[Sports Seoul | Reporter Choi Seung-seop] aespa member Karina revealed striking behind-the-scenes photos from a recent shoot as the group prepares to drop its second full-length album. <\/p>\n

On May 11, Karina posted stills from the music video shoot for her new single “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” to her personal social accounts. <\/p>\n

The newly released images expand aespa’s “global hero” universe while showcasing a deeper, more distinct side of Karina. <\/p>\n

In the photos, a green laser-grid pattern crosses her face and body as she stares directly into the lens. Coupled with the song’s mechanical, futuristic sound, the visuals create the impression of a character stepping out of a virtual world into reality. Changes in lighting tilt her between icy charisma and a dreamlike mood, underscoring her ability to inhabit diverse concepts. <\/p>\n

The styling and props are striking as well. Karina pairs a form-fitting bodysuit with metallic-textured accessories and long, braided hair. In several shots, glowing red eyes and mechanically detailed skin convey an otherworldly, intense vitality that fits the title “Whole Different Animal.” <\/p>\n

aespa kicked off their comeback by releasing the pre-release single “WDA” at 6 p.m. on May 11. <\/p>\n

Their second full-length album, LEMONADE, is scheduled for release on the 9th at 1 p.m. thunder@sportsseoul.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
