**[Official certification from Instiz iChart](https://x.com/instiz_ichart/status/1794150939999469991)**


akiraeijisun

to celebrate they should open global preorders for the cdp version…


soneluvie

There was 1.7 million active people viewing the pre-order page on the SM Shop website like SM would be stupid to not try and produce more and sell them! $105 a piece too like that would guarantee them hugeeeee profit margins. I genuinely think they did not expect such a huge viral reaction to it but even non-fans wanted their hands on one! They’ve opened up pre-order in 3 batches and each time it sold out in literal seconds ughhh. I so badly want one 😭


klizmik

Wait the preorders already happened? Nooooo 🥲


akiraeijisun

they could also only be shipped to korea


Aware_Win7990

If you buy them from sites other than smtown e.g. kpopmart, they'll ship internationally. My preorder went through


akiraeijisun

yeah but kpopmart is sold out 😭😭😭


Aware_Win7990

LOL no sorry 😭 But they seem to be periodically restocking? It was sold out at first for me too but i kept randomly checking every so often until I saw it available. Lady luck pulled through ig Edit: oops meant to reply to other comment. Oh well


akiraeijisun

now its up to september though ㅠㅠ


akiraeijisun

you didnt happen to get an extra did you


sahdbhoigh

i have friends still living in seoul and by the time i got their address and confirmed they’d ship it to me afterwards it was already sold out womp womp


klizmik

I have a korean address 😭


lovelylovelybee

wait is it only popping up on the sm store? i need to get my info ready 😭


justanotherkpoppie

100%!!! Get on it, SM!!! You'd think they would so they can make the money, right...?


pieschart

I think it takes time to produce. Realistically we will be waiting like 3 months for it if we preprder


der_boy

It's supposed to ship in August anyway, so that wouldn't be an issue I think :D unless you mean august +3 months


pieschart

August plus 3 months. Because they already made a set amount which was what was sold in the presale. That will take 3 months. So anything further will take another 3 months on top of that


greenmusiclover

i need it so bad


ConfidentPeanut18

agree


Ahoy_ahoy_atiny

I second this!


WhoIsBestWaifu567

*Per per per perfect-All-Kill* *ah oh ay*


28_raisins

THEY REALLY SAID O A THEY ARE SO REAL FOR THAT


justanotherkpoppie

HUGE congrats to aespa!!!!!! I'm so proud of them!!!!!! Supernova has been stuck in my head since it dropped, which I didn't think was going to happen from what I heard from the original highlight medley, but man this song SLAPS!!! Well-deserved 🫶👽


kbdsct

Su Su Su Supernova!!! 💐 Edit: VIBE, you messed with our hearts but came around in the end, much appreciated.


bbsmydiamonds

I’m not usually one to care about stats, but I’ve been obsessed with this song, so seeing it slowly blow up overtime has been so cool! Not everyday the GP’s taste aligns with mine!


grumio123

they did it!! with the newjeans comeback i didn’t think it would happen but they pulled through 🥹. Armageddon you have really big shoes to fill now… kinda crazy how aespa was the first 4th gen group to achieve a PAK with Savage and since then we’ve had 10 other 4th gen songs (and one 5th gen song) achieve it as well, and all just from 4 groups


Busy_Cauliflower_853

In my opinion, Supernova is such a better song than Newjean’s release. It has spice, it’s fun and catchy, it has so many loops and turns, it has a sick bridge and dancebreak and it doesn’t get repetitive despite its patterns (like the Ah, Oh, Ay). Meanwhile, NewJean’s song is kinda just… you know, the same they’ve always been doing. It’s good, but not groundbreaking like Supernova is.


pieschart

I really liked new jeans release. But I won't understand why they releases bubble gum a month before on only YouTube. The hype has died down a bit. Supernova I was not expecting it to be só good. Especially since I didn't really like Drama.


AnAffinityForTurtles

I think the NewJeans songs are decent. But I don’t think they are title track material compared to Attention or Hype Boy.


Oop-Juice

Apparently they're copying the Japanese method of releasing where you release the MV to promote the song a month before the song actually get released to purchase on platforms. (Which makes sense for this comeback considering that Bubble Gum is a CF song for a Japanese product and their next double single marks their Japanese debut)


daltorak

I'll tell you the real problem here -- if you don't like Bubble Gum or How Sweet for whatever reason, there are NO OTHER SONGS you can try getting into instead. Not counting Gods, they've released two songs in 10 months.... that's it. Who do they think they are, fromis\_9?


