All language subtitles for aespa WORLD TOUR in cinemas (1080)

On the day of our first concert,

right before getting on stage,
I would get so nervous.

Of course, I would get nervous
before I start,

but it is at the very moment
I step on the stage.

I cannot get nervous.

Sometimes I ask myself, 'Did we
really give our best until now?

I think there are some parts
we didn't show yet,

as in the best version of
ourselves?

We still have a long way to go.

If we wanna do it right,
we gotta go to the top.

The group aespa, through their
activeness in the United States,

are receiving even more support
from their fans in South Korea.

K-pop superstar aespa

and their
ae coming to New York...

Let me present you aespa,

four girls up to trend...

aespa finally made it

to Tokyo Dome...

This Concert is called

HYPER LINE.

And at HYPER LINE,

you can see æ members,

MYs and aespa

all in one.

To me, aespa is like a beginning.

I can show everything now.

Welcome to the HYPER LINE.

Welcome to the HYPER LINE.

The debut stage that I imagined
was one that's filled with fans,

cheering for us as well.

We trained together
for a long time

and there was only the thought
of 'I have to do well.'

I think we felt it
after performing for our fans.

'Oh, we had been disconnected.'

Now that we've performed
with fans in the audience,

I think there has to be
an audience

for the artists to be able
to grow.

When we perform in front of MY,

I find myself
just having so much fun together,

and because we can interact well,

I think I thought that, 'I should
stay focused until the very end.'

When I first heard that
we're going on a world tour,

I was a bit nervous
from the excitement

and I had this anticipation about
what kind of concert it would be.

When we first heard about
the world tour,

there were some worries
as well as a lot of excitement.

Through the world tour,

because we'd be able to
meet fans from around the world,

it sounded really fun,
so we were very excited.

The name of our concert is 'SYNK.'

'aespa SYNK' refers to
the concert.

SYNK.

For us, the word 'connection'
is a very meaningful word in that,

'What if the fans
don't feel connected to us?'

These kind of thoughts
used to worry us.

But when we got to do the tour,
we got so excited.

And the concert hall was so big,

and the fact that our fans could
fill up the whole concert hall

and we got more
opportunities to meet them,

we're connected with each other
because we can feel that more.

I think it's a keyword
that's very important to us.

Next, the subtheme is...

HYPER LINE...

If æ appear first,
then with real people? Or...

We still have to figure out
the technicalities for that,

so I'll let you know
about that soon.

The meaning of this
'SYNK: HYPER LINE' concert is

about how æ, aespa, and MY

connect together in one space.

The concert starts with
morse code sound,

like, beep, beep, beep,
it starts like that.

It felt so impactful to me.

-Let's do it.
-Let's do it!

Fighting!

When they first told us
that we're going on a world tour,

since I started practising for it,
it really hit me,

but I was so nervous
every single day.

Learning new choreography
and memorising new stage movement

made me really nervous.

Every day, we really
practised maybe...

five hours each time
at the very least.

Because we haven't performed
this many songs,

I was very nervous especially
during the rehearsal at the venue.

Because I felt a lot of pressure
when preparing for the concert,

I practised harder,

and thought about how 'I want to
show them something better'.

Whether it be memorising stage-
movement or choreography,

just, more, more, more, more,
like this, no matter what.

I think I really pushed myself
during practice.

It felt like I was just constantly
moving my body without any break.

It was really hard.

Like really, really...
'Is this okay?'

I'd almost lose my mind, really.

And again,
we can't always stay satisfied.

We want to work hard so we can
show all of you something better.

During the opening stage,
when we first appeared like this,

our fans cheered for us.

And because I think I started to
really enjoy that,

I think those worries subsided
a lot during the concert.

What's up, London?

Put your hands in the air!

London, how we feeling tonight?

Let me hear you scream!

It's a world tour.

Through this world tour,

because we can receive that energy
from different countries, cities,

that was also really,
really great.

I was very, very excited.

Because we've always
talked often about

MY from all around the world

and we can show our performance
so close to them like this.

I was very, very excited for it.

I also worried a lot, like,
'Will the venue be filled?'

But when we actually did it,
so many people came.

So we had
a very valuable experience.

It was so great because it was
opportunity to meet global fans.

aespa went on
a world tour this year.

We started in Korea,

then Japan...

aespa fighting!

Southeast Asia...

United States...

