GISELLE actually sings so good, she is so underrated.... KARINA'S deep vocal is my medicine, I am addicted to her voice.... WINTER'S unique and super stable vocal is a blessing to hear.... And NINGNING needs no introduction, she is the best!

[aeDRK]

No wonder they think Aespa lip sync all the time.... CAUSE OUR GIRLS REAL LIFE VOICE AND STUDIO VOICE HAVE NO DIFFERENCE.... Aespa is one of the best vocal group ever indeed!

You can tell their singing live cause giselle forgot to sing at 3:29 and winter and Karina both look at her like🤭 so she realised she missed it a little, so cute love these talented ladies🫶🏼

Giselle - Queen without her crown