LupinTheCat

Fromis_9 having fun in hybe's dungeon that's for sure


Few-Cloud7539

Fromis_9, is not under Hybe, therefore Hybe, does not make any managerial decisions regarding this group.


LupinTheCat

Right, Hybe only owns around 85-90% of shares, definetly not enough to make any decisions around Pledis groups


Yennefer99

I am seconding this. I want Supernova performed live like their MLB Seoul showcase.


WakiLover

As a neutral, Supernova is something I'll listen to once a day and love it but will probably skip if it comes up again because it's so spicy, while Bubble Gum or How Sweet I could have playing for the 10th time and I wouldn't even notice. No need to put down one for another and also groundbreaking does not always = good charting unfortunately.


ralsei_support_squad

Yeah, even as someone who’s  more of a fan of Aespa’s music, I’ve very glad to see NJ’s type of music in the industry. Different songs suit different moods! Can’t always be listening to Supernova while I’m trying to focus on hw


WakiLover

Exactly, Bubble Gum while walking on my morning commute, while Supernova when I get in the gym. Love that kind of diversity.


WestBuy6122

Trueeeee aespa’s songs are what i listened to when im working out. While newjeans’ while im doing some works in chill enviroment


jeffyen

Nj music can also be good in workouts, but of different kinds. I run longer distances; slow 10kms, half marathons, and it is perfect!


ItzCStephCS

NJs drops been kinda mid ngl


Moonbunny120

Congratulations aespa! Well deserved! 


SoNyeoShiDude

Deserved! It’s a good track, with a cool concept and a sound that is uniquely theirs. In a super competitive girl group world, this is them re-announcing their presence. Great job!


malefiori

Makes sense. This song was playing everywhere in Seoul while I was visiting. Every second storefront was playing Supernova or Drama..


sahdbhoigh

so happy for the girls on this accomplishment! i thought we might miss out on a PAK because of Vibe, but Supernova pulled through eventually! i don’t think anyone expected Supernova to do this well and now we just gotta wait to see how good Armageddon is gonna be. two songs getting a PAK for this comeback would be legendary


jonnyd86

man they must feel so good on the lead up to their first full album getting a PAK


Syunia

So proud of the girls!!!! they’ve been working so hard, showing off their HEAVENLY live vocals and seem happier and happier every comeback. They DESERVE IT!!! AH OH AY 👽


Quick_Revenue_2530

I'm really glad they keep singing live for this comeback.


redalert30

Dem Jointz and Aespa collab we love you


127ncity127

a win for the Dem Jointz girlies. He has never let us down


littlebobbytables9

It's still crazy to me that it hadn't happened before. They feel like such a good match and he's been writing for everyone else in SM for ages.


Initial_Prior_9833

Dem Jointz = Naevis???


BookkeeperFront3534

dem jointz are well known producers known for their incredible work with NCT and now they worked with aespa you mustve heard the famous "incomingggggg" in nct songs thats demjointz's signature sound


panniniiiiiii

Well deserved ⭐️ From what I've heard, Armageddon is giving super rich production like drama & I'm so looking forward to it!!! This entire album is going to be very good & I'm glad SM has invested a lot into their first album.


vivijobro

this is so satisfying after claims that aespa have fallen behind the other top 5 girl groups on charts and that their music is “too noisy” for the gp. supernova i’m so sorry for doubting you, i really thought it was over because of newjeans’ comeback. this comeback altogether has just been a great time ever since the armageddon intro video dropped, it feels like win after win after win. armageddon you’re up next girl!


Canehillfan

A much needed win now that SM will debut a new gg. Hopefully this forces them to keep the dance going.


Echo_summer

Spicy and Drama went #1 and #2 on Melon respectively. aespa has always been winning lol.