KARINA, during 'na, na, na,' part,
could you move a bit to the side?

Because at the front,
the camera will capture here.

When that starts, we come here
and stay like this, and then,

after one-eight, one, two, three,
we do four of that, and then...

I think we can
just do it quickly after.

Because every stage is
of a different size,

practising the stage movement
for that specific stage

was where we focused a bit more.

And we worried a lot that we won't
be able to show the best quality.

There was some anxiety as well,

because we had never been
abroad for so long like that,

so we were
a bit anxious about that.

Honestly, for all four of us,

we're not really in the best shape
in terms of stamina.

So we were worried
and it was hard too,

but until now, we've been
trying hard to grow further.

And we share feedback
amongst each other.

'We need to get it together,'
we tell each other,

and when we get to actually
look at our stage,

'Wow, we do it way better than
on screen.' Let's feel that.

I think this mindset
was really the driving force.

I think these
two fingers also hurt.

-I hit my fingers like this.
-Really?

Because this is the centre.

Like, for our choreography,
we have to fold them like this.

We have to do it like this.

We'll get moving.

How cheeky.

It's a place filled with people
that came entirely to see us.

Coming to the concert itself is
honestly such a fascinating thing.

The language is all different,
but they memorise the lyrics

and sing together with us.

That was so moving.
That's really difficult to do.

When we get on stage,
so many MY are there

so we receive
a lot of that energy.

So I'm able to share energy
that's bigger than me.

Because of that,
when I get off the stage,

I think I seem to thirst
for it more,

so I very much look forward
to the next concert,

and have this expectation, like,

'What kind of concert
will it be today?'

The country I wanted to visit
the most since I was a trainee

was actually England.

So honestly,
I'm very excited today.

Today, we finally get to meet
our MY in London.

I didn't know such a big venue
as this would get all filled.

Thank you so much
for being with us today.

Are you all ready
to enjoy it even more?

In my opinion, KARINA is funny
and funnier than you think.

Me?

JIMIN is just so funny.

She and they're the ones
that are not funny.

I'm rather humorous.

Pi, kachu, kachu.

This isn't for the public,
so someday...

First, there's not much difference

between KARINA and YU JIMIN.

Name?

If there was a difference,

I'm the eldest in the team
but I'm the youngest in my family.

So I think I seem to like
people more...

This is the only cookie I eat.

White and red velvet. I don't eat
ones that have chocolate.

Picky eating.

Before I met aespa,

I was just an ordinary student.

I wasn't exactly normal,

because while my
friends were studying,

I prepared to become
a flight attendant.

If I hadn't become
a part of aespa,

I'd perhaps be on
a plane right now,

taking care of
the three other members.

Yeah, my solo song
Menagerie is

about a zoo

swarming with very wild animals.

Now the hardships
that come toward us,

they could be hateful comments
or lies, misunderstandings...

I compared them to wild animals.

I'm in the middle and those
wild animals are threatening me.

'It's okay, I can break this
because it's a hallucination.'

That's what that song is about.

Lyrics, yes,
I participated in writing them.

I've tried writing lyrics
multiple times

and this is the first song
that was selected.

So, it's a song that is
very meaningful to me as well.

For me, it's sort of like
revealing my journal.

Honestly,
it's a little embarrassing.

I want to work harder
and I want to do better,

so please look forward
to my future works.

I haven't really shared
this with my fans,

but I actually have stage fright.

So I don't like to get on stage
by myself, I can't,

and with our director,
Shim Jae Won,

I had a meeting about the concert

and he askek if I have any trauma
or something that scares me.

I said I'm kind of scared of birds
and can't get on stage by myself.

It's really hard mentally,

but then, suddenly a solo-
performance was added to setlist.

So during the Seoul concert,
you can see my hands are shaking.

Some people think
that's part of the show.

No, I'm actually shaking.

But then, he said that he'll
help me fight it through,

and said that's why they put
the solo song in the setlist.

But now that I stepped out to
the world, I want to do better

and I think I overcame a lot of
my fear of performing solo.

So, even if I perform alone in
the future, I won't be afraid.

I look forward to it.

WINTER is...

Why can't I find
the right words to say?

She's cute, cool, pretty
and she likes nature a lot.

WINTER also really
likes to take walks.

She listens to
music while taking

walks and seems
to like the world.

She sort of sees nature
and feels things.

I know that very well.

