Seoul, South Korea — Global sensation aespa has officially secured their first music show win for “WDA (Whole Different Animal) (feat. G-DRAGON)” on KBS Music Bank, broadcast on June 5th! The triumphant moment has sent international Fandom into a celebratory frenzy, marking a significant milestone for the group and the track featuring K-Pop icon G-DRAGON.
The win for “WDA,” a track from their latest album, came as a delightful surprise to many fans, who quickly pointed out its incredible chart performance. One ecstatic fan commented, “Congrats 🎉 I’m guessing WDA has higher charting so that got the album sales over the title track? Congrats to the girls and to G-Dragon! 🩷🩷🩷🩷!!!” This sentiment was echoed across social media, with MYs expressing immense pride and relief. “So so happy for them!!! I was worried it wasn’t going to happen, this is amazing. Nice going MYs ♡♡♡” another fan shared, highlighting the collective effort of the fandom.
The aespa members themselves seemed genuinely overcome with emotion upon hearing their name called. “They looked like they genuinely didn’t expect a WDA win 😭 I’m happy they nabbed a trophy for it. Congrats to the girls, their encore sounded great as usual!” a fan observed, praising their raw reaction and powerful live performance that followed.
This victory is particularly special as “WDA” isn’t the album’s designated title track, which is widely believed to be “LEMONADE.” The success of a B-side in clinching a music show trophy speaks volumes about the quality of aespa’s entire album and the undeniable star power of the collaboration with G-DRAGON. “Glad WDA got its flowers, congrats to the girls + GD!” a fan joyfully declared, celebrating the track’s well-deserved recognition. The excitement doesn’t stop here, with anticipation building for future wins: “And LEMONADE’s about to rack up a ton of wins too, I can feel it.”
Congratulations to aespa, G-DRAGON, and all the dedicated MYs on this historic win!