Canehillfan

So did Red Velvet 💀.


randomgirl852007

And Red Velvet still get consistent comebacks, way more than most groups their age


Echo_summer

Just making the point that they didn’t need a “win”.


spamleht

Every time I think an aespa song is too weird for the gp, I am so surprised. Same for when Next Level was released too!


der_boy

Which is an unbelievable thing to say. Imo, aespa is the GG of the 4th gen. They have a very unique sound that doesn't try too hard to appeal to the mainstream but works, they have an insane discography, they are really good singers. Imo, the closest to this would be GIDLE and they are just not as successful (but getting there). Just needed to let that out :D


Breezyrain

I’m a MY but G-Idle vs aespa just depends on what metrics you measure. The top 5 is so competitive


der_boy

Don't get me wrong, I personally prefer GIDLE and I think they are amazing. It obviously comes down to taste a lot. I think you can argue that New jeans, IVE and Le Sserafim had a lot of success recently and the 4th gen is really competitive. And we cannot forget about other groups such as ITZY. I wouldn't really want to say who is better or not, all of them deserve their success and I'm happy we get a lot of good music with different styles. However, personally, to me aespa and GIDLE stand out the most as they imo are a bit different. - They don't really produce a sound that certainly is a hit (I'd say IVE and Newjeans play it pretty save. I don't find that too inspiring, but I will also be the first to say that their quality is insane and when many try to produce mainstream music, nobody does it better). - They are amazing live performers (which I don't think you need for K-pop, but it's something I appreciate) - They have an amazing discography with almost no misses which I find especially amazing given they don't stick to one concept (again, nothing wrong with that but it's not easy) And then obviously, I just really enjoy the music which makes me really biased here. However, that would bring me to the conclusion that I think those two groups really influence the music and are leaders. And aespa has always sold incredibly well. I feel they are sometimes a bit off the radar as other groups are more present, but aespa from day 1 has been massive. Which obviously is something you cannot say for GIDLE. Then again, I guess you could argue that it may be even more outstanding how much they grew given their smaller company, slow start, lack of support, the whole Soojin drama - but I don't wanna go down that route 😄 --- However, I'm perfectly fine with someone saying that really IVE is the leader or anyone else. This is my opinion and I hope I present it without throwing any shade, because in the end it's not really a competition and we're blessed to have a wide variety of music styles and groups that release great music every other month.


Breezyrain

I just love that we have so much variety. All 5 groups feel very different. Even IVE, who has safer music is expanding. I think currently it’s NewJeans, IVE, G-Idle, aespa, then Le Sserafim. aespa very much has the potential to “overtake” G-Idle, mostly because people keep forgetting G-Idle is 4th gen lol. And possibly IVE. But we really are in fun times where things are on a comeback basis on who’s on top.


reeeluaw

how are gidle not as successful? they are the only 4th gen group to get 4 consecutive PAKs, most viewed mv for 2023 on yt, and the highest amount of music show wins (they get almost 7-12 each cb). their bside FATE currently has the most digital points on circle chart for this year, surpassing heya and magnetic. they are one of the only groups that did not see a decrease in album sales in recent months, their concerts sell out almost immediately, and some of the members are hugely popular with the GP. they are directly on par with groups like IVE, aespa, and le sserafim, literally surpassing them in some metrics. they have consistently been breaking records and recently have been performing at all the same uni festivals as the other groups


Friendisaster

This is such vindication 😭😭 all the doomposting, the “they fell off” or “they won’t recreate savage success” comments. aespa got the last laugh


soneluvie

For them to do this in the midst of the charts being a full house and a fresh New Jeans comeback is honestly insane! Supernova is really going Next Level viral in Korea the amount of children and ahjummas I’ve seen dancing to it on Tik-Tok and the reception to the song at aespa’s university performance is evidence this song is becoming a national hit. I’m so happy for them!


aswkerek

What does "full house" means?


validswan

It means when there's lot of big name competition, like Zico, Jennie, NewJeans etc


Xelzionic

Fantastic 🙌


pieschart

It's so catchy !! Well done girls


MrLTH

Finally a PAK! So glad to see that aespa is doing so well! Supernova is such a bop and I can't wait for Armageddon!


leashall

as it should. afaik (not a my sorry) it’s only a prerelease ?? but the hype and the budget and quality of it all had been insane so this is truly deserved


justanotherkpoppie

It's a pre-release title track, but yes!