When you mix miso soup,
the sand...

Here, here.

When you mix miso soup...

All right.

Why isn't it coming again?

It's miso soup. Miso soup.

WINTER isn't just a cute person.

She's a very smart girl,
and cute, of course.

She's pretty and cute,
but she's a really smart girl.

You know those
intelligent characters in movies?

She's kind of like them.

I think WINTER would have been
a great leader as well.

Is it Better Things?

You're going to scratch it.
This is a very expensive camera.

Firstly,
WINTER is a little more...

intense.

Well, she has to show
charisma on stage

and the song itself
is quite intense as well,

and making decisions, she seems
to be quite good at that.

In terms of work,
I make rather realistic decisions.

KIM MINJEONG is very 'F', so she

always cries while
watching movies,

and completely emotional
and worries a lot.

She's, like, very timid.

She's a bit of a pain,
KIM MINJEONG.

I'll take a day off
to attend a fan meeting.

I thought it would hurt
my feelings, so I called in sick.

Since my heart would stop
because they're so cute.

I thought I was
a huge couch potato,

but as I went abroad and so on,

I wanted to explore outside more.

'What's in this country?'

'What is it known for?'
I look them up.

Back then we had a day
for ourselves

the day before the concert,

and I love tea.

I went to a tea shop
and made my very own tea.

I named it WINTER.

And when I saw myself like that,

'Hey, I don't actually just
stay at home as much as I think,'

I thought to myself.

Can I get a cup of tea?

My solo song, Lips is about how

I'm confessing my love for you,

so look at my lips.
That's what this song is about.

I think that kind of gentle ballad
is very difficult.

For me, in a way,

I think I showed
the genre that I'm worst at.

Wow, but I really don't think
I can do this song.

-Why?
-This kind of song.

The details or techniques,

there are a lot of such elements
that are very new to me.

It was really hard.

When you look at songs by aespa,

æ-WINTER

and æ-aespa appear.

If those lyrics have
a strong worldview-driven feeling,

by singing this song

I get more of this feeling that
I'm interacting more with fans,

so I thought, 'This is all right.'

My solo song is
about sharing with the fans.

My lyrics are what
I want to say to my fans.

I think I did it thinking that,
'I'm glad I sang this song.'

GISELLE is well-known

to be the 'hot girl',

but she's a lot more
cute than she seems.

She's not exactly delicate,
but how should I put it?

She's kind of fragile.

She's so cute.

She thinks a lot
but she's a very simple person.

She's like a baby.

Someone that might've been around
the neighbourhood as a child.

She's like an older friend,
or just friend.

What I always eat is chapagetti.

So I think half of my body
right now is like chapagetti.

I want to say I'm kind of
pure and innocent,

but if I say that, I feel like
I'm not so pure and innocent.

Did you see?

Their eyes were like this
and they're so cute!

GISELLE and UCHINAGA AERI

are quite different, I think.

I suddenly felt it.

It's a bit amazing
that I'm GISELLE right now.

AERI is very shy and
very reserved.

I'm kind of nervous.

I hope my mind remembers well.

GISELLE's image
is almost the opposite of that.

My hand gestures
or the way I talk on screen...

These things are
a little more like GISELLE.

I think there might be
such differences.

I'm really into fashion.

My own style...

MY would probably think that
they know that

but there is still so much
that I haven't shown.

I want to show a bit more of
those aspects

and I haven't shown anything yet
with regards to music either.

Doing the concert
and going on tour

was the most difficult period
out of all of my difficult times.

Since the end of last year,
I was sick very often.

So I'd end up saving
my energy unnecessarily

because if I didn't, I'd get sick,
but I'd still have to practise.

I'd get stressed about it
and then get sick again.

Because this happened repeatedly,

I think it was a little more
difficult to overcome.

Fighting.

GISELLE, we'll begin.
GISELLE, we'll start.

Okay.

-Fighting!
-Fighting!

But then the other
members noticed and

when they took care
of me and so on,

I also said, 'Oh, it's hard.'

It's something
I have to overcome myself.

So I think I thought to myself,
'I have to overcome it.'

There's a solo song of mine called

2HOT4U.

I think it's more arrogant version
of that hot girl image MY like.

'I'm too good for you,
don't come close.'

I think it's a bit ike this song
about me bragging about myself.

Though I'm reserved
in terms of personality,

I think I tried hard
to do this well.

