aespa Play "Never Have I Ever": Fan Cams, Forgotten Lyrics, and a Dorm That Was One Big Closet

The first prompt asks whether anyone has wanted to switch lives with another member for a day. One member's answer surprised the others. Her reason was simply that the member she'd swap with "sleeps so well."

The next prompt asks whether anyone has wanted to steal another member's solo song. Nobody has. One member explained that each of them picks her own songs for a reason. That led into a quick list of what she was currently listening to: "One Last Breath" by Creed, "The Healer" (the artist's name comes through in the transcript only as "Erykah"), "Blue Moon" by Billie Holiday, and a Daniel Caesar track she called "Superpower." Another member jokingly suggested Frank Ocean, and the first replied, "or Daniel Caesar, who knows?"

Asked whether they've listened to their own songs on repeat, one member said she once did something similar with Giselle. With nothing to do at home, the two put on aespa's old music videos.

The prompt about checking comments on their performances drew an enthusiastic answer from one member, who called it one of her hobbies. When the others asked whether she was serious, she said yes. She described it as a kind of monitoring: she reads the positive comments and the critical ones alike.

Asked whether anyone had borrowed another member's clothes without asking, the group went back to the days when they all lived in one dorm. One member said the whole house was basically a closet, with everyone's clothes mixed together. Asking first wasn't really a thing, and they'd just find things and say "Oh, that's mine." They admitted they don't know how they managed it, and another member had the answer: "It's called friendship."

The prompt about cringing at old aespa interviews got a firm yes. One member said they tend to "become cringe" in interviews outside Korea, and she insisted English isn't the only reason. Jet lag plays a part, and she said that "the broken English makes our personalities broken too." In other words, they start acting strangely. She added that she doesn't think being cringe is a bad thing. Another member agreed: "To be cringe is to be free." A third called it "kind of cute."

Everyone pointed at each other on the question of practicing choreography in a random public place. They confirmed it happened when they were trainees. They were rehearsing "Black Mamba," which was going to be their debut song, during the pre-debut period, and Ningning was the one filming. Ningning remembered being the person urging everyone on with "Please, please, please."

All of them have searched for their own fan cams. For viewers who might not know the term, they described it as a K-pop thing: a close-up video of a single member during a performance, so fans can watch their favorite or "focus on one person."

Sometimes they watch fan cams just for fun, and one member told a story to show why. She and another member (the transcript renders the name as "Aeri") released a song called "Lollipop," and both of them fell during their first stage. Smoke covered the stage, and they couldn't see the steps. They both tripped while singing, at exactly the same moment. She said it was really embarrassing.

The prompt about having done something they hoped the other members wouldn't bring up today led straight to a recent story. About three days before filming, at a concert, a mistake happened during the last song, "Supernova." The member explained that the original version of her part has the lyric "watch out," while the concert version uses "let's go." The two had blended together in her head, and she ended up singing something like "watch go." The others joked about it, but she said the moment made her really happy during the performance.

Everyone answered "duh" to forgetting the words to one of their own songs, and they started listing examples, partly by singing snippets. Titles and lines that came up included "Can't help myself," "Camouflage," "Twist it," and "Bubble." One member had forgotten her lyrics at Lollapalooza. The others pointed to the "Twist it, turn it, let me see" section as especially hard.

On muting the group chat, one member answered, "Always." When asked about the chat itself, they said its name "will always be a secret."

The prompt about pretending to be asleep to avoid talking to someone got only laughs and a round of mock toasts, with "Cheers" and "Salute."

The question about falling asleep during a music video shoot got a fuller explanation. One member said K-pop music videos take about two to four days to shoot. A typical day starts around 5 or 6 a.m. and runs into the next day, so in her words there's "no way" not to fall asleep.

The last prompt asked whether anyone had googled themselves after an interview. Once they'd counted down, one member predicted they would "make fun of this for sure," and the video ended there.