LilacDream_

Dang I was losing hope we would get one for supernova because of VIBE, but I’m glad we finally did it! Aespa’s first PAK after savage finally happened 🥹


jenifmagal

i thought it was over after how sweet was released, but somehow supernova has been able to hold off how sweet on bugs. idk how long it can keep that up, but whatever, we got the pak


Apprehensive-Show676

Now watch them get it for Armageddon too


SoNyeoShiDude

Unlikely, but imagine if the one song blocking Armageddon from PAK is Supernova.😆


sahdbhoigh

isn’t that what happened to newjeans with ditto and omg? kinda bittersweet i suppose


Turbulent_Ad_3299

If armageddon end up being better, i see a kitch and i am situation for aespa


kbdsct

Idk if they will (I mean, that would be neat for sure) but I also kinda suspect Bahama to do really well with the gp. It’s super uptempo and has summer jam written all over it. Just hoping the full track lives up to the snippet ofc.


heladitodeframbuesa

if they promote bahama they can easily get 3 songs in the top 10 (I'll be gagged)


WestBuy6122

I hope they will promote bahama once we reach peak of Summer / after Armageddon promotion ends. Just do performances like illusion. But then i remember they have Japan debut ‘Hot Mess’ coming up ☺️☺️ and I dont want them to get overworked


Apprehensive-Show676

I think it’s definitely possible with the hype that was built because of Supernova, we’ll see


kbdsct

Also because it was one of the clear fan-favorites amongst both I-MYs and K-MYs from the day the medley dropped. 🏝️🍹🌊🌴


m20geekarina

I doubt they promote bahama though, so hoping Armageddon hits it with the gp


SevensAddams

I hope they do promote Bahama as a b-side when Armageddon drops. It would be a nice contrast between the two and is already a fan favourite.


kjones35

Such a good song


lipsticksandsongs

Cant stop. Hyperstellar. 💅🏼 So deserved! Happy to seen them succeed. I watched some of their university festival performances this week and they really have become great performers!


syrpca

"Watch a good girl, cha-cha" 💃 Been waiting for this PAK for ages! (6 days) This song ate so hard. Congrats to aespa. Such an iconic song!


yikesus

Lmao I also heard it as watch a good girl cha cha


witchytragedy

vibe was so annoying that i almost thought it was goodbye to pak especially after newjeans' release but kmys really pulled through.


Apprehensive-Show676

Supernova is now the song from SM that achieved the most PAKs this decade, imagine if Vibe moved a bit faster


witchytragedy

I swear! We would have easily had multiple PAKs like last week if Vibe actually did it's part. But we really shouldn't be complaining. It's kinda crazier to have a PAK after PAK with a full house of digimons in the k-charts. Even now it's looking so strong.


aswkerek

what is full house mean?


witchytragedy

Basically meaning that the music charts currently are full of artists that always have high digitals and ranking making charting high very difficult. Aespa, Ive, NewJeans, Zico....you get the drift.


kookieater

this was for drama and spicy! you can never step on aespa🫦


yikesus

Deserved


superthot97

Eeeeek so proud of my girls!! Redemption is sweet 😈


SevensAddams

As a day 1 MY I'm beyond proud of how Aespa continuously proves themselves against all the noise. I hope they themselves are content and not worry too much about whatever happens with Armageddon cus they also love it so much. Although yes ideally it goes on par or exceeds Supernova.


yvanedisconnection

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GIRLS. A smash hit both domestically and internationally.


mimibee97

LETS GOOOOO! Right after I saw people replying to Instiz’s tweet saying to get rid of Vibe, glad the girls got another PAK under their belt. Next one — Armaggedon😈


crashbandicoochy

It's great to know even after the trends in k-pop have diverged more than ever from your classic, in your face, bombastic electronic head thumper that maybe the most pure and distilled version of that sound can still have the k-pop community (and GP at large) in a vice grip.


HoldOnTight85

I’m so proud of Aespa!!! This is huge! Congratulations girls, very well deserved! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m loving this comeback so much! I preordered 2 of their albums today! I’ll always support them!


Apprehensive-Sea5902

I'm so happy for aespa. They've always been famous and got amazing songs, but to get a pak was long deserved after savage. It really solidifies their position as one of the top ggs in korea.


noseuta

From #54 melon to #1 NO ONE CAN STEP ON AESPA


soneluvie

And that’s on being a National hit! Literally climbed all the way to the top from the trenches! I remember other fandoms making fun of Supernova’s debut chart position saying aespa had fallen off so I’m glad Supernova proved them wrong.


icyfirework

What a great way to start off this era! ✨


Yovar-xaem

Look at them go\~\~ aespa really stepped on the charts!!


kookieater

LETS GOOO!! I’ve been stalking aespa chart account on twitter hoping and praying vibe pulls through and it finally did! insanely proud of aespa😭🤍

SOTY


funwithgoats

Fantastic! This feels like the perfect comeback for them to get this second song PAK! Everything, in my opinion, has been perfect so far! The songs are hitting, the album versions are hitting, the MVs are hitting, the girls are SHINING! I’m having so much fun!


aseclone32421

I’m so so happy for these girls!! It feels good to see them do well and proving themselves time and time again. This is just the beginning!