I hope they feel that too.

aespa NINGNING is...

I think she's someone
who is very unique.

She uses her facial expressions
very well.

NINGNING is very empathetic
and just kind.

I saw her grow a lot.

I think she is
a very careful person.

Everyone thinks she's
the really cute youngest member.

She is the cute youngest member.

Eat.

I made a mistake in all of them

so I'm going to kneel down
before all the members right now.

Do you think it was
just one mistake?

I told them, three times.

During Hold On Tight

and Next Level.

How many mistakes do you think
you made during those three songs?

It wasn't just once per song.

Hey, well,
it's already in the past, so...

Something I hope that
the fans better know about is

that NINGNING is
a very professional person.

I think she kind of obsesses
over perfection.

Like, how she could look pretty
or how to look great on stage.

She's someone that
really studies that a lot,

but I hope they know

that she's someone
that works hard and is talented.

Let's go.

Hello. This is aespa NINGNING.

Hello. This is aespa NINGNING.

I'm actually
a very emotional person.

My mood fluctuates a lot and
I think I have a lot of emotions.

I don't think I can do it
because I'm shy.

I'm shy.

So when I'm alone
I tend to think a lot.

I'm someone that needs
to control her emotions.

But when I get on stage, really,
I keep my emotions aside.

I think that
I truly need to show myself.

Because that's something
that the fans want to see.

So if something sad happens
or I'm having a hard time,

I just ignore it all

and kind of feel like
I just got to do what I got to do.

-Fighting.
-Fighting.

This song is really good.

I really like this song.

The songwriter also said this
song would suit you very well.

Really?

But the demo for
this song was really good.

It really matched my taste.

I think Wake Up

is a song that can show dancing,
singing and rapping all at once,

what everyone wants to see.

I think everyone is
just joking about this.

But in the beginning, 'Wake up,
wake up' is like an alarm.

I think it would be very good
to use as an alarm.

If you hear 'Wake up, wake up',

I think everyone would
get up easily.

Never mind. Okay.

When it's hard to get up
in the morning,

I think it's a song that's great
to be used as a morning call.

When we became members,

I think we became like family
that can depend on each other.

When we're going through
some hardship,

we talk together
and help each other.

I think everyone's warm.

I always express family as a place
that you can always go back to.

I think I feel the same
with all the members.

If something happens,
everyone's there for each other.

I really don't think any member
has ever spoken ill of another.

It's a dream that's achievable

because aespa's together.

We've achieved

many dreams as aespa.

We continue to spend time
together with all the members.

This job itself was my dream.

Being on stage together
is when it feels the most real.

I think all of this happening
is possible

because we're aespa.

Kind of because all four of us
have been here together.

Because we're members of aespa,

we have fans and
there's a fandom like this.

Just our entire career overall,

I think,
exists 'because we're aespa'.

Because we know very well
how we can comfort each other,

we joke around even more.

These kind of jokes with each
other alleviate that loneliness.

It's a team that could
never be replicated.

Even though everyone's hometown
and language are different,

we came together like this
and really became one.

We're closer than anybody else

and can depend on each other.

I think it's destiny.

The reason
our fans are called 'MY'

is that we wanted to rouse
the comfy feeling of 'my friend'.

So we decided to name
our fans 'MY'.

It's a very comfortable vibe.

We're like family.

Our MY either love something
or hate it.

I think they have
clear likes and dislikes.

So our members really like them,
including myself.

One, two, three!

And they're very shy.

No, like, we shouldn't feel shy
with each other

but they're always shy.

They really like us from afar,

but they can't say
anything in front of us.

But honestly, they're cute,

and I hope we can
all become a little closer.

How about travelling together?

-With whom?
-With whom?

With us!

No, like, this is our fan meeting.

Who else would you go with?

I think MY are very observant.

They understand us
so well that honestly,

we love seeing MY's reactions.

We've shared a lot with each other

and it's just funny
because they know so much.

And what MY say is very funny.

They are like pillars.

They are the ones we can lean on.

They get scared easily
and empathise well.

Firstly,

they're kind.

I see them as friends,
charming friends.

There are times when
MY share things about themselves.

Or sometimes we hear
MY talking amongst each other.

Every time they do
something like that,

it just feels like
we're connected.

aespa, fighting!

aespa, let's go!

aespa!

aespa, fighting!

We love you, aespa!

I'm the type that always
gets nervous on stage.

