K-pop hitmaker aespa is gearing up for a return with its fourth mini-album "Drama," set to drop on Nov. 10.
The much-anticipated six-track album features the title track, "Drama."
Previously, the girl group secured double-million seller status with their third mini-album "MY WORLD" making waves in the music scene in May. The album's success extended to clinching the top spot in the history of K-pop girl group sales during its debut week.
SM Entertainment, the agency representing aespa, conveyed their enthusiasm for the impending release in a recent press release.
"With the overwhelming popularity of the prior album's title track, 'Spicy,' we are excited to witness the fresh music and evolving personas that aespa will unveil in this new album," it stated.
Fans can get a head start by pre-ordering the album online and offline, commencing Oct. 11.
The talented quartet, consisting of members Giselle, Karina, Ningning and Winter, made their debut in November 2020. Following their debut hit, "Black Mamba," the group has consistently delivered chart-toppers, including "Next Level" (2021) and "Girls" (2022).