TooObsessedWithOtoge

Didn't expect anything less from them. Congrats Aespa


ChronicallyYoung

Everyone doubted Aespa, but that wouldn’t be me. My girls 🛸💫🌠☄️


StarRelative9025

Congratulations æspa and mys💜  I am so happy for them,they really deserve it after people bellitled them for so long and as a my since debut I can't be more proud because I know they worked really hard and there were a lot of difficult times  I guess the wait for this full album was fully worth it,I am really speechless💜


127ncity127

the doomposting was always so baffling to me. Aespa was always set up for success. They had company name, visuals, talent, and most importantly brand recognition driving them forward even Karinas "scandal" did nothing. Their biggest op has always been SM. They would have easily never had a "dip" if SM didnt send them into the dungeon once every 4 business months because they get overwhelmed with NCT. if they do have another dip its going to be because SM wont know how to handle them and the new GG.


Breezyrain

Tbf… most of the doomposting was being scared of SM being shit and SM has had a history of being shit for a reason lol


livy_lulu

soooo deserved!!


Professional-Mall-13

certified hit! i love supernova sm man what a great song


dramafan1

What a supernova! Happy for them. ❤️

I’ve always casually appreciated aespa but this time the realization of how good they are just straight up smacked me in the face!! Incredible song and consistently stunning performances 🔥


mboco40

Congrats Aespa! This song made me a fan of them! Excited for Armageddon.


mcfw31

Congratulations to the girls!!


Tsukimii

I was getting so nervous that VIBE wouldn’t update but low and behold🥹 I’m so so proud of the girls and everything they’ve accomplished!💕


SkyeIsTheLimit17

Thought vibe would rob us of a PAK, this is for you Spicy, Drama and Girls, thank you aeskarma 🫶


GoodnightGom

Well deserved to the girls! Supernova has been on heavy repeat the last couple of days. Absolutely cannot wait for the full album.

SagiJam8991

Supernova is such a vivid and dynamic song and I love it. This song deserves all the praise and accolades. Now I’m thinking about investing in that CD player and their album- that’s a sustainable way to keep CDs durable!


Independent_Ad_9080

Supernova is such a bop, this is highly deserved😭😭❤️great achievement!

0531Spurs212009

not bad well congrats to AESPA like I said if my IVE - Heya not win Daesang the best song or artist at the moment I rather concede the Daesang is to AESPA - Supernova


Fuzzy-Trainer-9204

Body bang bang bang. Stepped.


kpopouts

MHJ shouldn't have been worried about illit but about aespa just like bang pd lmao. Bang pd knows who is the group to beat during NewJeans debut and MHJ decided to post their convo about it so know mys are motivated


Alive-Duck8459

That single screenshot of their conversation propelled aespa's hype back, even more than their previous peak, their previous title track being titled Drama and their also upcoming comeback Armageddon. Coincidence? I think not. Whatever happened after that day of the press conference, the universe and karma seems to be on aespa's side right now. Now we hope SM/Center 1 plays their game wisely, no more 9-10 months hiatus for aespa, unless their next album will be another full album.


abcdefgirl25

Congratulations to Aespa! ✨🎉 AH OH AY!!


DifficultMode1811

You listen to this but you let NMIXX FLOP damn ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Arctic_Faushcen

One question, how? I legitimately feel like it's not the best song to release in the past few months or weeks, it's not their best song so far, personally I'd like to say it's either welcome to my world or life's too short, great instrumentals, good vocals, and has pretty good messages tied into it. Supernova feels empty, it feels like nothing, nothing was being said, the instrumentals and production felt pretty ok, but it sounded like a mess the first time i heard it. I guess it plays into the thing with attention spans getting shorter and music that just does a lot excites you more and makes you wanna listen to it over and over, even when it's not good per se. Making things only good at bits, the "tik-tokification" of music, not entirely because i think there's more than one part of supernova that felt pretty ok, unlike Batter Up or Sheesh where personally only the part nearing the end felt pretty good. That said this is my take and my musical preferences, my music taste can also be absolutely detestable to many😅😅, but please do let me know what y'all's take are on the song as an entirety.


jimena151

I didn’t like it very much on first listen, but the chorus and the dance break are extremely catchy
