Besides their upcoming appearance at Governors Ball 2023, aespa are also set to go on 14-date a tour of Europe, US and Latin America later this year, as part of their 2023 ‘SYNK: Hyper Line’ world tour. It includes stops in the UK, Germany, Chile, Mexico and more.
In February, aespa held their first standalone ‘SYNK: Hyper Line’ concert at the Jamsil Arena in Seoul, South Korea, during which they also performed a number of unreleased group and solo songs. A number of those tracks have since been included in the girl group’s new mini-album ‘MY WORLD’.
Earlier this year, aespa also released the song ‘Hold On Tight’ for the soundtrack of the Apple TV+ original film Tetris, which also featured music by the Pet Shop Boys, DJ Aaron Hibell, ReN and more. The English song notably samples the signature song from the Tetris games.
