aespa's Ningning Transforms Dramatically for Harper's Bazaar Korea November Cover

Ningning, a member of the global sensation group aespa, has captivated fans with a stunning and dramatic transformation for the November cover of Harper's Bazaar Korea.

The photoshoot, themed 'Always on point,' aimed to showcase Ningning's impeccable presence. Harper's Bazaar revealed, "We presented Ningning with the role of a 'glamorous actress who defined an era' and asked her to express boldness and passion she hadn't shown before." Despite the challenging direction, Ningning delivered a drastically different expression and bold attitude, earning applause from the entire staff.

In a subsequent interview, Ningning shared her thoughts: "There haven't been many moments in my life where I felt I was a bold person, but I believe I am someone who can express emotions. So, today, I naturally brought out what I felt. This kind of experience is always enjoyable."

When asked about embracing new changes, she expressed confidence in her group: "I think aespa has become a genre in itself. While it's good to show various sides, I hope we always retain our unique color in every moment."

Ningning also discussed her feelings about the group's ongoing world tour, 'SYNC : PARALLELINE,' which has spanned North America and Europe, and is set to continue in Japan and Thailand. "Tours are truly tough. However, when I see so many fans from various cities gather for us, I forget the difficulties. It's hard to put into words the emotions I feel while dancing and singing in front of the fans. This sense of pride and accomplishment, and the tour process itself, will surely remain as precious memories for me and aespa," she remarked.

The full spread, including Ningning's cover and interview, will be available in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar. One of the cover versions will also be provided as a poster. The accompanying fashion film will be released on the official website, Instagram, and YouTube.

Korean netizens have reacted overwhelmingly positively to Ningning's bold transformation. Comments flooded in, praising her, such as "Ningning's concept digestion is insane!", "My heart races seeing Ning Ning's bold side, like a Chanel ambassador," and "It's great to see another side of aespa."
