As girl group aespa enters its third year since debuting in 2020, fans are raising questions about the group's absence from coveted Master of Ceremonies (MC) roles on popular music shows and events.
In contrast, even their company junior, RIIZE's Sohee, has recently been confirmed as an MC for M!Countdown, leading to increased curiosity about aespa's overlooked opportunity.
Despite differing opinions, there is a consensus among fans that seeing aespa as MCs, even as guest MCs, would be a welcome development.
Netizens' Reaction
Here are some netizens' reactions sourced from the online platform Instiz regarding the controversy surrounding the girl group aespa:
"I looked forward to it alone and was disappointed..."
"Even though I'm not a fan, I thought it was a spoiler because it was a random challenge,"
"I guess the broadcasting company didn't want it"
"I don't like it~~"
"But I wish Espa would go on variety shows rather than MC. Haha, because the kids are fun. Haha, like Yena from Yeocho Class"
"That's a different stone and not Espa. If I kept comparing it to other stones, I would have ordered it a long time ago"
"The timing probably wasn't right. It's not that they didn't do it. Of course, the casting came in"
Comments on online platforms suggest that while some believe it's up to the broadcasters to decide, others hope for the right timing for aespa to step into the MC spotlight.
Furthermore, as aespa's career progresses, fans remain eager to witness the group take on new challenges, with the hope that MC opportunities will soon be a part of their growing repertoire in the entertainment industry.
