aespa, currently dominating charts with their new mini-album 'Rich Man', is gearing up for an intensified global promotion schedule.

The group is slated to appear on ABC's renowned morning show 'Good Morning America' on the 12th (local time) and has also recorded an episode of Fox TV's popular talk show 'The Jennifer Hudson Show'. This marks aespa's third appearance on 'Good Morning America' and their first on Jennifer Hudson's show, where they are expected to perform their new track 'Rich Man' and engage in related discussions.

Released on the 5th, aespa's sixth mini-album 'Rich Man' has already surpassed 1.11 million pre-order copies, hinting at a seventh consecutive million-selling album. Upon release, the album topped iTunes Top Album charts in 14 regions worldwide and dominated various overseas charts, including China's QQ Music, showcasing their robust global popularity.

The UK's prominent newspaper, The Times, lauded the album as that of an 'invincible existence', awarding it a perfect score of 3 points – the highest ever for a K-pop album review. The review specifically praised the unique chorus usage in 'Bubble' and the overall quality of tracks like 'Drift', 'To the Girls', and 'Rich Man'.

Meanwhile, aespa is set to commence their arena tour starting in Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Aichi, Japan, in October, followed by stops in Bangkok, Thailand, and Osaka, Japan, in November.

aespa is a four-member girl group under SM Entertainment, gaining attention from their debut for their unique worldview and metaverse concept. The members include Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning, who have built a global fandom with their powerful performances and exceptional live vocals.