I jump a bit when I try to relax.

But when I hear the fans
cheer

or sing along...

Sometimes I can hear it
over the in-ears.

I can really feel
that we're nervous together.

'We're really connected
to each other.'

I've started thinking that more
so I've come to really feel it.

When I see the venue
filled with lightsticks...

Firstly, again, the colours
of our lightsticks are pretty.

I think I feel that way.

And how did this many people
come to see me, and us?

Why do they like us?

How did they come to like us?

I'm so curious about these things.

I really can't believe it.

To be honest,
I still can't believe it.

Because, that many people
came to see us, you know?

I can't believe that.

It still doesn't feel real
that we're loved that much.

We're so thankful.

It's been quite
a while since we last met.

It's been a while, but we're happy
that we got to meet here.

I love you, MY.

It was so amazing.

How could this many people

take the time to come see us?

That requires a lot of love.

But now because our fans
do that for us...

I'm so moved that I tear up.

I'm happy that nobody got injured
and we finished it successfully.

As we continue to have
concerts together,

a hundred, thousand more times,

we'll continue to improve
and show you a lot more.

When there was no audience,

we felt disconnected on stage.

As we've performed together
with the audience,

this small lightstick
looked so big.

And we always try to
find them and say hello.

Among the crowd,
MY look so, so beautiful.

First of all, I'm so thankful that
you took the time to come see us.

I think this was a beginning
with absolutely no regrets

so thank you all so, so much.

Because of MY's love,
we can keep going,

and they give me
strength to go on.

And that is why we're here.

There's nothing that is
as powerful as love in this world.

Thank you for being with us.

So for me, I think MY is love.

I think the moment I'm most
thankful for was kind of...

Each individual has gained
more self-esteem.

We used to cheer amongst ourselves
'Fighting, fighting, fighting!'

And now we're 'Fighting!'
together with a lot of people.

I'm so thankful for that.

JIMIN, you take
good care of the members

and always strive
to show your best to the fans.

I'm truly thankful for
your beautiful heart.

Thanks.

I feel gratitude no matter
what we're doing.

No matter what appearance
or behaviour,

when they just love us
and cheer for us,

that itself gives us
so much strength.

'MINJEONG, did you hear the news?

'Chocolate companies
all around the world'

'went out of business recently'

'because your voice at the concert
was too sweet.'

First, they just had so much fun.
That was the biggest thing.

They often leave comments
or send messages through Bubble

or write us letters.

Every time I read them,
I truly feel so much comfort.

'Supporting you and liking you

'actually gives me
even more strength and comfort.'

I'm sorry it feels like
I'm always the one receiving.

I'll love you with all my heart.

We're also not really perfect,

but they're always
by our side supporting us

and happy with whatever we do,

so we're more determined
to work harder.

And really, as a person,
thank you so, so much.

Just knowing NINGNING's presence
comforts me

when I'm feeling down.

'When that happens,
NINGNING'

'and I are connected,'

'and I think that she sends
positive energy from afar.'

aespa's next move is probably
going on another tour.

And we have plans to do so.

So I think we should
continue to meet more MY

and come back to

the aespa concept.

Although we like
to show different concepts a lot,

but we can show
our individual beauty as well.

We just want to show ourselves
going up one step at a time.

And we want to show that

even if we take it slow,
we want to go up at our own pace.

We'll stay healthy, happy

and work hard
to show you all something better.

We don't want something big

because this is actually just
something that happens naturally.

We're planning to see you

a lot in 2024.

Only those of you that are
watching this movie would know

that we're planning to

see you a lot in 2024.

If you felt unsatisfied,
please come to our next concert.

When you shouted for an encore,

we were sad we couldn't do it
because we wanted to do more.

So for this tour,
we prepared a separate encore.

London, let me hear you!

We love you, London!

When I first heard that aespa's
story will come out as a movie,

I was so amazed.

And when I found out that it's
going to be released in theatres,

I got so excited.

I might be in the audience.

We're also looking
forward to it and

we're going to
actually go see it.

You don't know
when we'll be there.

So, always stay excited
and come watch, everyone.

Firstly, I was very, very happy

because on screen, you could
only see us shown on stage.

But the film will capture

all the hard work
behind the scenes

and all those memories after.

So I thought that it would be fun.

Wait, a movie?

I wondered,
'Will anyone come to watch it?'
