoax after a private message entered her social media account. "Before joining SM, I was active on social media and the casting manager sent me messages."

Besides that, aespa also shared memories of their trainee days. They often buy food together and play songs and dance every Saturday.

"We went through a tough process to get to where we were after eating snacks and bread but things like that are fun," said Karina.

Aespa made his debut on November 17th with the song Black Mamba. Currently, his music video has been watched by more than 70 million views.
