As customary after winning a music show award, aespa held an encore stage, where they performed their song live with no backing vocals. From the first line, aespa showcased their amazing live vocal ability. Leader Karina was even heard chuckling during her first line but still managed to deliver her opening flawlessly.

At the start, they were also seen bowing down to fellow artists who were on stage for the winner's announcement.

Out of all the members, Winter was the one who earned the most praise. This is because, in April, it was announced the idol suffered from a collapsed lung. The idol underwent surgery for it and was back to promoting with aespa a month later. It was noted that despite the possible shortening of her practice time, she still sounded amazing.

As several fourth and fifth-generation K-pop groups have garnered backlash for their vocals, netizens believe aespa is a breath of fresh air due to their ability to not only sing live but sing live well. Others commented that it is "fun" to support a group that knows how to sing, mentioning that they never have to worry about a controversy related to their vocals.

aespa is expected to win even more music show trophies this year, not just with "Supernova" but with their upcoming release, "Armageddon." With that, fans are excited to watch more of the group's encore stages.

On May 13, aespa unveiled the music video for "Supernova," serving as a pre-release to their upcoming full-length album, "Armageddon," set to launch on May 27 along with its titular single.

In June 2024, aespa will begin their second world tour, "SYNK: Parallel Line," starting with two performances in Seoul.
