This came out more than two months after their last comeback.
On Friday, September 5, K-pop group aespa unveiled its sixth mini-album entitled ‘Rich Man,’ which carries six songs including its title track.
The three-and-a-half-minute long music video for the lead single, which showcased an eccentric and interesting imagery, has reached more than 14 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours after it was uploaded.
The track list for the new mini-album also has five other songs, namely ‘Drift,’ ‘Bubble,’ ‘Count On Me,’ ‘Angel #48,’ and ‘To The Girls’.
‘Rich Man’ is the follow-up to the girl group’s earlier comeback in June for the single ‘Dirty Work,’ which debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Global 200 Chart.
The said EP is also their first release in conjunction with the Capitol Music Group, which partnered with SM Entertainment.
“We are thrilled to welcome aespa to the Capitol Music Group family and to work alongside our incredible partners at SM Entertainment,” said Tom March, Chairman & CEO of the Capitol Music Group.
He added, “aespa are one of the most innovative and exciting groups in music today, and we look forward to supporting their vision, amplifying their global reach, and helping them connect with even more fans around the world.”
SM Entertainment, through its CGO Choi Mina Jungmin, who also concurrently holds the position of Co-CEO of SMKEA, expressed their excitement about the teamup.
“With their signature metallic edge and immersive universe, aespa has earned global acclaim, and we look forward to seeing the group achieve even greater success and engage in more dynamic global activities together with Capitol, one of the world’s leading music labels,” she noted.
