Red Velvet and aespa create a visual explosion when sharing the same frame for the first time

The moment Red Velvet stood next to aespa at KBS Gayo Daechukje 2021 made fans excited.

The end of the year is an exciting and busy time for Kpop idols when they constantly attend award shows and music festivals. On December 17, KBS Gayo Daechukje (KBS Song Festival 2021) took place with the performances of popular idol groups such as Red Velvet, SEVENTEEN, aespa, STAYC, ENHYPEN, TXT, IVE… 

Year-end music festivals are special occasions for idols to meet and interact with each other. During the ending stage with the presence of all artists, fans are beyond thrilled to see Red Velvet and aespa in the same frame for the first time ever. 

Since aespa’s debut, these two SM girl groups have been compared by netizens many times. SM has long been known as the home to top visuals of Kpop. Therefore, aespa standing next to Red Velvet creates a visual explosion on the screen.  

Moreover, fans are surprised by how even the 9-member lineup of Red Velvet and aespa looks. aespa, with an average height of 164cm was expected to “tower” over Red Velvet, but when two groups stood next to each other, there was not much of a height difference between the members. Red Velvet and aespa give off different vibes but are equally pretty, so it is difficult for netizens to choose which group stands out more:

• Why do I feel so proud to see this?
• Sooman’s flower garden.
• Karina’s facial features are so much brighter than my future
• They’re all so pretty like… Are they for real?? Karina somehow looks like a game character, she’s driving me crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
• They give off different vibes more than I expectedㅋㅋㅋ
• Karina is so f*cking pretty… Like she’s so freaking beautiful, she looks like a CG character.
• It’s their first time to stand next to each other, right?? All of them are so gorgeousㅠㅠㅠ
• I think Ningning has lost a lot of weight since their debut… She suits her current style so much, so pretty.
• aespa looks fierce and strong, while Red Velvet gives off the ‘Young and Rich’ Unnies vibes.
• They all look so small…

Furthermore, the sweet interaction between Red Velvet and aespa made netizens flutter. Wendy and Karina had an endless bowing “battle,” which drove viewers insane with their cuteness. Following that, the two “chatted” non-stop with each other on stage. Interesting moments between idols are a “specialty” of every music festival season!
