The upcoming album features 10 brand-new tracks that promise to blend the group’s signature futuristic aesthetic with a more mature and evolved sound. Pre-orders for the highly anticipated project are now open through major retailers worldwide.

This release marks aespa’s first full-length album in two years, serving as the follow-up to their chart-topping 2024 debut ‘Armageddon.’ The announcement comes at a time of massive momentum for the quartet, consisting of members Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning.

In just the last year, the group was named Billboard Women in Music 2025 “Group of the Year” and earned a prestigious nomination for “Best Female K-Pop Artist” at the 2026 American Music Awards.

Their creative influence also expanded beyond music recently with a 2026 Red Dot Design Award for their visual innovation.

To support the release of ‘LEMONADE,’ aespa will launch their next massive global concert series.

While the group has kept fans guessing by only revealing a partial title for the tour—”2026-27 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : æ“—they have confirmed the trek will span across Asia, North America, Latin America, and Europe.

This tour aims to bring their high-tech, immersive multiverse concept to life for audiences around the world.

Since their record-breaking debut with “Black Mamba” in 2020, aespa has consistently dominated the global charts. Their previous EPs, including ‘Girls’ and ‘MY WORLD,’ both reached the top of the Billboard Top Album Sales chart, solidifying their position as one of the most influential acts in modern K-pop.

With ‘LEMONADE,’ the group continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and production, reinforcing their slogan that “only I can define myself.”
