aespa channels Cher on Jennifer Hudson Show with “Rich Man” and a party crowd

aespa takes The Jennifer Hudson Show stage with “Rich Man,” backed by dancers and an instantly animated audience. Hudson herself sings along, visibly impressed, before urging the room to restrain their visibly giddy excitement.

During the interview, Giselle credits Cher's quip—“I am a rich man”—as the lyrical spark. The segment closes with a round of “Most Likely To,” revealing missteps, stunts, and Mischief 101 from the group's members post-their recent Billboard 200 No. 14 entry.

aespa get gritty with ‘Dirty Work’ in iPhone 16 Pro-shot warehouse video

aespa return with ‘Dirty Work’, a stark performance video set in a cavernous warehouse, where high-impact choreography collides with rust-toned grime. Captured entirely on an iPhone 16 Pro, it showcases the group in motion—fluid, angular, relentless—without the distraction of glitzy edits or conceptual frills.

Winter notes this version of the choreography exists solely for the teaser, separate from the main video due on 27 June. Shot in 4K at 120fps, the footage relishes every whip-fast gesture and lash of light with tech-showroom fluency, barely pretending not to flaunt it.

Online reactions flood Reddit, dissecting everything from Karina’s focus-pulling gaze to Giselle’s red hair choice—both subjects of heavy speculation and informal frame-by-frame analysis. The track, with its brooding bassline and slick veneer of menace, draws comments calling it a “villain origin story”—a phrase that now seems compulsory for any minor chord.

Available in Korean, English, and instrumental, ‘Dirty Work’ will appear in three physical versions: Dirty Case, Dirty Worker, and Dirty Code. Before their full comeback arrives, aespa submit this teaser—raw, deliberate, and strategically unsweetened.
